Open House
"You Belong Here"

|
Thank you so much for your support for our Open House last night. First, thank you to Mike Lee from our administrative staff who helped in the coordination/formalizing of our evening for us. He and Kelly took the idea and ran with it creating the experience that we had last night. Thank you to our student body under the leadership of Kelly who did a phenomenal job leading us through the evening. Our ASB student leaders/MCs (Joselyn, Olvia, Grace, and Mia) created a welcoming atmosphere. Thank you to Jen Galvan for the coordination of Dance/Drill/Cheer. Our teachers did a great job by being there with our students and really showing our community what it is like to be a family and having the level of excellence that can only come from Sonora High School. People left with smiles on their faces and a sense of belonging because of the efforts of our students and staff. #beholdblueandgold

Meet our New Campus Supervisor | |
It is my pleasure to introduce you to Andrea Munoz, our new Campus Supervisor! Andrea earned her B.A. in Spanish from Cal State Fullerton, and she is currently working on her M.A. in Spanish at CSUF. Her goal is to work as an interpreter, likely at a school district. In her down time, she enjoys crocheting and baking...especially snickerdoodles with cream cheese frosting!
Please welcome her when you see her around campus.

In the interest of safety and efficiency, please adhere to the SOHS Drop-Off/Pick-Up Zone routes identified in the image below. The specified ingress and egress routes have been developed to ensure the safety of our students and all drivers during the busy morning and afternoon drop-off and pick-up times.
Please note that there is no stopping or parking on S. Palm Street, nor is there any drop-off or pick-up traffic permitted in the staff parking lot. Lastly, we want to be courteous and respectful to our neighbors, so we ask that you not use their facilities as a drop-off or pick-up locations.
Thank you in advance for your efforts in creating a safer experience for all of our Raiders.

The purpose of the Student Handbook is to give students and parents/guardians an understanding of the general rules and guidelines for attending and receiving an education in our school. Students and parents/guardians should be aware that this document is reviewed annually since policy and procedure adoption is an ongoing process. The most recently adopted policy or procedure will always prevail. The handbook may be amended at any time and those changes will be communicated by the administration to the staff, students, and parents/guardians.
The following represents our expectations of all students:
- No student has the right to interfere with the education of his/her fellow students. Respect the rights of other students.
- Express your ideas in a respectful manner, so as not to offend or slander others.
- Be aware of all rules and standards and conduct yourself accordingly.
- Maintain dress and grooming appropriate for the school setting and in accordance with school policy at all times.
- Assist staff in creating a safe school for all students.
- Be aware of and comply with state and local laws.
- Exercise proper care when using facilities and equipment.
- Attend school daily and be on time for all classes and activities.
- Make necessary arrangements for making up work when absent from school.
- Attempt to complete all courses satisfactorily.
- Assume financial responsibility for any and all damages to facilities, equipment, and personal property.
| Any questions or concerns about our Student Handbook, please feel free to contact Mr. Lee at mlee@fjuhsd.org. | |  |

Thank you to everyone for reporting your attendance, especially this first week back. This is a reminder that prompt and daily school attendance has a direct bearing on academic success. Students are expected to be on time and attend all classes. Parents are expected to ensure that students attend school and are on time for school each day. If your child is going to be late, absent, or leaving early, let us know as soon as possible by phone, note, or in person. Absences must be cleared within 3 days or they become truancies and cannot be excused. Both parents and students need to check attendance on Aeries frequently. Contact the office if you need help accessing Aeries.
- Absences that have not been cleared within three (3) days = Truancy.
- Tardies beyond thirty (30) minutes = Absence.
- Leaving campus without an Off-Campus Transfer Slip, including during break and passing periods = Truancy (Check-in and check-out with the Attendance Office. No exceptions.)
- Once a student is excused for five days in a row due to illness, a doctor’s note must be obtained for excusal on the fifth day. Any absences of more than 5 days in a row require a doctor’s note for the absence to still be considered excused.
- If your child will be absent more than 3 days in a row, contact the attendance office directly.
- Excessive tardies and truancies will result in an intervention.
- Students need a valid reason for being late to school or absent. Traffic, oversleeping, alarm malfunction, studying for exams, family vacations, and personal matters are not valid reasons. See the complete list of valid reasons for being late and absent on the Sonora High School Attendance Procedures page.
- To report an absence, tardy or early release, a parent/guardian must provide the student’s full name, date of absence/tardy/leaving early, reason, and parent/guardian name and phone number.
The Assistant Principal of Student Services, Jina Jackson, is available for consultation regarding attendance concerns and issues.
