GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Open House – Tomorrow Tuesday February 2 from 6-8pm. Come and join the students and staff of Soquel High School for our 8th Grade Open House. This is a great opportunity to find out about our school and community, see exhibits of student work and to meet with teachers to discuss programs and courses. Please come as we are looking forward to meeting you and answering any questions you may have! We also have a few sporting events scheduled that night that you may also check out while you are here: 5:30pm in the Gym for the Varsity Girls’ Basketball game vs. Scotts Valley HS, 6pm in the Stadium for the Varsity Girls’ Soccer game vs. St. Francis HS, and 7pm in the Gym for the Varsity Boys’ Basketball game vs. Scotts Valley HS.
New Schedules – They can be picked up in your First Semester A2 class at 8:40a (even if you think you will not be continuing with that class in the new Second Semester). Remember that you must go to the classes on your schedule. Do not start attending another class until you have been formally notified by your Counselor of any changes. If you go to another class without being on the teacher’s roll, you will be marked absent unexcused and have to go to Saturday School. First period classes will meet as usual.
Remember – Our Attendance policy states that the number of unexcused tardies and unexcused absences does not revert back to “zero” at the start of the new Second Semester. Your totals will continue to accrue from their current status through the end of the current school year.
Need something special to start your day? Come on down to the Blue & Gold Café in Room 203. Open all week during 1st Period and Brunch. Winter Formal – Non-student guest applications are now available in the Front Office (the pink forms on the far right at the back wall next to the Knight!). February 10th will be the last day to turn them in (and February 11th is the last day bids will be for sale). Complete BOTH sides and please return them to Tjoni during Break in the Security Office as soon as possible in order to get the cheapest pricing on your bids. The following is required to become eligible to attend Formal:
Saturday School – We are now back to the regular schedule, so be sure to attend at the usual time and in the usual place (8:30a-12:30p in the Library on Saturday). (Also, see bolded sentence in the above Winter Formal announcement.) Formal – A Knight in Space on February 19th at the Cocoanut Grove. If you have ASB Stickers, your tickets are discounted when you purchase them at the Attendance Office so you can save money! The prices go up each week, so buy quickly!! Go look through the halls for prices and details. Front Office Aides – Anyone interested in helping out in the Front Office, there are still a few openings left…specifically A2 and A3. If you have good attendance, no behavior referrals, and grades of As and Bs only, please stop by and see Cheryl. She’d love to have you sign up. Electronic Devices – Students, please do not use electronic devices during class time. If you have an electronic device confiscated by a school official, you must make an appointment for a parent/student conference with an Administrator before it is returned. IF you HAVE to bring your electronic devices to school, please keep them in a secure place. Electronic devices are stolen every day, and many of these can be avoided if you take some extra precautions in securing them. Better yet, leave them at home. Skateboarders – Now that lockers have been distributed, there is no reason for skateboarding on campus!! Infinite Campus – Make sure you are checking Infinite Campus for your attendance. If you neglect to check it, you will be unable to make corrections after three days, and you will have to live with the outcome.
