Wolverine Weekly Update
November 8-12, 2021
Principal's Message
As we wrap up our first trimester this week, I am reflecting and looking back to the start of our school year- the Caldor Fire, families being evacuated from their homes, school being closed for four weeks, and the fear and uncertainty that surrounded that time. Now, here we are, one-third of the way done with the school year. Students have had the opportunity to shine academically, participate in sports, take part in school leadership and student council, attend dances and movie nights, and welcome the return of Guitar Club. There is no doubt this year has proved challenging, but our students have worked hard, shown resiliency, and had success in many different aspects of school life. I am proud of our Wolverines, our hard-working teachers and support staff, and our families who partner with us to support these efforts.
Morning Drop-Off Reminder
Please do not drop off students BEFORE 8:10am. We do not have adult supervision until that time, and students are being dropped off earlier and earlier each week. Please wait with your child in the car until 8:10am. When it is raining 5th & 6th grade students may be dropped off in front of the Emigrant Trail building, and head into the gym. 7th & 8th grade students will be dropped off in front of the Sierra Ridge campus, and head into the gym.
Appreciatively,
Reagan Phillips
Students on Campus After School
Please help us remind your child to make plans AHEAD of time with a teacher so that they are safely supervised between the end of school and beginning of an event.
