Beware Proprietary Schools

2008-11-25T09:29:00.000-08:00

Graduates and soon to be graduates should all be wary of
what we cal proprietary schools. These are privately owned
operations that advertise extensively on TV for a variety of
career such as criminal justice, dental/medical assistant, and
a host of others. They literally bomb the airwaves especially
during the day with promises of a career, job, training. DO
NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM! These schools are not accredited
by WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) have
non credentialed teachers, AND will charge you a LOT of money.
I had a young lady who graduated from HHS and went to one of
these schools for Art and is now $40,000 in debt! All she has
is an AA (Associate of Arts) degree which she could gotten at
LACC for almost nothing. Any area of career training that you
might desire is available at very low cost to graduate adults
through the LAUSD's Division of Adult, $Career Education, or the local
community college district. If you ever have any question about
any college or career training program, call Ms. Campbell or
myself first, and above all, never give out a credit card number
or sign anything!

Senior Lunch Pass

2008-11-14T14:17:00.000-08:00

As of today, only 3 seniors have received the coveted
Senior Lunch Pass. This is absolutely amazing considering
how many seniors were eligible in past years. The reason?
The CST! Last year's scores are being used to determine
eligibility NOW. So, word to you juniors: you must do well
on the CST this year so you can be in the mix next year if
you want to eat lunch off campus. We are looking at the
CST scores for English and Math. Any grade of BB (below
basic) or FBB (far below basic) will make you ineligible.
There have been straight A students who for one reason
or another scored poorly who have been rejected for the
lunch pass. The tendency for some students to "blow off"
the test because it "doesn't count" can surely lead to
disaster. Don't be fooled. Do your best on the test and
enjoy the privilege of lunch off campus.

Senior and Junior Lunch Passes

2008-10-31T14:20:00.000-07:00

Senior and Junior lunch pass applications are available in room 404.
You must pay your senior dues of $140 and get a parent signature
on the application. You also cannot have 10 or more absences from
last school year, failure on the CAHSEE, either in English and Math,
and poor scores on the CST, (BB-below basic or FBB-far below basic)
AND at least a 2.0 GPA from last year, both semesters.

With that in mind, just a word to you Juniors: Now is the time to get
your act together if you want a lunch pass next year. A LOT, and I mean
A LOT of Seniors have been denied lunch passes in payment of sins
committed LAST YEAR. Don't be left out, get your game together NOW!

2008-10-31T14:11:00.000-07:00

El Capitan Theater Hiring!

shows your strengths and weaknesses both academic and vocational.

Saturday classes at Abram Friedman Occupational Center are still
available in a variety of subjects. See Mr. Snyder to get a registration
slip. Every 24 hrs in class is 2.5 elective credits.

Please feel free to stop by the College/Career center anytime to see
myself or Ms. Campbell. Just make sure you have a signed pass from
your teacher.

And finally, congratulations to all those selected as pollworkers for the
election Nov. 4. There was an overwhelming response to this program
and those chosen will witness a page in history first hand. I encourage
all of you 18+ to get registered and VOTE! I have voter registration
cards in my office room 404.

the test last year were denied work permits and suffered

Seniors Who Do Not Pass CAHSEE

2007-05-16T15:09:00.000-07:00

If you're a senior and you don't happen to pass the CAHSEE,
DO NOT STRESS! Of course, you may not be able to participate
in graduation ceremonies, but there is something very cool in
the works for you. The City of LA, particularly the mayor has
funded a program for this summer where you will work in the
morning 4 hours, then attend class in the afternoon designed
to get you to pass the test. The big news is that YOU WILL
GET PAID! (about $1000 for the summer) So don't flip out,
it's gonna be good. You can see me in 404 Wed/Thur for details.

CST Scores and Work Permits

2007-05-02T11:28:00.000-07:00

Think the CST doesn't matter? Think again. I'm
finding a LOT of students who simply blew off
the test. With scores of FBB (far below basic)
and BB (below basic) there are now definite re-
percussions. If you have FBB in English you will
NOT get a work permit. If you have BB in English
you will be on probation until the next CST and
if you do not improve to at least a B (basic)
your work permit will be revoked. The reality of
the situation is that so many students just
blew off the test and didn't care. They made
themselves look bad, the teachers look bad, and
the school look bad. Even worse, students with
FBB/BB might have to take remedial classes be-
cause according to these scores, they need ex-
tra help. It would be a shame to get stuck in
something you don't need just because you chose
to be lazy. So just do your best on the test.
If you need a little extra help, you'll get it.
Just don't blow off the test and make yourself
look bad AND not get a work permit.

2007-05-02T11:08:00.000-07:00

English teacher, I have a few available. Remember,
you need a resume and a cover letter of introduction.

ation ceremony. You will get a copy of your academic
