Principal's Welcome Message

     Melissa Lee

  Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year at Coombs Alternative Education School. The structure of the campus is to help students meet their graduation requirements in a safe, secure environment, with added adult supervision and instructional support systems. We continue to provide most students with an advisory period to support both their social emotional and academic growth. The school offers a traveling sports program where students that commit to participating

actively will receive 2.5 credits in P.E. or Electives in each of the four (4) sports offered. Our students will have the opportunity to participate in home and away games with other alternative schools in the low desert area such as Indio, Palm Springs, San Jacinto, Rancho Mirage, etc. This program helps engage our students in school and fosters the development of teamwork.

Every Thursday at 1:00pm, we will have an early release day. This provides our teachers with valuable collaboration and professional development time on a weekly basis, including monitoring student progress in each assigned class. We will send periodic academic review or “PAR” letters every three weeks, informing you if your student is not making adequate academic progress. Please feel free to contact the office or your student’s teachers with any questions.  

We look forward to welcoming our students back to in person learning and having a successful new school year, keeping with our motto that every student can graduate with a high school diploma when given the support to do so!
