Greetings, Falcon Families!
Another week of celebrating our amazing Falcons - congratulations to our Energy Academy students (and their hard-working teachers!) for their successful final presentations! Testing began this week, and students are working hard to demonstrate their mastery of academic standards. Our clubs, programs, and sports teams welcomed incoming freshmen and their families at Thursday's Freshman Orientation - we are thrilled to welcome the Class of 2030! We'll continue to connect with our newest Falcons, with freshman registration taking place over the next two Mondays (3/16 and 3/23). ASB and Link Crew students will be busy giving campus tours and helping ease any new-student anxiety!
As we approach Spring Break, please remind your students that confetti eggs are strictly prohibited on campus - students found with them will be subject to disciplinary action. Thank you for helping keep our campus clean and safe!
The grading window for Quarter 3 ended this past Friday, so if your student is struggling in one or more subjects, please encourage them to attend our after-school tutoring sessions available on Tuesdays through Thursdays (late transportation provided).
Another valuable resource that’s available to students at school and at home is Tutor.com. This website provides 24/7 live, online tutoring services to students in any subject. Tutoring can be via text or video chat, and all tutors are highly trained professionals that can support students with any needs they might have. This includes reviewing concepts, homework assistance, essay analysis, and study help for upcoming tests. Find more information on Kern High’s Digital Resource page.
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.
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
