Did you know students ages 16 and up can pre-register to vote?

Did you know students ages 16 and up can pre-register to vote? This week was California's High School Voter Education Week. Today we had all students go to the voter registration sight and learn how to register to vote! Some students have more steps to complete. Here is a proud newly pre-registered voter with his reciept.

To register in California you must:

-be a United States citizen

-be a resident of California

-be at least 18 years old or older on Election Day

-not be currently serving a state or federal prison term for the conviction of a felony

-not be currently found to be mentally incompetent to vote by a court

Constitution Day!

Friday, September 16th was a busy day! We celebrated Constitution day with Constitution Bingo and things were competitive! Students wanted to keep playing for 3rd, 4th, 5th...prize. It was rewarding to see students enthusiastically shouting out the answers to the trivia questions. Students learned about the Constitution for 2 weeks through the daily announcements and in Mr. Chavez's law class. They came to lunch prepared with notes and websites to look up as they figured out the clues. We also honored Hispanic Heritage Month with great classic banda music during lunch. Last but definitely not least, we had another great visit with Ventura College and their financial aid representative. We have 60 seniors this quarter and they are all eager to ask questions about financial aid and college life. Our students are getting excited for their futures!

Hard Working Students

We have hard working students here at Sierra who step up to assist wherever they are needed! We have students who serve lunches, support teachers, and serve as office assistants. We train our students to be great at customer service, being responsible, and managing their time. Our students are fortunate to be out of school at 1:25 pm each day and many are employed around the community. We are very proud of our Warriors! If you have a business looking for employees our students come highly recommended!
