Summary
Students in a Southern Kern Unified morning bulletin previewed senior eligibility rules for spring trips, gave dates for Disney and Universal visits and prom, described spirit-week activities run by the Hope Squad, and led a campus tour for incoming eighth-graders. Track coach Miss Barrios said the season has just started.
Students at a Southern Kern Unified high school used a morning bulletin to outline several upcoming spring events, describe spirit-week activities, and give incoming eighth-graders a brief campus tour.
The morning announcement said students must meet behavior and academic eligibility rules to attend senior trips: no referrals and satisfactory grades were listed as requirements. Dates announced for spring events were a Disney trip on May 23, a Universal trip on May 29 and prom on April 12. The bulletin urged eligible students to take part.
The bulletin also highlighted spirit-week activities organized by the Hope Squad, including a rock-paper-scissors-style bracelet competition. Students described the bracelet game as a social activity: participants challenge one another for bracelets, and the person with the most bracelets earns “bragging rights.” Several students said the event encouraged them to meet peers they otherwise would not.
Kevin, a student, and Liberty, a student, led a short campus tour aimed at new eighth-graders, pointing out the main gate where students show IDs, the bus drop, the school office, the old and new cafeteria sites, elective-classroom buildings, the library and sports facilities including tennis, softball and baseball fields. The tour noted the new cafeteria is expected in the future; further details and timing were not specified.
Several seniors spoke about post-graduation plans during the bulletin. Alexander, a senior, said he is likely to play college football and spoke of pursuing psychology as a major. Other seniors named College of the Canyons, Oxnard (likely Oxnard College), San Diego State University and UC Davis among possible college destinations; some students said they intended to play college sports, while others said they planned to enter the workforce.
Miss Barrios, identified in the bulletin as one of the head coaches for track and field, said the track season had begun that week and that many athletes placed in early events. “Our season just started this week. We had a lot of our athletes place, in their events,” Barrios said.
The bulletin repeated closing remarks four times and concluded with a final reminder of the events and activities.
No formal actions, votes or policy changes were announced during the bulletin; the items described were informational.
