Arroyo Seco Junior High School “We lead, others follow”
Seco Gram_______________________________________________________________________
From the Principal:
Welcome to a new school year at Arroyo Seco! We opened our doors on August 11th to
1260 students – all receiving their schedules from counselors and parent volunteers. By 7:45 am
all students were in class. Our teachers, counselors, support staff and custodians worked very
hard during the days prior to ensure a smooth opening day for Seco students.
Challenging and engaging learning experiences were immediately evident as students met
their team, elective and physical education teachers. Every student received an orientation by
either Mr. Cliff Miller or Dr. Catherine Nicholas, Assistant Principals, within the first two days of
school. Our counselors Ms. Sue Dielentheis, Mrs. Jo Ann Ward and Mr. Jesse Marshall have
been meeting with team teachers to ensure all students get the support they need to be successful.
Before school started, Seco teachers spent two days participating in professional staff
development. We continue to make writing across the curriculum a priority. Our staff has spent
many hours thinking and working together to develop our school-wide goals for academic
achievement. Many teachers attended professional development training over the summer at the
District’s Summer Institute. All teachers participated in training of the Common Core standards,
Differentiation and Instructional Technology during the days before students arrived.
Many of our staff members have been trained in the “Capturing Kid’s Heart’s” model.
The overarching theme of this training is “If you have a kid’s heart, you will have their mind”. A
Culture of Caring is evident on our campus. As I walk around our school, I see teachers greeting
students at the door, shaking hands, and calling students by name. I see campus supervisors and
support staff helping students with a multitude of needs. I see smiling students enjoying their
junior high school experience. I hope you will feel the warm and wonderful vibe when you visit
our Back To School Night, next Thursday evening, September 1st, beginning at 6 PM. Come hear
the Advanced Band perform in the quad prior to classroom visitations.
Plan on attending our Parent Advisory Council meetings. Our PAC Board has planned
several informative and relevant speakers. Our first meeting will be on September 19th at 12 noon.
Our special guests will be Hart District teacher specialists Mr. Ron Ippolito and Mr. Von Hougo
and Deputy Kevin Duxbury presenting the dangers and complexities of Social Media as it
impacts our teens.
Please consider supporting our new, exciting and different Fundraiser this year call Seco
Games. All students will be involved in one full day of fun and competition for our teams. We’ll
be scrapping the idea of students selling products and trying a straight direct donation drive.
You’ll be hearing many more details in the upcoming weeks.
I want to thank all parents for your support and encouragement. I especially appreciate all
of our parent volunteers who frequently come and help us out. Together we can make a difference
in the lives of the young people who add value to our homes, our school, our community, and the
world.
Rhondi Durand, Principal Issue Number 1 August, September, October 2016
Counselor’s Corner
Welcome Parents to a new school year!
We are here to help your student and you navigate through the ups and downs of junior
high. For many of you, this is the first experience you have had working with a
counselor! We are here to help. Your child's counselor is affiliated with his or her team
assignment:
Mrs. Ward – Extreme, Fusion and Odyssey
Mr. Marshall – Genesis, Revolution and Triumph
Ms. Dielentheis – Aloha, Viper and Special Education
One of the many questions parents have is how our credit system works. Each class your
child takes each quarter is worth 2.5 credits. Students earn credits for grades of A, B, C
or D. Failing grades do not earn credits. Fifteen credits are available each quarter and 60
credits are available each year totaling 120 possible credits. A student is required to earn
107.5 credits by the end of 8th grade to officially promote to high school and participate
in the end of the year activities. Students struggling to earn credits can attend summer
school for 10 credits. Intervention classes may also be available.
Another question frequently asked is how does 8th grade performance affect high school
placement. Eighth grade is a pivotal year and it is extremely important that students do
their best. Students are placed in classes based on classroom performance, grades and
teacher recommendation. Honors classes are available in English, Math and Science.
For English, the majority of students are placed in English 9. Honors English is available
for students earning A’s and completing the letter of intent. Math 8 students will
complete their algebra studies in ninth grade. Students earning A’s in Math 8, will be
placed in Honors Algebra. All other students will be placed in Algebra. Current Algebra
1A/1B students earning A’s will go to Honors Geometry, students earning B’s or C’s go
to Geometry. Repeating Algebra is recommended for those who struggled with the
course. Science placement is based on performance, teacher recommendation and
English and math placements.
We are looking forward to working with you and your child!

From the Attendance Office Now that school is in full swing the Attendance Office would like to remind
all our parents and guardians of a few things that will assist everyone in
ensuring that your child is able to maximize their learning time here at
Arroyo Seco.
1) The easiest ways to excuse absences are with a quick phone call to the
school or a note brought to the Attendance Office.
2) If you send a note to school with your child to excuse an absence or
authorize an early dismissal for a doctor/dental appointment please have
your child take that note to the Attendance Office, NOT a team teacher.
3) No parents or guardians should be meeting their child during nutrition,
lunch, or between classes without having first checked in with the
Attendance Office and obtaining a visitor’s pass.
4) After two (2) weeks, “Unverified” absences will become “Unexcused”
absences and may cause your child to be assigned consequences at school.
Phoning the Attendance Office or sending in a note with your child can
easily clear these absences.
5) Remember that school starts at 7:45 AM. Please help us ensure that your
child gets to school on time and is ready to learn!
6) Our automated telephone system will call you if your child has missed
two (2) or more classes and has been marked “Unverified”. Please feel free
to call the Attendance Office if you receive a phone call that you believe is
an error. We would be more than happy to assist you clear up any
confusion.
If you have any questions concerning your son’s or daughter’s attendance or
need clarification on any of our attendance policies, please call our
attendance technician, June Higgins at 661-296-0991 x1. She is always
happy to assist you!
Health Office Procedures
When a child becomes ill at school, he/she will receive every care and
consideration. A Parent/Guardian will be contacted. With so many students and
little space in the health office we ask for your full cooperation in picking up a
sick child in a reasonable amount of time. We do not have the accommodations for
a child to sit in the health office for an extended period of time, and generally
he/she will need to return to class after approximately 15 minutes. If, however,
a student is deemed quite ill, he/she needs to be picked up as soon as possible. If a
parent/guardian cannot pick up the child, and an emergency contact cannot be
reached, the parent/guardian will need to make arrangements with a relative or
friend, and convey this information to the Health Technician. It is our goal to
maintain the health and safety of every child.
The following guidelines were written as an indicator for a need to send a
student home, or for a student to be kept at home:
Fever: A temperature greater than 100 degrees. Student should be fever free
without medication for 24 hours before return to school.
Upper Respiratory Infection: The student with a cold/cough who show
symptoms of fever, tiredness, irritability, not eating well, or signs of
earache, sore throat, thick, yellowish or green nasal discharge need to be at
home.
Undiagnosed skin conditions that may be contagious.
Diarrhea: Students with watery diarrhea or frequent loose stools.
Nausea/vomiting.
Seizures lasting 3 minutes or longer without intervention and/or are
different than usual.
Communicable Diseases
If a student is suspected of being infected with a communicable disease, (e.g. pink
eye, chickenpox, head lice), a parent/guardian will be notified to pick up their
student from school. If a physician diagnoses your student with a communicable
disease, Arroyo Seco Junior High must be notified immediately.
Medication: Prescribed, and Over the Counter (OTC)
If a student is required to take Prescription Medication or Over the Counter
medications during school hours, a Request for Medication to be Taken at
School form, must be completed by a Physician, and signed by a Parent/Guardian.
Prescribed medication includes over-the-counter and homeopathic medications as
well as vitamins. Only certain prescribed medications may be carried and/or self-
administered by the student. These medications include: auto-injectable
epinephrine, asthma inhalers, and insulin. This form is available on the District
website or from the school Health Office.
The “Request for Medication to be Taken at School” form must accompany the
medication, in its original container, clearly labeled with the student’s full name,
physician’s name and phone number, name of the medication, dosage, schedule,
and date of expiration. Over the Counter medications, such as Tylenol, Advil,
etc., are included in these guidelines as well. It is the Parent/Guardian’s
responsibility to keep track of the dose count and expiration dates, as well as
inform the Health Office Technician of any medication changes. Any student
found with medication at school without the appropriate forms on file in the health
office, will have their medication confiscated, and will be released to a
parent/guardian only.
Physical Education Excuse
All PE Notes MUST be turned into the HEALTH OFFICE as soon as
the student arrives at school. PE notes SHOULD NOT be taken to the PE
teachers/coaches, they MUST be given to the Health Technician.
A parent may write a note excusing a student from PE for one to three
consecutive healing days maximum. If a student is not able to participate
in PE in excess of three consecutive healing days, a note from a physician
is mandatory, showing the duration of time the student cannot participate
in PE. If a student can participate in modified PE, (e.g. walking vs.
running, no upper body, etc.), a note from a physician is mandatory and
must state the duration of the modification.
The use of durable medical equipment for student transport such as
wheelchairs, crutches or scooters, as well as medically necessary cast boots,
braces, etc., during school hours, must be accompanied by a physician’s
note stating the reason and duration of use on school grounds.
Please contact the school Health Office for any questions or concerns you may
have. Thank you for your help in keeping our students healthy!
From the Office
Messages and Deliveries
As stated in the beginning of the school year packet, and the Arroyo Seco
Binder Reminder, the office cannot handle all the requests we receive to
deliver messages to students. Please understand that instructional time will
not be disrupted to deliver messages, lunch money, lunches, PE clothes,
forgotten homework, etc. Fast food and pizza “drop offs” for your child is
discouraged. Fast food and pizza “drop offs” IS NOT permitted for
anyone other than your own child. If it is absolutely necessary for a
student to pick up a delivered item or receive a message, your student will be
summonsed during nutrition, lunch or after school. We do not mean to
sound uncaring, but important lessons on responsibility can be learned by
the child if the parent does not deliver these items to school.
Off-Campus Policy
Arroyo Seco is a closed campus. This means that students may not leave the
campus during the school day without an off-campus pass issued upon the
written request of a parent or guardian. Students are to bring notes to the
Attendance Office (not the teacher) before school, between classes, at
nutrition or lunch to secure off-campus passes. If a note is not sent with the
child, a parent or guardian will need to come into the office with a photo I.D.
to sign their child out of school. Also, because of the time frame and the
disruption caused by late arrivals, we do not encourage parents to take
students off-campus for lunch.
Visitor Passes
All visitors on campus between the hours of 7:00 am and 4:00 pm must
obtain a visitor’s pass from the main office. Please do not go directly to a
classroom before or after school. Check in at the office first. The office
staff will call the teacher to announce your arrival and to see if they are
available. Meetings, study clubs, and other activities are often planned
directly after school.
Congratulations – Teacher of the Year - 2016-2017

Dear Parents and Guests, The staff at Arroyo Seco Jr. High School joins me in extending a warm and sincere welcome to Back-to-School Night to all our parents and guests. You will have an opportunity to meet teachers, learn about our Blue Ribbon school, class requirements, goals and objectives, and get an overall picture of the educational program of which your youngster is a part.

Some teams may have a special schedule or meeting place. Please check with your son or daughter about the locations noted on this flyer in the space provided for his or her schedule. Due to the organization of the evening's events, there is not enough time for teachers to meet personally with parents to discuss individual progress. You may, however, request a teacher or team conference on the sheets provided in each classroom. Also, please make arrangements for the care of your children as this event is for the parents.
Sincerely, Mrs. Rhondi Durand Mr. Cliff Miller Dr. Catherine Nicholas

Parent Advisory Council
2016/2017 Membership
The Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is the school-wide parent booster organization that
serves the entire community of students, parents and staff of Arroyo Seco Junior High
School. Our goals are to increase communication, support the learning environment,
helping with basic needs of our disadvantaged students, and provide an opportunity for
all parents to participate in the ASJHS community.
Membership dues are payable at the time of registration or at any meeting. You are your
PAC’s only source of revenue which supports the following programs:
Eighth Grade PAC Scholarship Awards
Scholarships up to $500 are awarded through an application and scoring process.
Student Incentive Programs
Fundraising and Donation Campaigns
For our families in need and the SCV Food Pantry before Thanksgiving.
PAC Luncheons
Features guest speakers discussing topics that impact you and your child, at school and in
the community.
School and Student Appreciation Programs
Eyes and Ears
This is a program developed to bring parents on campus during nutrition and lunch.
Parents walk the campus during these breaks and simply observe, reporting any unusual
behavior to campus supervisors. Since implementing this program students have
mentioned they feel safer. Simply having more visible adults, acts as a deterrent to
inappropriate behavior. For the parents it can be quite an eye-opening experience,
campus life has changed quite a bit since we were that age.
Every parent is a member of PAC, but we rely on your membership donations, we
suggest a $10.00 donation per family. This year, we already have approximately
$4,000.00 to support the programs listed here. If you didn’t get the chance to donate at
registration, and you are interested in doing so, you can place your donation in an
envelope, label it “PAC” and turn it in to Kathie Loughlin, our ASB secretary.

Welcome back to school! I’m usually very excited to kick
off the school year each August (my seventh at Arroyo
Seco!), but this year I will be out on maternity leave for a
few months. My substitute, Ronald Fulleman, is more
than capable and I’m grateful for his presence.
I’ve included some helpful handouts containing
passwords to the useful databases and many other
programs we use at school. There is also information
about apps that may be helpful to you and your child.
Our big Library events that take place throughout the year
are the Box Tops drive, Book Fair, and textbook returns.
The Book Fair will take place in April this year, during
the week of Open House. I am also participating in the
Ralph’s Community Contribution Program. It would be
greatly appreciated if you would enroll your Ralph’s card
and designate Arroyo Seco as the beneficiary.
Instructions are on the following pages.
I am going to be running a long term program “Read
Your Way Around the World”, but we won’t dive in until
my return later in the fall. Students can get a head start by
reading either fiction or nonfiction books that take place
or teach them about other places (they must be “real”).
I’m eager to see how many books our students can read,
and hopefully expand their horizons as they explore
different genres and places.
Feel free to contact me at sgoodwin@hartdistrict.org if I
can be of any assistance. I will check email occasionally.
If you need immediate assistance please contact Ron
rfulleman@hartdistrict.org or the Library Technician, Pat
Barrett, at pbarrett@hartdistrict.org.
Happy reading!
Sarah Goodwin, Teacher Librarian
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
Last year we raised $860.40 through Box Tops for
Education. This year’s goal is $1,000! Box Tops are
accepted year round. A competition will take place later
this year between teams to see who can bring in the most
Box Tops and monetary donations, but donations are
accepted all year.
