Dear Falcon Families,
And just like that, we’ve wrapped up the first progress grading period of semester two—meaning we are now two-thirds of the way through the school year! Time is flying, and we hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend. As we head into the upcoming week, here are a few reminders and updates to keep on your radar.
The first six-week progress report period officially ended on 2/13, and teachers will be finalizing grades by Tuesday morning. If you notice that your student (or students) may be struggling in any subject, please encourage them to connect with their teachers and take advantage of the many academic resources available on campus. There’s plenty of support to help them stay on track.
Winter CIF playoff games start this coming week. Be sure to visit srfalcons.org for schedules and updates. If you can, come out and cheer on our Falcon athletes as they compete to bring home some championships. Our talented students in the Falcon Playhouse are ready to take the stage with this year’s musical production, Gypsy! The show opens on 2/20, and you won’t want to miss it. For ticket information and showtimes, head over to falconplayhouse.com.
Please encourage all students to log into their grade level Google classroom, and to follow ASB on Instagram, for the latest updates and information on events and deadlines. 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.
Below you will find reminders and information about signing up for summer school, Extended Day classes starting the week of 2/24, Graduation Information website for Class of 2025, Grad Nite Information Website, How to report bullying, the Wednesday College and Career Series, and more.
See below for the latest updates as of 2-16-25.

Bullying/Report a Concern Link - Reminder
For instances of bullying or to report a concern, please use this Bullying Report Link; the link is also posted at the very bottom of our school website. You will then select “Report Bullying.” The very first question asks “Is your concern about the conduct of an employee?” If the answer is yes, it will direct you to a different form. Prior to filing a report, we ask that you review the district’s best practices for resolving concerns, which starts at addressing the concern directly at the site level. Once reports are submitted they are received by the district’s Office of Investigations, Compliance & Accountability (ICA). A member of their team will reach out to you to confirm receipt and ask any pertinent questions. Ultimately the report will be directed to the site-level authority for resolution.

The Scripps Ranch High School Foundation is excited to announce the Wednesday Career Series as it continues on February 19th with a presentation focusing on Careers in Art, presented by Chris Ryall, writer and publisher of comic books and a TV series.
