College Admission Exam Requirements |
COVID-19 has impacted many aspects of education and there have been significant changes announced to 4-year college admission exam requirements (SAT/ACT). The Sonora Guidance Department strives to ensure that students and families are fully informed and have the most recent information available to them. The California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC) will permanently remove SAT and ACT standardized test requirements from their undergraduate admission process to equitably assess prospective students.
-
The University of California (UC) system of schools will NOT consider SAT or ACT test scores when making admissions decisions or awarding scholarships. UC Exam Information
-
The California State University (CSU) system of schools will NOT consider SAT or ACT test scores when making admissions decisions CSU Exam Information
- For private colleges/universities and out-of-state public schools, please check the school’s website to verify, as most schools have moved to a testing optional policy.
-
NCAA Division I and II Testing Requirements - The NCAA Division I and II SAT/ACT testing requirement COVID waiver will expire with the current Senior class. The SAT/ACT testing requirement will resume for all classes starting with the current Juniors (class of 2023). However, the NCAA may follow the direction of the UC and CSU systems as the NCAA Test Score Task Force backs the removal of the SAT/ACT testing requirement. Stay tuned for updates.

At this time, teachers provided names of Seniors at Risk of not passing a course. This "hold list" is used to closely monitor and communicate with students and families about progress and remaining graduation requirements. Sonora uses the Third Quarter grades to create the student “hold list”. Students are placed “on hold” for a course if the student received a D, F, *or* the teacher commented, "in danger of failing". Counselors will use this information to send emails and correspondence over the next six weeks. Please login to your Aeries portal to view the most up-to-date grades. Please use our Academic Supports listed below to help improve your grade(s). |
2022-23 Course Request Review |
Sonora Students, Parents, and Guardians can log into their Aeries portals to view student course requests for the 2022-23 school year. These are REQUEST ONLY and there may be changes based on course availability, especially in the elective areas. Please be advised that these are not listed in a specific period order, but simply a list of requested courses. To locate this information, login to Aeries, select 'Classes', then select 'Course Request'. This information may not be visible in the Aeries APP, therefore, it is imperative to log in directly to Aeries through your preferred web browser. If there is an error, or a student is missing a requested course, please have them email their counselor directly as soon as possible, or, students may stop by the guidance office during break, lunch, after, or before school. The window to view student course requests will only be available in Aeries for two weeks from April 1st - to April 14th. After this, students may meet with a counselor during ‘Business Days’ to discuss scheduling concerns.

The 2021/22 school year is off to a great start with students and staff members excited to see each other, reconnect with a more normal routine, and celebrate together at Sonora.
That being said, we also understand there continues to be an increased need for mental health services due to continued concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, re-acclimating to the school environment, and other events happening throughout the country and world.
FJUHSD recognizes that these world dynamics may bring up uncomfortable emotions, questions, concerns, or directly impact their personal environments. If you or your student are experiencing difficulties affecting your wellness, please note that FJUHSD has partnered with Care Solace for this exact reason.
Care Solace is committed to helping our students, families, and staff connect with mental health services in the community. They are experts at navigating the mental health systems so that you can access support quicker and easier. Please consider contacting Care Solace if you or your loved ones are in need of support.
If your student’s performance is being impacted by these world dynamics, we have a document on our district website that outlines How To Access School-Based Mental Health Services at Sonora High. Please review the information and consider if this may be of benefit to you.
Lastly, our district's main webpage has a Mental Health tab for your reference. The tab has our Virtual Calming Room where anyone can have access to healthy coping skills and mental health resources for both students and parents.
As we continue to work with our students and families transitioning back to campus, we wanted to remind you that FJUHSD is committed to supporting our students and staff holistically.
Thank you for taking the time to read this important message, and for ensuring every member of the FJUHSD community feels supported and cared for during these unprecedented times.
