Message from the Principal
Dear Sierra Families,
Happy Friday!
Important reminders:
1) All parents/guardians should conduct a self-screening daily with children before sending them to school. If they have vomited or have any other COVID symptom, please do not send them to school. If we send your child home from school with a symptom, and they subsequently test positive for COVID, per county health guidelines we have to close the whole cohort and put them in distance learning. This prevents a possible unintended exposure to a class and thereby causing it to close and go into distance learning.
2) Do not send your child to school if they are COVID positive or a close contact of someone who is positive for COVID, including any member of your household.
Looking ahead to the shift to the districtwide AM/PM model next week:
1) Here is the bell schedule including information about our Grab & Go Lunches available since we won't have lunch on campus in this model for our traditional AM/PM students. RVC families, please observe the additional note on the bell schedule regarding your Grab & Go pickup time. The bell schedule also reiterates that "A" = AM and "B" = PM. You can always find the bell schedule on our school website.
2) Monday there is no school in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
3) K/1st grade PM cohort B parents: your drop-off will be busier than usual due to the rest of half of the school joining you in the PM starting Tuesday the 19th. Just want you to be aware! :)
4) If your child has a group change (A to B or vice versa) this will be updated in Aeries by 2:00 today. Our front office staff has communicated with all parents if there is a change at this point but if you want to confirm, you can always check your Aeries parent portal to see which cohort your child is in (A or B).
5) As always, please remember to stay in your vehicle in the drop-off lane. If you need to exit your car, park in a parking spot. This prevents a back-up of traffic and/or taking space away from a safe and fast drop-off.
Teamwork makes the dream work!
Warmly,
Amy Westberg
