PROM- URGENT

Spring & Prom Time High Intensity AVOID DUI Crackdown

Sobriety Checkpoints and DUI Saturation Patrols Planned

San Diego, CA – Law enforcement throughout the county will be combining resources and sending out a unified message this Prom Season. If you drive drunk, we will be looking for you. If you’re over the limit, you will be arrested. If you are underage and drinking before you get behind the wheel be prepared to have your night cut short.

The Avoid the 14 DUI task force will be staffing a DUI checkpoint in the City of San Diego this weekend and deploying additional DUI Saturation Patrols and checkpoints countywide targeting those who still don’t heed the message to designate a sober driver.

All too often, members of our community are senselessly injured or killed on local roadways by impaired drivers. This DUI checkpoint is an effort to reduce those tragedies. A major component of these checkpoints is to increase awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and to encourage sober designated drivers.

"DUI arrests can be embarrassing and expensive, but they're easy to prevent," said Officer McCullough. "If you're drinking, hand your keys over to a designated sober driver, or call a taxi or sober friend for a ride home. Don't risk an arrest ---or worse, a serious injury or even death."

Along with the impaired drivers, Avoid members at these checkpoints and saturation patrols will be looking for other violations that will impact all motorists, as this is the time of year we see an increase in the number of young adults on the road to their High School Proms. If you are, or have a young person attending a Prom this year, don’t forget California’s zero tolerance laws and make sure they have a safe and sober prom.

APPEALS-

Tomorrow is our 1st appeals process. If you plan on attending PROM you must file an appeal by the end of today.

APPEALS!! Want to go to PROM???

If you want to go to PROM and need to do an APPEAL, you MUST have your letter in to Mrs. Cordero by Monday, May 10th @ 3:00pm SHARP!!

All Appeals that have been turned in to Mrs. Cordero by May 10th will be reviewed and considered for those who want to attend PROM. Please plan on being interviewed by a panel of staff members regarding your appeal letter on Tuesday, May 11th starting at 1:00pm. You will be scheduled a time (10 minutes) to meet with the panel.

If you have ANY QUESTIONS, please see Mrs. Murphy in the office.

Thank you

Have you. . .

Have you thanked a Teacher yet?

Did you know that this week is Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week?

Many of you have spent over 13 years in school (K-12) and are very eager to get started with the next chapter of your lives. Take a few moments to think of a teacher or teachers that have directly impacted your life. Now is the time to thank them!

Many teachers work ABOVE and BEYOND the typical 7:30am- 2:30pm workday- for FREE! They do it because they care about YOU and want to see you succeed.

Think of all the teachers that have stayed late after school to help you; arrived early in the morning to let you use a computer; or spent their ENTIRE Saturday to make sure you earned Saturday School credit.

Write a note, draw a picture, or just tell them a simple Thank You! You'd be surprised at how much your kind words and appreciation will mean to them.

Another Survey

Here is another one.

Segregation and Racism

Student Surveys

Hey seniors! A few of your peers need your help for their exhibition, so when you have time please answer the following surveys. They are really short and should take you no longer than 5 minutes.
