Climate Survey
With all of the swift changes occurring in our community and on our campus, we're looking for your feedback about your feelings with regards to our school and programs. We ask you to take a minute and complete the Parent Climate Survey:
COVID-19 Learning Support
With the increased numbers of students testing positive for COVID-19, we want you to know that short-term independent study is available for all students who request it. Packets of work will be created by your student's teacher and made available for pick up in the front office. While not required, this allows for your student to continue their learning while in quarantine. Please let our office staff know if you would like this option should your child need it.
COVID-19 Return Protocol
If your child is returning from quarantine, please have them check in at the front office prior to going to class. They will receive a special pass that let's their teacher know they are safe to return. If they have completed a short-term independent study, please have them return their completed work to their teacher the same day.
Hearing Screening
On Tuesday, January 18th we will be holding annual hearing screenings for all students in 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 8th grades. The hearing van will be on campus and classes will be screened during school hours.
ELPAC Testing Starting
Our English language learners will begin their ELPAC test starting February 2nd. Please find more information on the documents included below.
Published Artists on Campus!
We're thrilled to announce that 4 of our students' art work was featured in the Citrus Heights Calendar. Congratulations to Christian (Kinder), Danielle (8th), Brooklynn (8th), and Luciana (2nd)!
