Shark News
SIERRA FAMILY NEWSLETTER - AUGUST 3, 2020
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Oh, how we've missed our sharks and Sierra families! We are excited to welcome you to the 2020-2021 school year. Whether your student is starting school at Sierra with our new and improved Distance Learning Model or with Rocklin Virtual Campus (they are still a Sierra Shark!), we are all in this together.
Together we will ensure our sharks grow and are cared for socially, emotionally, and academically. I know there are many questions about the start of school and we will be sharing detailed information throughout this week. There is important information you will need in this newsletter - so keep scrolling down!
Thanks for all you do to support our Sierra community!
Sincerely,
Amy Westberg
Principal
P.s. If you are a Sierra family with a child or children enrolled at RVC, you will continue to receive our Sierra communications in an effort to keep you and your RVC Shark connected to Sierra while you're temporarily away, and also to ensure you have access and inclusion in Sierra information and events that take place during the year.
AERIES Data Confirmation - Teacher Assignments!
Very Important To-Do: Starting August 3, 2020
The data confirmation process for Rocklin Unified School District will open on August 3rd on the parent portal in Aeries. This process is designed to ensure all student demographic and contact information is reviewed and updated each year. Be sure to update your own contact information with your cell phone and email as we frequently use both for school communications. Please be sure to complete this process as soon as possible. This will need to be completed for each student before you can view who your student’s teacher is in the Aeries Parent Portal for the 2020-2021 school year. If you need to reset your password, click here or go to the parent portal in Aeries for instructions. For further instructions, please click here. If you have any questions about Aeries and/or data confirmation, please contact our school clerk, Mindi Diemer, at mdiemer@rocklinusd.org.
Data confirmation must be completed if you plan to request to borrow a Chromebook during distance learning. As a fellow RUSD parent of two high-schoolers, I'd recommend that you bookmark AERIES in your internet browser now as your AERIES use will increase a bit as your children get older.
Class/Teacher Assignments are viewable on Aeries Parent Portal starting on Friday, August 7, 2020 after 5:00 p.m. so be sure to get your child's Data Confirmation completed to view the teacher.
BACK-TO-SCHOOL SUPPLIES
If you are in need of supplies, please contact our school secretary, Carolyn Byers @ cbyers@rocklinusd.org, or call 916-788-7141 to arrange for pick up.
