Dear Falcon Families,
The past week brought us some beautiful weather as we welcomed students back from spring break. We hope everyone had some time to connect with family and friends last week, and that you are all ready for the final weeks of the school year. Grades were posted for the second progress report period last Monday, and this week is the second week of the last six weeks of the year. Now is a really good time to review your students’ grades and create a study plan if you notice your student needs support. Please encourage your students to reach out to their teachers and take advantage of the many tutoring opportunities on campus; SR6 (Saturday School), teacher tutoring, peer tutoring at lunch, and more.
This week begins our annual testing season, with our state testing, the CAST and CAASPP, starting Tuesday. Please remind your students to charge their Chromebooks each day and to make a note of our unique testing schedule: regular modified Monday and block days Tuesday - Friday. During the Tuesday - Friday block days, school will end at the standard time, 3:23 pm. See below for more information about testing. AP testing begins on May 4th. Our AP students and teachers are working hard on test preparations and are looking forward to some great scores.
Spring sports playoffs begin soon, and Athletic Director Wilson will post those playoff schedules on our athletic website https://srfalcons.org/. Best of luck to all of our Spring student-athletes as they finish off their respective seasons.
Do you have a student returning next year? Families with students returning to Scripps next year, please complete the registration information ASAP. The deadline is May 8th. See below for more information.
Receiving progress report cards: The district will continue its use of digital delivery for progress report cards. Please see below if you need to update your preferences, or need more information about verifying your access.
Yearbooks: This is the last chance to order a copy of the 2026 Yearbook through Jostens. Online sales close on 4/22. We only have 145 copies left—once we run out, that's it! Visit this link for more information: https://jostensyearbooks.com/?REF=A01006935
To keep on top of events and deadlines, please encourage all students to log into their grade level Google classroom, and to follow ASB on Instagram, for the latest, most up to date information. This is especially important for our Seniors, as spring deadlines and updates are frequently updated and no one wants to miss out on any spring event.
This is the week! This Saturday, April 18th from 1-3pm in the SRHS Gym, the SRHS Foundation and Explore Solutions will host the WACAC Fair. The event will feature over 100 colleges. Go HERE for the list of Universities and Colleges registered to attend. Please have your student register with StriveScan prior to attending the college fair: https://app.strivescan.com/registration

Please be sure you remind your 11th grade student to come prepared with a fully charged district issued chromebook, charger and headphones (headphones will be available to borrow.) For any student that is out, makeups will be scheduled the following week.
