Dear Bruin Community,

Welcome back (or welcome to) Capital High School! Please be sure to take time to review the list of activities, schedules, and expectations found on our website to help ensure your success this year!

As we continue to focus on ensuring that all students are both college and career ready, “Intervention Time” will once again be included in the Monday schedule. Similar to last year, Intervention Time will be approximately 45 minutes in length. During this period, teachers will meet with students to provide extra support, make-up opportunities, accommodations for specific needs, and extended learning. This time allows students the opportunity to make up items, such as that test that they missed due to the choir festival the previous Friday or to make up (and give teachers that time to set up) the science lab that they missed when being sick the previous week. As a parent, you know how difficult it can be to help students with their math homework or for them to find time to make up a test or to get extra time in the welding lab without being late for their job after their school day ends. As teachers continue to collaborate on Monday afternoons to create and implement a common scope and sequence for their respective curriculum, they can now split up the skills they will focus on for each intervention time as well. Please encourage your student to take advantage of Intervention Time!

I would like to stress the importance of students getting involved at Capital High. For those of you who have been involved in activities—keep it up! For those of you who have not participated in clubs/activities—make it a priority this year!

Besides a focus on academics and the importance of being involved, I would like to stress regular attendance as it is vital to success in not only courses for this year, but to assist in building skills that will be important in students’ futures. Students, be sure to make decisions this year that will prepare you for whatever options you pursue after high school. Take advantage of the opportunities found at Capital High School and have a fantastic school year.

As always, Go BRU!
