District Attendance Letter Clarification
The letter emailed this past week, titled “Attendance Matters,” is from the district. I understand there has been some confusion because the letter, when read initially, looks like a student has an attendance problem. To clarify, every student receives a letter, regardless if they have attendance issues or not. The district is sending out monthly communication to parents about each student’s attendance just to inform families. Evidence of an attendance problem would be indicated by the graph towards the bottom 3rd of the letter that compares your student to a “typical student” in SDUSD. These letters will continue to be sent monthly. As a school, we are sending more specific letters directly to families of only those students who have uncleared absences, tardies or truancies. These site letters will more specifically indicate if a student has attendance issues over a 3-week span.
Student Password Reset Update
As indicated in the December 1, 2022 Superintendent email communication ‘San Diego Unified Incident’, SDUSD IT will be resetting passwords as a precaution for all students. Scripps Ranch High students’ passwords will be reset on January 30th and new passwords will be issued January 31st. We will print the new student passwords and deliver them to students during their first or second period classes on January 31st.
