Alta Loma High School is excited to announce our new program and class schedule for the 2012-2013 school year. Designed by Alta Loma teachers & staff, our new Academy Schedule will increase academic achievement, offer more individualized help from teachers and peers, and help students build social relationships at school. This extra time is built in so students can get tutoring, help from teachers, and help from peers within the school day! The Academy Schedule involves 4 components: Brave Academy, Brave Study, Brave Tutorial, and Brave Activities. Students will be placed into one of these four areas during Academy time.
 

May, 2012

With Spring Break, Prom, and the major standardized tests (STAR and CAHSEE) now behind us, the school year is rapidly coming to an end. We conclude on Wednesday, May 23rd.  Final progress reports have been mailed home, and you should have received them by now. It is imperative that all students and parents use that information to assess progress in each class. 

This is especially crucial for senior students as graduation is right around the corner, and we want to see all of our seniors at the commencement ceremony at the Epicenter in Rancho Cucamonga on May 23rd. Parents can help by continuing to review your student’s work each day and by ensuring that homework is complete. Also, please help by making sure your student is attending every class, every day. If needed, please take advantage of our Guidance Office. We are happy to assist students and parents in their endeavors to improve, achieve, and finish the year successfully.

These are the senior events to look forward to on Wednesday, May 23rd:

*Students must attend rehearsal and submit the Commencement Agreement to receive graduation tickets.

• Senior Breakfast at Etiwanda Gardens 7:30 a.m.
• Mandatory Graduation Rehearsal at The Epicenter (Quakes Stadium) 10:00 a.m. to noon
• Commencement ceremony at the The Epicenter at 7:00 p.m. (gates open at 6:00 p.m.)

Students should begin preparing for finals now by reviewing content that they learned each night. 

Summer School will be in session May 29 to June 28 (Mon. – Thurs., (except first week - Tues – Friday). Registration will take place the last week of school. Contact your student’s counselor if you believe your student ill need to attend.

We look forward to the 2012-2013 school year, when we will implement our new Academy Program.  This is an endeavor that we will put in place to further support student achievement by providing students with additional time within the school day for such things as freshmen transition, study time, and tutoring.  All students will receive an orientation to this new program in the coming weeks, and they will be provided with information to take home. We also have provided information on our website. Please visit www.altalomahigh.com for more information.

As always, please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. I wish you all a wonderful summer season.
