Hello Conquistador Nation! It's Presidents Day Week! There is no school on Friday or Monday! It is also Black History Month. Each week we are celebrating the amazing accomplishments of African Americans in our society. Today we talked in Admin meeting about Sojourner Truth who is quoted as saying "Truth is powerful and it prevails." We have seen some amazing students do some amazing things even when they feel like the right thing is the hardest they still do whats right. Thats is why SHS is amazing. Kids are willing to tell their truth and educate others and stand up for what they believe in. We as adults, being human also need to do the best we can to listen to them! We are in playoffs and I will be traveling to DePortola 3 times this week to talk to parents about classes etc for next year. It's going to be a busy 4 days.
Also: we have NEW Serra gear! Get it right here! https://squareup.com/store/serrafoundation/ check out the pics!!!!

Winter Formal:
On March 2, we will be having our Winter Formal Dance. The dance is at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park from 7-10 p.m. The dance is titled “Astroworld” and the theme is Galaxy, hopefully this dance will lead to an “out of this world” experience. Tickets are already on sale, starting at $25 without an ASB card and $35 without. These prices continue until February 22. From February 25-March 1, all tickets will be $45, so get yours as soon as possible. Dance agreements can be found outside the finance office. We’re so excited to see you all there! Great job ASB!
CAL SOAP:
Need help with your future? Well Serra high school provides Cal-SOAP for seniors and juniors during school! Cal-SOAP is the California student opportunity and access program, which helps high schoolers know what has to be done in order to have a successful future. The helpers, Sidney and Jenny Luu, assist students with applying to colleges, FASFA, and scholarships. They also make sure students have a better understanding about their future.
Seniors can receive help by Sidney Tuesdays and Thursdays during school
Juniors can receive help by Jenny Luu Tuesdays Thursday and Friday
Lastly, Starting February 12 there will actually be a financial aid day from 7:30 a.m- 2:30p.m in the media center where students can get help applying for fasfa and more.
Noises Off!:
The pressures on, and it’s time to get ready to be in the depth of a play during the March play know as, Noises Off! Students apart of Serra high’s theater class are now beginning to prepare for their upcoming play in March, Noises Off, and rehearsals are on their way. And friendly reminder remember in March to purchase your tickets at the door of the theater room. And show some support for Serra’s hard working students!!!
Instruction Spotlight!:
In Governance this month we talked about many things. One was a new course called Green Up which will be more hands on and in addition is NGSS aligned. It also gets the same credit and A-G approved! We will still have Adv Physics and AP (hopefully) but we are hoping that this new curriculum will allow more students to have an appreciation for Physics rather than the "OMG Physics is so hard" mentality! We also will be starting one on one meetings with teachers to look at their data and go through the action plans previously discussed!
Athletics: SPRING SPORTS ARE HERE in a week! CHECK MAX PREPS!A great way to spend your evenings is with SHS Athletics and our amazing events. There are so many that we have our own website devoted to just this topic. Please reference this link which can also be found on our webpage.http://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/serra-conquistadors-(san-diego,ca)/calendar.htm Reminder: Athletics is a privilege not a right. An athletes' first step if they are acting in a manner unbecoming of Serra is that Athletics is taken away for the season! A sports physical dated after June 4, 2018 must also be turned into the front office with the confirmation form from the website. To get cleared for athletics go to www.athleticclearance.com
