It hardly seems possible that it is already November and that the first quarter of the school year is behind us. Even more remarkable is the tenacity
with which summer-like weather held on through October. It was refreshing
to get a wintery rain storm to kick off the month of November. I know that we
are all hoping for a very wet, much needed El Niño winter. Our dedicated
maintenance crew has already begun making preparations by securing
sandbags and back-up generators to ensure that our students and facilities
will be safe and well cared for through the anticipated barrage of winter
storms. With all that said, the arrival of colder weather is not slowing down
activities here at school.
If you are the parent of a senior, the month of November can be a particularly trying time at home with college applications, essays, letters of recommendation, filing fees, and many scholarship and financial aid applications
typically coming due by the end of this month. Please help your son or
daughter stay organized during what can be a very hectic and stressful time.
It is important that seniors ask teachers and counselors for letters of recommendation early as our staff members are sure to be inundated with such
requests in the coming weeks. Faculty members take great pride in writing
meaningful, personal letters for our students. It takes time for them to do
this, and they appreciate those students who are thoughtful enough to ask
early. Academically, being organized allows students to stay focused on
school and to keep up those grades which colleges will ultimately use to determine acceptance. Not procrastinating also means that students will still
have the opportunity to enjoy a restful Thanksgiving holiday with friends and
family.
While we’re on the subject of Thanksgiving, there will be no school on
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, November 25, 26 and 27 for Thanksgiving break. Please also remember that there will be no school on Wednesday, November 11 in observance of Veteran’s Day. While you are enjoying
a day off, please remember to take a moment to honor our nation’s soldiers
for keeping us safe and defending our freedom. SYHS students can be
seen volunteering and performing at a many of the Valley’s Veteran’s Day
celebrations.
Coming up this week, on Thursday, November 5, SYVUHS will host the
powerful Impact Teen Drivers assembly for all students. Impact Teen Drivers is a non-profit conceived by Jon Hamm, CEO for the California Association of Highway Patrolmen in response to the high frequency of crashes involving teens to which CHP officers respond. It was organized for the purpose of providing awareness and education to teenagers, their parents, and
community members about all facets of responsible driving, with the goal of
reducing the number of injuries and deaths suffered by teens as a result of
1
distracted driving and poor decision making. Their school assembly program is highly regarded
and is being sponsored by our local CHP substation.
The first semester ends on December 18 this year--before the start of Christmas break. Semester finals will be administered on Wednesday through Friday, December 16 through 18. Having
semester finals before the vacation allows students to have better retention and to perform better on their exams than they do when the tests had traditionally been administered in January up
until a few years ago. For this benefit to be effective, however, it is important that students are
present to take their finals. Please arrange your holiday travel plans to avoid students missing
any school in December. I should also mention that PTSA will be hosting their bi-annual Food
for Finals event on December 16, handing out free snacks to help encourage students to do
well. This would be a great opportunity for you to pitch in and volunteer to see what our amazing
PTSA is all about. Email [email protected] for more information.
Though November will keep all of us, especially seniors, very busy, it is my sincerest wish as we
enter this holiday season that all of our Pirate families are happy and healthy and that we all find
the time to slow down and be thankful for the many gifts we have been given.

NEWS FROM THE GUIDANCE OFFICE
College Application Info
The California State University (CSU) application window opens October 1st.
The deadline to submit is November 30.
The University of California (UC) application continues to be open. Students cannot
submit the application until November 1. The deadline to submit is November 30.
Students are strongly encouraged to have their applications reviewed by their counselor before submitting.
Students applying to college, along with families, are strongly encouraged to submit
the FAFSA beginning January 1. There is no longer a PIN for the FAFSA. Instead, parents and students will each create a Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID). For those that
wish to do so, that can be done prior to the January 1 date when the FAFSA will first
be open.
Students applying to private colleges are also encouraged to check the PROFILE to see
if the colleges they’re applying to are requesting more information for financial aid (in
addition to the FAFSA).
Students that will be needing letters of recommendation for college applications or
scholarships are reminded to work directly with the individuals they are asking. The
Guidance Office has an link to help students create a resume for the recommenders to
use.
For help on all of these items, and insure yourself that you’re using the correct websites, all
links and much more can be found the Guidance website: http://www.syvpirates.org/
domain/75. Simply click on the College Admission Information tab on the left-hand side of

ASB Bottle-Filling Stations
The stations provide fresh chilled and filtered water from both a standard drinking fountain and a motion-activated bottle-filler. Located near the New Gym and the Library, the
unit features a digital counter which tracks the number of disposable plastic bottles
saved from our landfills by encouraging the use of reusable, refillable water bottles.
The SYVUHS Associated Student Body (ASB) will be selling Pirate water bottles to help
defray the cost of the unit. It is hoped that more stations can be installed in the future.
For information about purchasing a Pirate water bottle, contact Greg Wolf
[email protected] If you are interested in making a donation towards the installation
of future bottle-filling stations on campus, contact Mark Swanitz.

SYHS is looking for students to compete in
National Youth Cyber Defense Competition
CyberPatriot is the National Youth Cyber Education Program created by the Air Force Association to inspire high school and middle school students toward careers in cybersecurity or other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines critical
to our nation’s future. The program features an annual online and in-person competition,
in which teams across the United States and Canada, as well as from Department of Defense Dependent Schools abroad compete in a series of online rounds for a chance to earn
an all-expenses-paid trip to the CyberPatriot National Finals Competition in Baltimore,
MD in the spring. There students have the opportunity to win scholarships and network
with industry leaders.
Participation on our team is open to all SYHS students. Anyone interested should contact
Mr. Peterschick, the team coach, in EP3 or via email: [email protected] or
phone 644-6487, ext 3398.
A commitment to the team is necessary and consists of meetings on a biweekly basis,
learning new concepts and skills, and competing in 6 hour long competition dates, at least
3 times during the school year. Students will learn the basics, and much more, about computer workstation and server security on both the Windows and Linux operating systems.
The competitors also learn about Cisco router and switch configuration, Computer Forensics, and how to use virtual machines. Network, Application, and System security are
also touched upon for Mobile Devices.
CyberPatriot builds teamwork and leadership skills in all competitors and functions best
when a strong student leader rises to captain the teams that form. Teams consist of up to
six players and our school can have multiple teams.
We are also always on the lookout for mentors to help train the students. Anyone with
skills in any of the areas mentioned above is welcomed to contact Mr. Peterschick as well.
We are building this year’s team . Interested students contact Mr. Peterschick, the team
coach, in EP3 or via email: [email protected] or phone 644-6487, ext 3398.

Welcome Letter from Food Services
Information about the Santa Ynez Valley Union High School
District
The Mission of the Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District is to provide our community with a world class food service program that encourages our students to make healthy choices and become productive contributing citizens.
Greetings,
I would like to extend a warm welcome from the Santa Ynez Valley Union High School food service department. Our department
prepares a daily breakfast and lunch menu from scratch, which can be purchased in the cafeteria and quad.
Our food service program and restaurant occupations program is unique, as we work side by side with students to teach them all
aspects of the food service industry. These students are required to have jobs in the food service industry and rotate through the facility working with each staff member for 6 weeks. The food service staff includes Denise Johnson, Adriana Ruelas and Chuck Willis.
Jimmy Palacios, the restaurant occupations teacher, directly oversees safety and sanitation training, preparation and catering, as well
as works with the student to ensure they are learning the proper techniques. They work along-side the students to teach them to
make French toast, pancakes, bagel and English muffin sandwiches, breakfast burritos, waffles, biscuits and omelettes. In addition, the
students make assorted sandwiches, salads, pasta salads, lunch burritos, hamburgers, spaghetti, assorted pizzas and the daily special.
Most of our bread products are made by Edna’s Bakery, which are delivered fresh daily. In some of our bakery products, we have
introduced ultra-grain whole wheat products, which provides additional nutrition.
Each day we offer a lunch special which encourages our students to taste and try new healthier menu options and use different cooking
methods. These recipes are developed by the staff and students to meet the new nutritional requirements, giving students the opportunity to create recipes from scratch and display and market new menu items.
National School Breakfast and Lunch Program
Santa Ynez High School food service program complies with all regulations of the National School Lunch Program. This program
provides free or reduced price meals for those students who qualify. Our school follows a food-based menu-planning program, which
requires specific food components to be offered at breakfast and lunch to provide daily nutritional requirements. The food components are a meat or meat alternative, fruit, vegetable, grain or bread, and fluid milk. Using these components as our guide, five items
are offered daily and a student would need to take at least three items to make a breakfast and lunch.
Students are required to take a fruit or vegetable as part of each meal.

Student Services/Vice-Principal’s Office
Welcome to a great new school year! We love our school and especially acknowledge all
freshman and new transfer students. They have become part of the Santa Ynez High School
family and we invite them to take an active part in our school by getting involved in extracurricular activities such as clubs, art programs and sports teams. We also invite them to
wear black and orange clothing on Fridays, learn and sing the Alma Mater and attend
school activities to show school spirit! This is the most outstanding and excellent high
school in Santa Barbara County and one of the finest in the entire state!
SYHS exists to provide excellent and well-rounded educational opportunities for students. We hold our entire school community to very high standards. We expect students
to “learn what they should learn,” to “do what they should do” and to “be what they should
be.” They are here to become something. It’s our mission to assist them to achieve their
potential as students and citizens. They live in an exciting time in the history of the world
and planning for an excellent future filled with hope and happiness begins now.
The first day of school is Monday, August 17th. We remind you of the following:
SYHS is a Closed Campus:
All visitors must first report to Student Services to sign-in.They are provided a “Visitor Pass” before
entering campus.
To reduce disruption, guests or family members are not allowed to accompany students to classes.
“Shadowing” of classes by non-SYHS students/parents is also not allowed.
Parking Lot Safety:
Students will operate their vehicles on campus in a safe and reasonable manner.They will park in
designated parking spaces only. Students are reminded to lock their vehicles; the school is not responsible for items removed/stolen from vehicles parked on school grounds.
Students are not allowed to loiter in parking lots on campus during regular school hours. Students
may quickly go to their vehicles to exchange materials for the next class or get their lunch, but
must immediately return to campus.
55
Seniors with off-campus passes will be allowed to exit during lunch. Seniors must show their offcampus pass to the campus supervisor as they exit the gate. No seniors without a pass or underclassmen are allowed to leave campus anytime during the school day without parent permission.
All vehicles must have a parking sticker to park on campus. Parking stickers are free-of-charge and
available in the Student Services office. Students must provide a valid driver’s license and proof of
insurance. Students choosing to park off-campus are not allowed to go to their vehicles anytime
during regular school hours.
Dress Code:
Students reflect how they feel about themselves, others, learning and SYHS by how they
dress and groom themselves. Dress and grooming for students should be modest, neat,
clean and non-disruptive. This reflects the personal dignity and integrity of our students and enhances the learning environment of the school. This is part of our high expectations for them. Students wearing inappropriate attire will be asked to make
changes immediately. They will call home, if needed, for a change of clothing. They
may have to wear PE shirts/pants for the remainder of the day if other options are not
available. The following standards apply for all students:
All blouses, shirts, and dresses must have straps (wearing an additional sweater or shirt is appropriate). Spaghetti straps are discouraged, but allowed.
No Short-shorts or super short dresses or skirts. As a rule, all hem lines should be at least two inches
below the fingertips when arms are at the side.
All clothing must completely cover the mid-section and entire bottom. Pants should fit and be worn
around the waist.
Wearing clothing that is unduly revealing is unacceptable, such as see-thru clothing, clothing in
which undergarments are visible, or garments that are backless or mesh. Students may not wear
bagging or low-rise pants that allow underwear to be exposed.
No garments that promote or advertise the use of alcohol, drugs, tobacco, weapons, or violence are
permitted. Clothing that promotes gang behavior, features vulgar or sexual words, pictures or
drawings, or has derogatory language regarding a person’s ethnic background, national origin,
religious belief, gender, sexual orientation or disability is unacceptable and will not be permitted.
56
Skateboards:
All skateboards must be checked in at the Student Services office upon arrival at
school.You may pick-up your skateboard at the end of the school day.
Attendance:
All absences must be cleared within 3 days. A parent or guardian should send a note or call the
attendance clerk (805 688-6487 Ext. 3238).You can leave a message on voicemail if calling
after hours.
Students must have parent/guardian permission prior to leaving school during normal hours.
Permission can be given by sending a note with the student or by calling the Student Services
office directly. Students leaving campus without permission will receive disciplinary action for
truancy.
Truancy – unexcused tardies and absences: SantaYnez High School supports the actions of
SARB (Student Attendance Review Board).The board is made up of school administrators from
Valley-wide schools, and the Assistant District Attorney of Santa Barbara County.The purpose
of SARB is to support California Education Code Law that promotes students attending school
daily, achieving academically, promoting a safe learning environment, and reducing crime
through accountabilities and standards.When a student has exceeded 7 unexcused tardies
and/or absences, students and parents will be notified of school consequences and SARB disciplinary action. SARB requires notification of student truancy behavior to the Assistant District
Attorney for Santa Barbara County. For repeat truancy offenders, SARB may assign afterschool parent meetings and/or classes, restrict driver license privileges, and/or refer students
to Teen Court.
Please contact Peter Haws with questions by phone (805 686-3562) or in Student Services.
We love our school!
All Ways Forward—One Team, One Fight!
