Message from the Principal
Dear Sierra Families,
Three important topics in my message to you this week: GRATITUDE, OUR SEARCH FOR SIERRA'S NEXT PRINCIPAL'S SECRETARY, and QUARANTINE CLARIFICATION!
1) GRATITUDE: Thank you again to all for the tremendous grit and flexibility demonstrated in pivoting again into the AM/PM schedule. We love getting to see our sharks every day!
2) WHO WILL BE SIERRA'S NEXT PRINCIPAL'S SECRETARY? I'm looking for my next secretary! Please click here for the posting for the Principal's Secretary position. Please feel free to share this opportunity with anyone who meets the qualifications and has the characteristics listed for the job. All applicants must apply by 1/26 at 3:00pm. We are very excited to find our next Principal's Secretary and grateful to Sierra's original secretary, Candy Donnell, who is substituting in the position until it's filled.
3) QUARANTINE CLARIFICATION: As we learn more about the challenges for families of students in isolation due to their own COVID-positive diagnosis or that of a close-contact, we are working to implement new ways we can support these students. To that end, if your child is in a county or district-mandated quarantine while the rest of their cohort is at school, you will work with your child's teacher to connect with them on their system for getting work. You will also receive an email from me inviting you for daily virtual support from our fantastic instructional aide staff. If you find yourself in that position, please do keep your eye out for that email.
I wish you all a wonderful and cozy winter weekend!
Warmly,
Amy Westberg
