Eagles,

Thank you to our amazing AVID parents for joining us on Thursday.

AVID families were invited to a Parent Reception in the AVID Tutorial Room before Back to School Night began and 16 students and families join us. The purpose was to welcome and build partnerships to help AVID best understand how to help their child/student.

Eagles, teachers will submit Progress Report grades this Monday, 9/16 and Progress Reports will be mailed out by Wed., 9/18.

Senior Eagles!

If you've took a college course during the summer or last spring and have not submitted your unofficial transcript yet, please see Ms. Afshar or your counselor on Monday. All dual enrollment courses you would like on your transcript need to be submitted by Monday, 9/16, in order to appear on the Webgrants submission, which helps with college applications.

Please come to the Counseling Office for support and to answer any questions.

Jonah Mason 11th Grade

How long have you been playing football?

I first started playing football when I was about 8 years old, that was at the La-Mirada Pop Warner League. I was there for about 2 years, then I started playing again my sophomore year. I’ve generally played wide receiver and defensive back.

What is your favorite football memory so far?

Getting our first win of the season was great. It was our first game, and my first game with the team. After going through some tough times it was great to come out on top. The atmosphere during the game was also great to see and we all just came together as a team. We were all really pumped up.

What are your plans for after high school ?

After high school, I plan on going to college but I’m still undecided as a mayor; perhaps following up with my parents and going into teaching. I will probably go into teaching physical education.

Who is your favorite teacher?

I would say my favorite teacher has been Mr. Barr. I like the way he teaches and the jokes he cracks. But for sure above all he is a great teacher.
