Message from the Principal
Dear Sierra Families,
Thank you for your continued support as we navigate this absolutely wild year. I think I've never identified more with bull riders. My goodness! I know you are riding the bull of 2020 right alongside us and I applaud you for staying on! It's really incredible what we've all been through together. You are the ultimate troopers!
As you are aware, we will be moving to a new educational model starting on January 19th, 2021. On January 19th, all K-12th grade students will be on the AM/PM schedule. There were many factors involved when creating class lists to ensure transportation (bussing), program needs, and class sizes were met. I recognize that this schedule change may create some difficulties for you, and I completely sympathize with that. Please know though that there is very little wiggle room to make changes based on the factors above. If you have a high priority need for a schedule change, please complete this Schedule Change Request Form. We will do what we can to accommodate your request, however we are unable to guarantee a change. We will review the requests when we return to work on Jan. 5th and make any accommodations possible. We will contact you after the break if we are able to accommodate a request.
Starting January 19th, if your child is in cohort A (attending school on Tuesday/Thursdays), he/she will be on the AM schedule, and if your child is in cohort B (attending school Wednesdays and Fridays), he/she will be on the PM schedule. If your child is in kindergarten or first grade, there are no changes to their daily schedule (unless the school office has already contacted you regarding a necessary change this week).
JAN 19th - April 6th (or sooner if we go into the Orange Tier as a county according to the RUSD Board vote this past week):
AM = A
PM = B
Monday:
AM: 7:50 - 10:05
PM: 11:05 - 1:20
Tuesday- Friday:
AM: 7:50 - 10:35
PM: 11:35 - 2:20
We will be offering a grab and go lunch for both groups. Please stay tuned for more information on this.
When students arrive on campus they are to head straight to their classroom during the times indicated above.
Finally, our front office will be closing at 1:30 pm today.
Wishing you the happiest of holidays!
