MCCLINTOCK HIGH SCHOOL

“CHARGING FORWARD WITH TRADITION” April 18, 2019 From the Principal’s Office

Charger Families: Springtime! Fourth quarter is quickly coming to an end. The closer we get to the end of the school year, the faster the time goes and the more there is to do! Remind your son/daughter how important it is to finish strong. Grades and school experiences are so much more rewarding when you work hard through the finish line! We ask that you continue to partner with us to promote positive behaviors, academic success and a respectful environment. Please talk to your son/daughter and encourage good choices that follow district and school policies. Seniors, your time at McClintock is coming to a close, and you will soon begin the next chapter of your life. Graduation is a wonderful celebration and a time to reflect on your four years at McClintock. As we move into these last couple of weeks, it’s important for all students to know that a senior prank is NOT a school approved activity/event. Any student who comes on McClintock’s campus during or after school hours to move and/or deface school property will be charged with trespassing and vandalism, and therefore, will not be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony on May 23rd. We want the end of the year and graduation to be a time of celebration and fun. Please don’t put yourself in a situation that jeopardizes your participation in the McClintock School graduation ceremony. The McClintock School administration is proud of you and we congratulate you in advance for exemplary behavior as we approach graduation. Respectfully, Mayra Arroyo
