7th Grade: Mrs. Ring's period 5 is about to finish their second novel, One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia. While reading, students are invited to read anywhere in class and relax with a stuffed animal. After reading, students continued to write their narrative essay or begin their AR non-fiction slideshow.

8th Grade: Students in Ms. Rains' 8th-grade class are finishing up reading Touching Spirit Bear. As they read, students answer comprehension questions. Students are working on their final project that will be due Wednesday.

7th Grade: Mrs. Bullen's 7th graders have been studying Aztecs. This week they looked at the family life and beliefs Aztecs held and how those played a role in their life.

8th Grade: All of Ms. Gonzales 8th grade history classes are learning about the U.S. Constitution and the three branches of government, Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. They recently completed a Tree of Government project where they demonstrated their knowledge.

Band: Students in Mr. Evans 4th period band class have been learning how to read music and are practicing their rhythm using drum practice pads.

AVID: Seventh grade AVID students have been working on a collaborative project exploring options after high school graduation. Eighth grade AVID students have been exploring options that exist in high school by conducting an online scavenger hunt. AVID students participate in tutorials with college tutors on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as part of our AVID program.

Your student SHOULD NOT attend school if they have ANY of the common COVID-19 symptoms.

The current guidance advises staff members and students with symptoms of COVID-19 infection not to return for in-person instruction until they have met CDPH criteria to return to school for those with symptoms:
