Principal's Update
Hello Students and Families
Besides the incident that occurred near campus Friday afternoon, we had a successful first three days of school and it is a real testament to our kind, committed and well raised students here at SR! The ASB also planned an amazing Welcome Back Rally to keep our school wide spirit up! 2024-2025 is going to be a great year.
Students and Parents: Remember that all of our school wide policies regarding phones, tardies and going to class prepared begin Monday, 8/26/24.
Students watched the videos embedded below to review what happens in the event they fall short of any of our expectations. Parents, please review the videos to help reinforce our plan to keep students engaged and learning at high levels!
Cheers,
Joe Ryan Dominguez (he/him)
Principal | San Rafael High School

Sign Up for Random Act of Kindness
Looking for a simple way to volunteer on your own schedule and show your appreciation for our amazing teachers and staff? Then Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) is your answer! RAK will match you up with a teacher/staff member and you will surprise them by dropping off special gifts at the office about 4-6 times throughout the school year. Gifts can be inexpensive and easy, like a handwritten card, gift card, or a homemade treat. Or maybe something more elaborate on their birthdays or holidays. It's a wonderful way for you to brighten up their day and let them know how much you care!
