Dear Serra Families:

Welcome back to Serra. We extend a warm welcome to our new Serra families! We hope that you all had a relaxing and restful summer. Please scroll down to view this week's important news:

This Monday, August 23 is our school Mass of the Holy Spirit. It is Dress up Day for our students, who are asked to wear a dress shirt, tie, dress slacks and dress shoes. 

Senior College Night

At 7 p.m. on August 25, the counseling department will host a mandatory Senior College Night for seniors and their parents in the cafeteria. Topics to be discussed will include testing requirements, submitting test scores, the process for submitting official transcripts, how to request letters of recommendation from teachers, deadlines for applications, and financial aid forms/scholarship applications. Attendance at this program will provide answers to many of the most pressing questions that seniors and their parents have as they begin the college application process.

Academic Resource Center New Parent Information Night

Members of the Academic Resource Center will host a special evening for new parents from 7:30 to 9 p.m. next Thursday, August 26 in the library.
