Greetings, Falcon Families!
This week begins our celebration of Black History Month! We will celebrate with activities during lunch, sharing information in daily announcements, and hosting a door-decorating contest celebrating Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)! We will also be honoring our amazing counseling team during National School Counselor Appreciation Week! We are so grateful for our counselors and all they do to help students achieve their academic and career goals!
Our winter sports teams continue their outstanding work! Come out and support our amazing Falcon athletes! Congratulations to the Boys' Varsity Wrestling team on their League Tournament Runner-Up finish led by Francisco Beltran and Devin Davis by becoming league champions in their weight classes! Also, congrats to Raymond De La Rosa and Ethan Mendoza for becoming JV League Champions! Congratulations to our Varsity Girls Wrestlers Rebeka Garcia, Leila Soto, Areli Mendoza, and Hannah Comstock for taking second place at the league tournament in their weight classes! Way to go Falcons!
We're also proud of our forensics class, which took two students to the valley qualifier for speech, with both bringing home trophies. Congratulations to Allie Dean on her 7th-place in valley win! Genises Estevez took home the 2nd-place trophy and will represent IHS at the state tournament. Way to RISE, Falcons!
February will be a busy - but exciting month - with Senior Nights for our soccer and basketball teams. We will be hosting another blood drive on February 13. That same evening, students will have a chance to enjoy a Valentine's movie night! Students and staff alike are also looking forward to Food Sale Day on February 20, during which clubs invite food trucks and other vendors to sell a variety of treats during lunch. There is so much to look forward to this month.
We're excited to announce that we're piloting a digital hall pass system in a few classrooms! We're looking forward to a more streamlined, safe, and efficient system to manage students who need to leave class to see their counselors, visit the library, or use the restroom. After the pilot term is complete, we'll work on expanding the system schoolwide.
Progress Report #3 closes soon, and there are only a few short weeks before the end of Quarter 3, so if your student is struggling in a particular subject, please encourage him/her to attend our after-school tutoring sessions. Tutoring sessions are available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after school until 5:15pm in the library. A late bus will be provided. IHS also offers 24-hour access to Tutor.com, which provides individualized academic support.
Interested in more ways to get involved at IHS? Looking for some additional resources? Our Parent and Family Center is here to help! Find out how to become an “observer” on Canvas to track your student’s academic progress. Our Parent and Community Center Liaison, Dolores DeLeon, has organized many events throughout the year to provide critical information, support parent involvement, and build community among our families!
Speaking of involvement, we'd love your feedback on the district's Annual Parent and Family Survey. The survey will be coming shortly.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 661.834.8001 - we appreciate your support!
Sincerely,
Guillermo Alvarado, Ed.D
Principal, Independence High School
