Lockdown Drill - Monday, March 4th at 1:20pm
We will be conducting a drill to test the “Hide” portion of the “Run, Hide, Fight” response to an Active Shooter.
We will be partnering with Suisun Police. They are sending 3 - 5 officers to assist us with the drill.
Please see the attached memo distributed to all with details. Please go over the details of the drill with your 5th period students, but do not share with them the safeword.
We will debrief with SPD at our March 5th Faculty Meeting.

GATE Night
Is Thursday, February 28th from 5 to 7pm! Thank you to Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Williamson, Mrs. Halls and everyone that signed up to support the event. If you like the TV Show “Shark Tank”, please come out and see what our students have to pitch to the judges!!


 Additional Supervision
  • **We are no longer requiring students to have an escort to the restroom during 4/5/6th periods. Please excuse only one student at a time from your class and write a PASS for them to be in the hallway.
  • Campus Supervisors are locking the bathrooms at 11:35 prior to doing the detention sweep; and unlocking them once all 4th period students are in class. This is to help improve B lunch students’ attendance during 4th period.
  • Ms. Corrie is still out, but we have Mr. Jason working on campus on a “bridge” assignment as a Campus Monitor until March 3rd. He comes to us from Dan O. Root.
  • In addition, we have completed reference checks for 3 more people for the vacant Noon Duty Supervisor positions. We are looking forward to having them join us soon.


RFEP Monitoring
As required by Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), we are now monitoring our Reclassified- Fluent English Proficient students for four years after “graduating” from English learner status. Follow-up forms have been distributed to the student’s Engilsh teacher so the “Teacher Observation” section can be completed. Please look at the form carefully. If the student is not demonstrating satisfactory skills and academic progress, the interventions or supports that have been used so far must be identified. After the RFEP monitoring forms are completed, please return to our CSEL, Mrs. Williamson. If you have any questions, please see admin. Thank you!

More good news in January. Our referrals are down... Curiously, our Cougar Credit points given to students are down as well... The kids are responding with better behavior. We just need to keep up the positive praise! If we continue to promote positive behavior (giving points), we can assume that there will be fewer referrals and fewer tardies!! Let’s not leave our students hanging. Looking deeper, there is still more work to be done. Do you see the achievement gap in this data?? When one group is over-represented with a higher discipline rate t...
