This will be short school week for students. There is no school both Thursday and Friday (October 10th and 11th). On Thursday teachers will be completing the 6-week progress reports. Those will be mailed home the week of October 14th. Friday is the Statewide Teacher Inservice Day. This is a non-contract day for teachers and it is an opportunity for teachers to attend inservice sessions around the state, however it is not a requirement. Parents should have received a letter in the mail last week that will allow them to view their students grades, attendance and transcripts. The new student information system we are using this year is called Synergy and as in the past there is a parent viewer aspect that allows parents to view grades etc. via the internet. If you have not received the information for logging in and accessing your students account please contact the high school office. We are continuing to experience significant issues regarding our mealtime program across the district. This program is the one that tracks student lunch accounts. It is an automated system that should allow parents to deposit money into their students lunch accounts for the purpose of buying lunch at school. Our technology department is working on fixing this system and hopefully it will be working properly this week. It was a pretty exciting finish to last Friday nights football game in Seaside. An interception of a Seaside pass with 3.4 seconds left in the game was returned for a Banks touchdown. Andrew Santa Maria was the Banks player who made the catch and scored resulting in a 20-14 win for Banks. It was an amazing finish to a game of two evenly matched teams. Banks remains undefeated and highly ranked with three more league games to go.
