Principal's Message
Dear Rancho Families,
December brings a mix of excitement and focus as we move toward the end of the semester. This is an important stretch for our Cougars. Finals give students the chance to show what they have learned and to finish the semester with confidence. Strong performance on finals supports academic progress and builds the habits they will rely on in future work.
Please encourage your students to prepare with intention. A solid plan makes a real difference. Set a study schedule and stick to it. Use the resources available on campus, including help from teachers, GOAL Saturdays, and tutoring before and after school. Preparation matters, but balance matters too. Students should get enough rest, eat well, and take short breaks so they stay focused. Our staff is always here to support students who need guidance.

Thank you to our students, families, and staff for your hard work and dedication throughout the fall. I am proud of our Cougars and confident they will finish well. I wish everyone a successful finals week and a joyful holiday season.
Cougar Pride,
