Principal's Message
Good evening, Bruin families-
Fall is upon us as we begin our 2nd quarter. Please remember that this is a great time to check-in with your teachers about how to improve your grade before our semester grades are posted on transcripts at the end of December!
We had a great time celebrating our Homecoming this week with dress-up theme days, a Homecoming Parade and much more! Our ASB students worked very hard to make this week special!
It's time for our Student-Athletes to think about trying out for Winter Sports; make sure you check the Athletics link on our website for more information.
Sincerely-
Principal
Julie Hummel

Pre-registration does not change the voting age, which is 18. Instead, it allows eligible Californians ages 16 or 17 to complete the online voter registration form providing sufficient time and opportunity to get ready to vote.
The new online pre-registration applies to California youth who are 16 or 17 and meet the following criteria:
- A United States citizen and a resident of California,
- Not currently serving a state or federal prison term for the conviction of a felony (for more information on the rights of people who have been incarcerated, please see the Secretary of State's Voting Rights Restored: Persons with a Prior Felony Conviction), and
