PARENT CORNER

The SMHS Parent Party is a tradition that brings parents together for an evening of fun, food and entertainment (and maybe a little fundraising J).   We hope you have received your invitations and will be returning them soon.  The party is set for Saturday, September 25, on top of the magnificent AT&T Center overlooking downtown Los Angeles.  For more information, please contact Yvonne Zaro (yzaro@earthlink.net) or Adrienne Kreindler (akreindler@socal.rr.com).



STUDENT CORNER                 

Please check the list posted on the APO window to see if you got a parking permit to park on campus.  If your name is on the list,  bring your ID to pick up your permit.  Permit parking will be strictly enforced starting Monday, 9/6.  Make sure your permit is visible on the lower front passenger side windshield.   If it is not, you may get a ticket.  Park only in white spots and obey the 5 mile speed limit.  If not, your off campus privilege or parking permit make be revoked.  Drive Safely!

Your last chance to pick up items emptied out of locker numbers 967 -1046 is TOMORROW, Friday, in the nurse's office.  Unclaimed items will be donated. 

REMINDER: As stated in the Titan Guide on page 17, cell phones are not permitted to be used except at lunch or break.  Passing periods between classes and trips to the bathroom are not part of the permissible time.  Cell phones are absolutely not to be visible in class.   Accordingly, if a cell phone is even visible in class, it will be confiscated by the teacher and given to Mr. Mooney, where both you and your parent will need to pickup the phone.  Repeated  infractions will affect a student's citizenship grade average and may affect a student's ability to have the item on campus.

If you miss any bulletin announcements, you may read the SMHS Bulletin posted at any bulletin board throughout the campus or the window at the APO. If you wish to sign up to automatically get the bulletin as an email, go to sanmarinohs.org and click on "Join The School News List" right under the Titan logo.

Reminder:  Students must have a pass in order to be out of the classroom.

Reminder to all students! As stated in the Titan Guide on page 14, "Students are REQUIRED to have an SMHS ID card in their possession whenever attending school or at any school sponsored events." In the event of a real emergency, those with ER on their ID allows them to leave immediately without having to wait for their parent to check them out.  Replacement IDs are available in the APO for $5.

ATTENTION ALL SENIORS:  Make up appointments for senior portraits are this Thursday, 9/2, during lunch.  If you haven't already done so, call Kevin Michael at 626.794.6600  to confirm your time.

All student accounts are activated and operational! The new way to login is by using your student ID and your Student Portal Password that was printed on your class schedule.  You will not be able to change your password and remember never to share your login information.



COUNSELING DEPARTMENT

Important information for seniors!  Just a few reminders about logging on to your Naviance account.  If this is your first time logging on, make sure you put your SMHS ID# in the "e-mail" box (not your actual email address) and your Powerschool password in the "password" box.  Naviance is case sensitive, unlike the Powerschool student portal, so be sure to use all capital letters.  Also, please complete your "Brag Sheet" online prior to senior meetings.  Click on the "About Me" tab, then you will see the "SMHS Brag Sheet" in the left column.
