Sierra School Scoop
October 16 - October 20, 2023
Principal's Message...
Hi Sierra Families
I would like to share a few important reminders this week from our school office:
- If your child is absent, please call the attendance line or write a message in Parent Square with an explanation. If you call, please make sure to wait for the line to disconnect to ensure your message goes through.
- If you know of a planned absence that will be more than 3 days, please contact the office to set up an Independent Study for your child. We request that this be done at least two weeks prior to the planned absence.
- Only those with Handicap placards may park behind the Multi-Purpose Room. We are limited on the number of Handicap spots and need to reserve those for people who have a placard.
- Parent parking is located at back parking lot or Federated Church, not on Thompson/Sheridan Street nor front of the school.
- If you are on campus AFTER 8:50am or BEFORE 2:50pm, you must sign in at the office. This helps us account for people in case of any emergency. If you are on campus without a Visitor Badge, you will be directed to the office to sign in and get one.
These requests help ensure our school is operating safely and smoothly. Please reach out with any questions.
Thank you
