Hello students and families!
I hope everyone had a productive week with a restful weekend ahead. I have two updates to share today:
I would be remiss not to acknowledge the very real apprehensions felt by many of our students, families, and staff over national news and politics on a list of issues that came up this week.
Let me affirm: San Rafael High School will always be a campus that is safe, supportive and free from hate for each and every student.
Our staff were reminded of the following points this week:
We have a responsibility to address student questions and comments regarding current events with measure, impartiality and professionalism It is also our job to teach our teens how to have productive discourse even when they may disagree We will always insist on kindness and respect in all dialogues Our diversity of backgrounds, ideals, identity and origin is our greatest strength. We love all of our students and will do everything within our power to keep them safe
What we know is students can not learn at high levels until they feel seen, heard, and safe so that is our priority every day.
Families that are seeking more information and guidance will receive updates as they become available in the coming days and weeks.
2. As we continue our journey through the construction projects, I want to make sure you can see what has been done so far. Take a look at this video to see the progress of our new pool, gym floor, Multi-use building and more:

That is all for now,

Greetings Friend of Marin Teens!
Don’t miss this opportunity to become a sponsor and supporter of the 13th Annual Marin Teen Girls Conference on March 2, 2024, at the Embassy Suites in San Rafael--a truly inspirational day for young women in Marin.
Hosted by the Marin Women’s Commission, this free event attracts over 250 teens from across the county, along with enthusiastic support from parents and the community.
The Conference is organized in tandem with Marin teen leaders as part of our Teen Ambassador Program. This means it is the only event of its kind organized by teens for teens. Last year, we welcomed hundreds of attendees who learned about everything from opening checking accounts to mental health to body positivity to career pathways. We invite you to check out our 2024 press release to see highlights from last year’s impactful program.
Sponsoring this highly anticipated event is a unique opportunity to align your brand with a cause that truly matters. We encourage you to learn more about sponsorship levels and benefits here. Donations of any size are tax-deductible and will directly support the success of this transformative event.
We so hope you will join us to support and empower our young women.
Warm regards,
Maureen Broderick
Marin Teen Girl Conference, Sponsorship Lead

Dear Parents/Guardians,
San Rafael High School has a proud tradition of offering our students a wide range of courses from which they can select for their course schedule for the following year, and this year is no different. We want our students to challenge themselves to take the most rigorous courses they believe they can manage.
This month, students will receive information about our electives, CTE pathways, AP. and Honors courses. From February 3 through February 14, counselors will visit English classes to help students make their initial course requests in Aeries via their Academic Plans. Later in February, we will send home a course verification letter, which allows families and students one last chance to make changes to course requests. At this time, students and their families will be asked to commit to these course requests. These requests will be granted to the best of our ability in managing our overall master schedule. Class or course conflicts may result in the inability of your student to be enrolled in all requested courses. If there is a course conflict, counselors will contact their students to discuss their options.
Students who are interested in taking AP courses will need to complete an AP Contract that acknowledges that they are expected to stay in this class the entire school year. The due date for the completed AP contracts to be returned to the counseling office is March 19th; any students who do not complete this contract will have any AP course taken off their course requests.
Students and parents should keep in mind the hours of preparation and follow through that are required for success in an advanced level course. We recommend students limit their advanced coursework to no more than three Honors or AP classes in a year. To be eligible for placement in an AP class, the student should meet specific criteria as is stated in the curriculum guide, which can be found on our school website. Some AP classes may have a summer assignment that will need to be completed prior to the beginning of the next school year.
Please be sure to take some time to discuss your student’s course requests with them, taking into consideration their responsibilities outside of school. If you have any questions or need further information about the course request process, please contact our Counseling Office at 415-485-2336.
Sincerely,
Kent Morales
San Rafael High School
Assistant Principal
Grades 10 & 12
