2020-21 Student-Parent Handbook
|
All parents and students must read the Student-Parent Handbook and are required to sign an acknowledgement form that includes physical signatures of the parent and the student.
The articulation and implementation of the policies and procedures outlined in the Student-Parent Handbook ensure that we can provide a safe and orderly environment in which all students can do their best work. We ask that you read and discuss the guidelines that are outlined in the handbook with your son.
All students are required to successfully complete a handbook verification test by July 31. This link will also be emailed directly to your sons.
If your son is new to Serra, it is particularly important to review the Academic Honor Code, the Technology Acceptable Use Policy, the Cell Phone Policy, Dress Code, the Distance Learning Guidelines and other disciplinary regulations, as these policies might be significantly different from those of your son's previous school.
If your son is a returning student, please pay special attention to changes to the following policies: the Norms of Student Conduct and the Christian Service Requirement.
|
All parents are required to complete the summer forms by July 31. These forms verify contact information and give permission for your son to participate in various school events and activities.
Students will not be allowed to attend classes if these forms and permissions have not been submitted.
The required forms must be completed online through this specific link (which can also be found on the homepage of the PCR Parent Portal.
Please note: Only the parent who resides in the primary household needs to fill out this information.

Pre-participation Physical Forms
|
All freshmen, new transfer students and student-athletes must have a physical form on file with Serra prior to the 2020-21 school year.
Freshmen and transfer students who are not planning on participating in athletics must submit their completed Pre-participation Physical Evaluation form here.
Immunization records can be sent via email or faxed to 650.573.6638 by July 31.
Information for students who are planning on participating in athletics:
Athletes are required to upload their physical exam form to Athleticclearance.com. Please create an account and complete all the steps by July 31.
Please note: Physical exam forms must be signed and stamped by a licensed medical physician and can be uploaded to your online account or can be emailed to Athletic Director Justin Ferdinand. This process should be completed by July 31, 2020.
COVID-19/Shelter in Place: In order to address the impact that the COVID-19 virus and school closures have had on students, and in recognition that families may experience delays in obtaining appointments for their student for a Pre-participation Physical Examination, schools may provide a one-time, temporary waiver of Bylaw 503.G. that must be signed by the student athlete's parent/legal guardian and submitted to the high school administration before the student may tryout, practice or participate in interscholastic athletic competition. This waiver will allow the student athlete to participate in athletics for a maximum of thirty (30) calendar days from their school's first day of practice in that sport. This waiver only applies to Fall 2020 sports.

Transportation, Carpools and Parking

San Francisco Peninsula Bus Service, East Bay Shuttle and Carpools
Currently, plans are still being reviewed for transportation of students to and from school. We would still like to gather information; therefore, parents who wish for their sons to take the San Francisco Peninsula bus, Eastbay shuttle, or would like information about carpools, should submit the Transportation Form by July 31. Please be advised that information provided on the transportation form will be shared with other interested families.
Parking
There is a limited number of parking spots available on and around campus. Juniors and seniors may apply for a parking pass.
Click and complete the Parking Form, forward a copy of a valid driver's license and pay the applicable fee. All parking passes will be issued on the first day of school. Students who submit the application after July 31 will be placed on a waiting list.
For the safety of your son and for the good order of the neighborhood and school, please remind your son to slow down.

Each student is required to have his picture taken for use in the yearbook, school records and school ID card. There is no charge for the first student ID card. A replacement card is $5.
All students are expected to be in dress code on picture day. Please see the Student-Parent Handbook for appropriate dress code. There will be a dress code check, including hair and shave, upon arrival to school.
Picture day for all students will take place in the first several days of school. Information regarding pictures and the opening week schedule will be sent to families in late July.
In order to maintain safety and identify students, while wearing masks at school, please note that beginning the first day of school, students will be required to wear their student ID at all times.

Parents are a vital part of the Padre community. We invite all Serra parents to join one of our parents' clubs.
The Mothers' Club, Fathers' Club, Booster Club and TRISTARS (Tri-School Theater Arts Recognition and Support) contribute to special events throughout the school year. This is a great way for our parents to meet one another and learn about current events, volunteer opportunities and campus activities.
|
All parents are encouraged to participate in their sons' education at Serra. One way to become involved is to volunteer at various events, such as moderating a club, working backstage on a production, joining a field trip, working the snack bar, or helping out at an athletics event.
If you are interested in volunteering, please complete our Volunteer Form.
|
Becoming a member of the Serra Booster Club is a great way to meet other parents and to support your son during his time at Serra.
The Booster Club supports our athletics program through various events and by providing snack bars at athletics events.
|
As we finalize the academic schedule, we will update the calendar and share with you the opening week schedules, times and updated calendar links in late July.
Opening Week Please review the schedule outline for the first two weeks of school. You will receive updated and detailed information in the upcoming weeks.
Athletics Between late July and early August, we will have more information regarding Athletics from the California Interscholastic Federation as well as our league (WCAL) and our section (CCS). At that time, we will update you on meetings, sign-ups and other pertinent information.
