Got Truck?
If we are able to get a couple of trucks and a half dozen strong backs, this should go quickly. Please give a call to Nancy, or email her at nancy_sirski@mtbaldy.k12.ca.us if you can help out.
Reminder--Please Bring Emergency Food Bags
Keep an eye out for an invite to a work party to clean out our emergency shed on Friday, October 1st.
Parent Project
Just when you think you have it figured out, along comes another growth phase, or another child who behaves completely differently!
We know you would agree that parenting is the hardest, and most humbling, vocation any of us will have in our lifetimes.
Below find a flyer for some excellent trainings for parenting that are all the more important as we all make a transition out of pandemic closure.
Parenting trainings are wonderful ways to get more tools in your toolbox and, most importantly, know that you aren't the only one encountering challenges with raising children!

COVID Testing for Students--Be Prepared and Pre-register!
Please know that we will not test your child without your verbal consent, even if you have turned in a virtual consent form--but doing so will eliminate a step down the road. We also have COLOR PCR tests, which take longer for results as they must be shipped to be processed., to verify a positive result from the antigen test.
Primary Health is the platform we use to track testing, parent consents, and notifications. The link below is to our district site.
We will be providing more information about the testing process, but ask for your assistance now in filling out the virtual testing consent for your chld(ren).
Please know that the online registration asks for questions that you may opt to not answer.
Please Sign Consent Form
Student/Parent Handbook and COVID-19 Amendment
Please review safe mask handling with your child or children. You may want to provide your child with a breakaway lanyard to assist with keeping track of masks while going inside and out, for those who choose to take their masks off outside.
Reminder: check your cell phones weekly and make sure your voice mail isn't full!
