Dear Parents and Guardians,
Tomorrow, September 17, we will have our student body Mass celebrating the Spanish Marianist Martyrs who perished during the Spanish Revolution because of their faith. Students are reminded to wear their formal attire on this day. Dismissal will be at 1:40 pm.
It's been a big week, especially in the world of sports! Our football team is 3-0, senior runner Collin Murtagh set a school record, and the girls' golf team had their first match ever. Thank you for all of your support of our teams and their seasons.
Sincerely,
Riordan Administration

Parents, we need your feedback!
Riordan is beginning the process of creating a new strategic plan for the school. Strategic planning develops a shared vision and a common path among the stakeholders of an organization and produces a blueprint for how to achieve that vision.
Thank you to those who have already completed the survey. The feedback you provide is important, and we invite all parents to complete this survey by the end of the month.

SAT Testing for Seniors
The SAT is offering "School Day Testing" this year where you would be able to take the SAT at Riordan during a school day.
-
Riordan may offer this on Thursday, October 28 for seniors only who have not been able to sign up for a weekend test date because spaces are limited at other testing sites. If you have already secured test dates, please do not fill out the attached form.
- If you have not secured a weekend test date, and would still like to take the SAT, then this is for you. CSU's and UC's will not be looking at the test for your class and most schools outside of those are test optional. You will be missing classes on the 28th to take the test and will be responsible for any work that you miss.
-
If interested, Seniors should fill out this form by 3:00 pm on Monday, September 20. This is not binding, and you can change your mind, we just want to gauge the interest level before moving forward.

Wellness Corner
September 13-19 is Student Sleep Health Week, which begs the question: How is your teen's sleep?
Sleep hygiene is the practice of implementing and maintaining healthy sleep habits. Did you know that high schoolers need 8-10 hours of sleep per night, but that nearly 73% of students aren't getting enough sleep on school nights?
Routines like sticking to a consistent schedule for going to bed and getting up and turning off screens an hour or more before bedtime are some of the most helpful habits to maintain. For more ideas and to create your own sleep log, check out this tip sheet.
