Schurr Announcements

SCHURR Expectation of the Month: Courageous"

““The ultimate measure of a person is not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but where they stand at times of challenge and controversy."

-Martin Luther King, Jr.


Attendance Rate: Our latest attendance rate was 94.3%. Thank you to all staff and students for your supportive, uplifting spirit getting students to attend school. Let's work hard to keep our attendance rate above 95%. Please greet students with your uplifting Spartan Spirit and engaging 4Cs learning environments. Remind them that they are loved at Schurr. Thank you for your support.


    Counselors' Week: Please join us in celebrating Schurr's courageous counselors who collaborate work so hard to create an uplifting counseling department that supports and guides students through their high school journey. Thank you Alma Aguilar, Bea DelaRosa, Baltazar Mejia, Denise Quan, Alma Quintero, and Lilia Rosas for all you do to create a safe, positive learning culture.


    Expectations Assemblies: We will have our final Semester 2 Expectations Assemblies this week, for 9th Grade on Tuesday, Feb. 4th . Thank you for your cooperation and collaborative support.


    Extended 4th Flexibility: During our Data Leadership Team in December, a suggestion was made to use Extended 4th for a variety of incentives: 95% attendance or higher, LCAP completion, FAFSA completion, to name a few. It is encouraging that our initiative is having such a powerful impact that we can start to use this initiative to support multiple initiatives.


    Official MUSD Response to Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE): Please see MUSD's Official Response to Immigration, Customs and Enforcement (ICE), MUSD's Administrative Regulations, and a Link to Resources provided by MUSD. Please use these resources to continue creating a safe, positive learning culture at Schurr and in our community:


    Phone Confiscation: Please inform students that we are confiscating phones from students if they are out of class during instructional time using their phones. This will be inclusive of students who are part of a "tardy sweep." Additionally, any student who has an Ed. Code 48900 violation, which requires a suspension, will lose cell phone privileges for a period of time. We will share this information during our Expectations Assemblies this week. Thank you for your support.

    Critical Thinkers

    Critical Thinkers from USB created an uplifting Spirit Week for Winter Homecoming. They collaboratively coordinated daily events culminating with a celebration of our homecoming court.

    Collaborators/ Communicators

    Schurr USB collaborated and communicated with drill, cheer, band, and multiple clubs to create a safe, positive experience for all students all week. We appreciate everyone coming together to collaborate and create memorable moments at Schurr.

    Creators
