Phone Confiscation: We have not been confiscating phones during instructional time consistently during the first quarter. Please inform students that we will be confiscating phones consistently if they are out of class during instruction time moving forward. Thank you all for your support.

PTSA: Thank you to many of you who joined PTSA. Thank you! If you did not get a chance, please join Schurr's PTSA. By collaborating and co-hosting events with Schurr's PTSA, we are able to provide many more opportunities for our students and staff. Membership matters.

Supportive Spartans

Courageous Spartans

Courageous Spartan Drill Team started off the competition season with a First Place win. We commend you for your hours of courageous hard work in order to create winning seasons.

Uplifting Spartans

Uplifting Schurr High School Spartan Legion and Montebello High School Mighty Oiler Brigade collaborated and uplifted both school communities at the 2024 Rivalry Game. Thank you for your support maintaining a respectful, uplifting tone befitting both schools.

Responsible Spartans

Responsible Spartans--Varsity Football, Junior Varsity Football, and Frosh Football--finished the rivalry sweep, Montebello's Pride of the City, with a decisive 42-0 victory. We are proud of the courage, hard work, respect, and responsibility our coaches instill in our student-athletes.

Respectful Spartans

Respectful Spartans uplifted Varsity Football from Schurr's new Student Section. Students respectfully and responsibly supported their Spartans through their uplifting communication.

Spartan Spirit

Gratitude: Thank you to Alma Aguilar, Jeannette Alvarado, Bea De la Rosa, Trevor Lomas, Denise Quan, Nelly Rios, and Ray Verduzco for their critical thinking, collaboration, and communication identifying students who qualified for Extended 4th, highlighting rosters, stamping stickers, and counting stickers to share with our students.

Gratitude: Thank you to everyone for a successful first quarter with Extended 4th. We are still analyzing data, but we do know that ninety-nine more students qualified for Extended 4th this quarter. Let's continue collaborating to improve our students' classroom performance.

Gratitude: Thank you Claudia Monreal and USB for an uplifting, respectful Spirit Week last week for Rivalry/Senior Week, culminating in an uplifting experience on Friday's football game.

Gratitude: Thank you to our football team for recognizing our stellar staff on Staff Night during our Rivalry game against Montebello.

Gratitude: Thank you for supportively greeting students and each other when you first interact. That small moment can make a student's and person day. A "hello, ____" or "good morning, ____" goes a long way to create a safe, positive learning culture. Thank you for your uplifting Spartan spirit.

Gratitude: Thank you for continuing to hand out Spartan Bucks to students who are showing Schurr values and expectations (Supportive, Courageous, Hardworking, Uplifting, Responsible, and Respectful) and the 4Cs (Critical Thinker, Collaborator, Communicator, and Creator).
