Dear Falcon Families,
Last week we finished our annual CAASPP and CAST testing with our juniors. Make up testing, for students who were absent, will begin this week. AP testing will begin May 4th. Our students and teachers continue to work hard, preparing to represent SRHS with some outstanding AP scores again this year. Please remind your students that we have approximately four weeks left in the school year. Encourage them to review their grades and follow up with their teachers if they need tutoring or have questions about their grades.
Spring sports playoffs are beginning soon. Athletic Director, Todd Wilson, will post those playoff schedules ASAP on our athletic website https://srfalcons.org/. Best of luck to all of our Spring athletes as they finish off their respective seasons!
Please save the date (Friday, April 24th!) for our annual Visual Arts Festival. This year the event will take place in and around our theater. Get ready to see some amazing art, photography, films and one act plays. The Art Walk will begin at 6pm and the theater and screening rooms will open at 6:30pm. The theater will host our Improv troupe, select films and one act plays. See below for more information and a link to the festival website.

- Log in to your PowerSchool Parent Portal account (powerschool.sandi.net) using a web browser (not on mobile app).

Next SR6 Session is Saturday April 25th - Reminder
Our next session will be held Saturday April 25th, with many AP review or mock exams hosted including AP Gov, AP Physics 1, AP Physics C, AP English, AP Calc, and AP Spanish. Mr. Banuelos will also be hosting for Spanish and social science. The flyer is updated with S2 dates and scheduled teachers. SR6 (Scripps Ranch 6) is an academic support available to all students. It is a 6th day of school hosted on select Saturdays for four hours, 8am-12pm. A breakfast and lunch meal is available for all students attending Core Academy at no charge. Signing up by the Wednesday prior, and selecting “yes” to breakfast and lunch guarantees it will be available for your student. SR6 is also an avenue for students to recover their attendance (AZTWs in PowerSchool) to remain eligible for school events. View Semester 25-26 SR6 Dates or flyer with all sign up forms.
That’s all for today. Enjoy your weekend.
Sincerely,
Matt Lawson, Ed.D
