Sierra School Scoop

Hi Sierra Families,

Our first BRAND NEW event that Team Sierra is putting on is coming up. On Saturday, February 24th from 6:30-8:30pm, they will be hosting Rollin' with my Homies-a fun game night for our boys to attend with a special lady (mom, grandma, aunt, older sister, etc.). Please see below for additional details as pre-sale tickets are happening right now! We hope to have a great turnout for this fun night.

As a reminder, there is NO SCHOOL Monday Feb. 12th and Monday Feb. 19th.

Have a great weekend,

Reagan Phillips

As a reminder, parking and/or dropping-off/picking-up is not permitted at the front of the school between 8-9 am and 2-4 pm, unless your student attends extended day. For safety reasons, this area needs to be cleared at those times as it is our school bus lane. Families, please use the district office lot for morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. If you prefer to walk your student to and from class, please use the parent parking lot at the back of the school. The few parking spots at the front of the school are reserved for staff and those with limited mobility. Thank you for your assistance in keeping our school safe and orderly.
