We, the Patrick Henry High School faculty and staff, hope our students, their families and the community at large had a restful and safe Thanksgiving with family and friends.
As we continue to battle the pandemic, the UCSD Mobile Vaccination Van is open to community, staff, families and students. Anyone over age 18 can walk in for vaccination. Students younger than 18 will need to have a parent or guardian present. Please go to this link for more information about the mobile vaccination van: www.bit.ly/3ryqM7d.
For a list of vaccine centers near you, please go to myturn.ca.gov. If you cannot find a vaccine center near you, please contact your primary care provider or health office. As a community, we hope to reach peak immunity by January 2022.
We are nearing the end of the first semester. In order to support all students, we offer Academic Labs (tutoring sessions) for students Mondays–Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in the library. Any student can access these Academic Labs to get support from our teachers and students from our Link Crew.
