Week 1 - Fall Semester 2022/22
Principal's message: (click here for welcome back message)

Welcome to the 2022/23 school year Coyotes! We have already started our year off on the right foot. We kicked off the first day with our annual Welcome Back Pep Rally. There were great performances by Cheer and Dance, who look to be in mid-season form. ASB decided to switch sides this year for the student body to give them a bit more shade, a nice respite on a very hot day, and it was good to see our student body back again at The Park. ASB also put together a great first Spirit week, where I saw Jerseys, Disney gear, Hawaiian shirts, and A LOT of Green...Go Coyotes!
We held our first Coyote 101 on Wednesday as we went over this years expectations, and discussed with the student body what it means to be a Coyote! Buena Park High School is a special place, where each and every student should be proud to attend. The key takeaways from the day were
1) High Expectations
2) Continue to develop the RISE Up Core Values of Respect, Integrity, Service, and Excellence
3) #Unplug to Connect
4) Dress in the appropriate attire for the setting
5) In Class--On Time--Everyday.
We are expecting a huge growth year for our students across the board as we experience the RISE of BP. It's a great time to be a Coyote!
New Traffic Pattern for Student Dismissal
We have been experiencing a higher than normal volume of vehicles in the afternoons during dismissal. Starting Monday, August 22, we are going to be instituting a new traffic pattern for student pick-up. Please see the diagram below. We are utilizing our large student parking lot to move more cars off the street and through a more fluid pattern. Cars will no longer be allowed to drive down the front staff parking area, nor wait in the cul-de-sac for pickup. The designated pick-up for students will occur in the parking lot, unless you have arranged with your students for another location. Thank you for your patience and we continue to try new ideas to streamline our dismissal traffic.
There's a good buzz around campus for tonight's Football game, hope to see you there supporting the PACK!

Have a great weekend Coyotes!

Athletics
Girls Volleyball
Congratulations Coyote Volleyball on an epic first win of the season. After dropping two sets to Anaheim HS, they stormed back, winning the next three in a row to win the match. JV Volleyball also beat AHS in three games. Great job girls!
Freshmen Football
Congratulations Freshman Football for picking up a big win today in their first game of the season. The boys held the opponent to two point the entire game with smothering defense, then picked up a long touchdown run to seal the victory. x
Associated Student Body (ASB)
ASB was up early Monday morning setting up to welcome all our Coyotes to the start of a brand new school year! The halls were decorated and dedicated to each class! They did an amazing job putting together a great First Day Assembly in the Football Stadium. The rest of the week was spent showing off school spirit. Students and Staff participated in Beach Day, Disney Day, Class Colors, Jersey Day, and BP Green Spirit Wear! Make sure to head to the football stadium for the green out football game tonight!

Seniors planning to apply to private colleges or out of state schools, please check the requirements to apply to the colleges you are interested in to find out if the SAT or ACT is required. Cal State Universities and University of California colleges do not use SAT or ACT scores in the admissions process but other schools may consider or require scores. Now is the time to register for those tests if you need scores. Registration is done online.

PSAT is coming October 12th for 10th and 11th grade students. PSAT scores are used for some scholarship programs and will give you a good idea of your SAT scores. All 10th and 11th graders planning to go to 4 year colleges are encouraged to take the PSAT.
Coyote Corner
"Support is just around the corner"
Buena Park High School values all student’s social-emotional health, and we have developed a center that houses resources to support students throughout the day. Students who need a safe place to cope with anxiety, stress or need someone to talk to can visit our COYOTE CORNER (Room 27) at the front of the school. The Corner is open before and after school, during lunch and breaks, by appointment with a therapist, or with a pass from a teacher or administrator. Please stop in and visit and know that "Support is just around the CORNER."

Students...do you know your SLOs
Student Learning Outcomes
The purpose of SLOs are to increased student awareness of their own learning

Explicitly-stated learning goals give students a way to think and talk about what they have learned. They make it easier for students to “know what they know” and give students a language to communicate what they know to others. Such awareness is considered central to learning that lasts.
Have a Great Week Coyotes!
