October 2021

After learning about Mayan temples and architecture, students were able to design and create a replica of a Mayan temple out of marshmallows and toothpicks.

Every week in ESL class we do a themed lesson around a children's book. We participate in front loading conversations, preview vocabulary, and do extension activities that allow us to review and use vocabulary in context. 

This week our focus was on a book titled, "Strega Nona" by Tomie de Paola about pasta, magic, and the idea that actions have consequences. Later in the week students got to eat some delicious pasta donated by El Sartén.

Thank you El Sartén, it was enjoyed by all!

Dear SJHS parents and guardians:

Today marks the end of the first term of the school year. We have had a great first term; we feel like our new and returning students are getting to know each other well and have been able to establish friendships. Since today is the last day of the term, there is no school tomorrow. We hope you and your families will have a good long weekend.

If students missed the information meetings for wrestling or 9th grade basketball, please have them visit the office for the information packets.

Dear SJHS parents and guardians:

We just finished up a great Red Ribbon Week with dress up days, trivia, and lunch games. Our student council did a great job of planning the week and carrying out the activities. We appreciate their work! Next week will be a short week. We only have three school-wide activities:

All teachers will be available on Thursday, October 7th until 4:00 pm to help students who may have fallen behind or need some extra time or help on their assignments. The end of the term is October 21st, so we encourage students to use this afternoon of extra time.

Todos los maestros estarán disponibles hasta las 4:00 el jueves 7 de octubre, para ayudar a los estudiantes que se hallan atrasado o necesiten más tiempo o ayuda en sus tareas. El final del trimestre es el 21 de octubre, por lo que animamos a los estudiantes a que usen esta tarde de tiempo extra.

We caught our Dual Language students having a blast while working on their Hispanic Heritage month projects.
