🐾April Student of the Month🐾

These students exemplify what it means to be a Cougar rising through demonstrating selflessness. They each received a CR student of the Month bracelet a CR shirt and a certificate.

Every month each department selects a student who exemplifies the Cougar Code for the month to be student of the month. The Cougar Code are words that reflect our vision of Weston Ranch High School. These words are the heart of who we are & what we value. The Cougar Code for the month of April is selfless.

During CAASPP testing, non junior students went through CPR training with the opportunity to do hands on practice led by health services.

🐾 Community Spotlight 🐾

Elena and Luis Nieto was selected as our community spotlight for the month of March.

“I am nominating the Nieto’s because they are the parents that always show for their kids, Daniel and Victor. They have been involved in the wrestling team since Daniel was a freshman. They have helped during duels, done volunteer work for our snack bar and have brought in food and waters on tournament days for all the kids. They are always willing to help and do what needs to be done for the team. “

Each month staff selects a member of the community to spotlight their contribution to supporting our school and community.

Join us in congratulating, Elena and Luis Nieto👏🏽

“Through the years, I have had the opportunity to observe Jon in his classroom. His productive utilization of class time, organization, including transitioning from one activity to another, use of technology and student engagement are all models of effective pedagogy that would benefit any teacher that may be looking to observe to improve their own teaching effectiveness.”
