Good evening High Desert Hawks and Families,

This month we are working on our AVID WICOR strategy for organization. Students will be learning to utilize their binders for organization. Please be sure that students have their binders with dividers in them each day and encourage them to show you their organized biner to support their organization goal this month.

One great way to support organization is to arrive to school on time by driving safely. You may have noticed the CHP car monitoring drivers on Friday after school. They are working hard to support a safe route to school including enforcing no U-turns in front of the school. Please be sure to use the bus loop to turn around and do not make u-turns in front of the school. We want to be sure that all of our students are safe in their route to school.
