Message from the Principal
Hello Spartans,
I hope you all had a restful weekend. Monday marks the start of our fourth week of school. We will have our first progress report card in just four weeks, on Friday September 2nd. Parents/guardians, if you haven't already done so, please make sure you set up your Jupiter Grades account so you can monitor your student's grades. If you need help setting it up, please contact our parent center for support.
Additionally, we will start our tutoring program this week. We will offer both a morning and afternoon tutoring session, Monday through Thursday in our College & Career Center. Please see the flyer below for more details.
Also, please save the date! Open House will be held virtually on Thursday August 18th, 2022. As the date nears, you will receive information on how to join our on-line general session and live classroom presentations. We look forward to visiting with you.
Have a great fourth week of school!
Go Spartans!
Julio Alcala

Home of Champions!
Did You Know?
Did you know that Chula Vista High School participates in the oldest continuous rivalry football game in San Diego County vs Sweetwater High School? With 75 years of continuous matchups, the Spartans and the Red Devils battle it out each Fall for the "Legacy of Pride" trophy.
A 1991 graduate of Chula Vista High School, Donnie Edwards went on to play football for the UCLA Bruins before his 13 seasons playing linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Diego Chargers.
Donnie visited Sparta last week to help with the planning of the Chula Vista High School Foundation Golf Tournament. Donnie is always willing to give back to his community as well as to those who served to protect us, through his Best Defense Foundation.
Alternative Household Income Survey
Dear SUHD Parents,
You've been invited to participate in a very important survey that will impact your child's school funding and support services next year. A school's State and Federal funding is based on the number of eligible Alternative Household Income forms that are submitted each year. This determines how much funding your child's school will receive the following year, which allows for implementation of academic support programs and resources to support student academic success.
Resources and benefits for your child include:
Academic supports: tutoring and intervention programs after school and Saturdays
Classroom supplies and instructional materials
Classroom technology equipment and instructional software
High Schools:
Waivers for high school college admission exams
Fee-reduced high school exams (AP and IB exams)
Fee-reduced college applications
This survey will include the following two questions and a required E-signature:
Number of people living in the home?
Total Monthly Income?
To access this survey log onto your district's Infinite Campus Parent Portal at Https://campusportal.sweetwaterschools.org and select the survey link in your inbox.
This survey will be accepting responses from 07/01/2022 until 06/30/2023.
Gates will be open for students to enter campus at 8:00am. We will have four entry points with designated drop off areas for students. Those are marked on the map with a blue arrow:
#1 North 100, drop off point is the driveway in the front of the 100 building.
#2 South 100, drop off point is the parking lot in front of the GYM.
#3 Youth Center, drop off point is the Youth Center parking lot on L street.
#4 K Street Gate, drop off point is on K street.
These areas will also serve as pick up points for students after school. For the safety of all, please make sure you observe all traffic patterns and rules.
SUHSD COVID Protocols
Please make sure you also familiarize yourself with our COVID protocols:
- When indoors vaccinated staff and all students are strongly recommended to wear a face mask.
- Unvaccinated staff and adult visitors must wear masks when in the presence of others indoors.
- In classrooms with immunocompromise staff or students, we are asking the classroom communities to please support each other by wearing masks when indoors.
An exception where staff or students will be required to wear masks at this point is after they are returning to school following exposure to COVID. These additional protocols are our best way to ensure we can keep our students and staff on campus and engaged in learning this school year.
Message from SUHSD Student Support Services
Dear parents/guardians of Sweetwater Union High School District students,
The department of Student Support Services welcomes you to the 2022-2023 school year and wishes your family a successful year. Student attendance is a strong predictor of student academic success. Please know we care about your student and believe if present, they can do well in school! Therefore, in our efforts to partner with you on ensuring your student's attends school, we would like to share what we can do together. First, we encourage you to download the Campus Parent application where you can set-up it up to notify you in real time if your student is marked tardy or absent. In addition, you can also receive updates to announcements, assignments, grades, schedules, and more. Using your parent portal account, you can adjust the method you wish to receive the notifications (text, email, phone call).
In addition, starting on Monday August 1, 2022, per state mandate, the district will start sending via email attendance letters to students' parents for students that have accumulated 3, 6, and/or 9 unexcused absences. Per district policy, parents or guardians have up to 30 days to excuse absences.
The department of Student Support Services encourages students to stay on track by making up their absences as appropriate and by completing any missed assignments.
Thank you for your cooperation!
