Parents we need your help

Parents we need your help

Parents we need your help on Wednesday mornings!

There have been ongoing behavior issues with students at 7-11 on late start Wednesdays. Moving forward, Chico PD will be monitoring behaviors. If your child is going to visit the 7-11 area, please talk with them about appropriate behaviors. Please keep in mind, that if a student is dropped off at the Marsh campus, they are NOT to leave. This would be considered a cut, and the student will be assigned Saturday School.

Thank you for your support as we wind down the school year!
