SPECIAL NOTICE TO JUNIORS!

Hello Juniors! Did you purchase the official PSAT/NMSQT (October 15, 2022) during Summer Registration? If you did, a Study Guide is waiting for you up in the Guidance Office.

Go Brahmas!

National Merit Scholarship Program

Last week, I received notification from the CollegeBoard that 34 Brahmas were recognized for their academic achievement on the PSAT. In the United States, more than two-thirds (about 34,000) of the approximately 50,000 high scorers on the PSAT/NMSQT receive Letters of Commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise. Commended Students are named based on a nationally applied Selection Index score that may vary from year to year and is typically below the level required for participants to be named Semifinalists in their respective states. Although Commended Students do not continue in the competition for National Merit Scholarships, some of these students do become candidates for Special Scholarships sponsored by corporations and businesses.

Congratulations to our Commended Students:

MIA AVILA, MAX J BUCHANAN, NATHAN W CHU, MARCUS J FANG, PEIJIE GUO, JOHN HAN,

JOANNA L JIN, BRANDON J KIM, KATIE KIM, ALEXANDER C KUO, JOCELYN KUO, CALEB J LEE,

DEREK C LEE, RACHEL C LEE, ALINAH M LIU, JACKSON LIU, LUCY LIU, HEATHER Y MA, LARRY MEI, CHERISH K NORITAKE, DEESHA A PATHAK, NICOLE H PHAM, TIMOTHY M RO, KATHERINE SHA, ASHLEY M SHIN, CLARA H TAE, ANQI TANG, JOSEPH A WANGSA, KALEY WONG, KELSEY WU, BRIAN YOUNG, ALLISON YUH, and ZIXUAN ZHUANG!

Go Brahmas!

Walnut Valley Unified School District has moved to ParentSquare!

We are excited to let you know that starting the 2022-2023 school year, ParentSquare will be replacing Blackboard Connect as the new district-wide communication platform. ParentSquare, will allow Diamond Bar High to unify all parent communication from the district, schools, classrooms, and school activity groups under one umbrella.

With ParentSquare you’ll be able to

• Receive all school and classroom communication via email, text or app
• View and download photos
• View the school and available classroom calendars

It is our hope that WVUSD's partnership with ParentSquare will enable a stronger dialogue between school & home. We also hope it will help empower everyone within the school community to stay connected and informed.

While ParentSquare can send messages through both email and text messages, we believe the best experience will be through the phone/tablet app which you can download by the links below.

Dear Brahma Students and Parent/Guardians,

Out of an abundance of caution and to communicate important safety updates to our community, listed below are informational resources to empower parent-child conversations regarding the effects of accidental overdose of Fentanyl. Please refer to the following links to learn more about Fentanyl and to guide conversations about staying safe and making good decisions.

• Los Angeles County Sheriff Department: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram
• NIDA, as part of the National Institutes of Health, offers a wide variety of free publications, education materials, and videos to help parents talk to their children about drug use: National Institute on Drug Abuse
• The Drug Enforcement Administration has issued a Public Safety Alert warning Americans of the alarming increase in the lethality and availability of fake prescription pills containing fentanyl and methamphetamine: Drug Enforcement Administration

We ask that all students who see something say something. Safety and access to a trusted adult is a priority for us. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our students safe. Please call the Guidance Office at (909) 584-1405 if you have any questions.

Take Care,

Reuben Jones, Ed. D
