Hello Sierra Families,

We are seeking TWO parents to serve along with the Sierra Staff on the 2022-2023 School Site Council.

The Council is made up of five parents and five staff members who review, provide input and approve our Site and Safety Plans. If you have any questions about the Council please email the principal's secretary, Kimberly Ervin, at kervin@rocklinusd.org.

New members receive training from RUSD staff regarding the role of parents/community members serving on school site councils. The training will be delivered on October 17th 3-4pm prior to the first site council meeting. The first Sierra site council meeting will be held virtually on December 8, 2022, and the second meeting virtually on February 16, 2023. Each meeting is about 1-1.5 hours long. This year we have two open parent/community member, 2-year term seats available to serve on the council. If you are interested, please email Kimberly Ervin at kervin@rocklinusd.org by FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30TH.

Please include the following information:

"Yes, I am interested in becoming a Site Council member" with your NAME, EMAIL ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER and STUDENT'S NAME/TEACHER. We will follow up with more detailed information and add your name to the ballot which will be distributed to the school community in November.

Please slow down, stop fully at stop signs, observe crosswalk laws, and look both ways when driving in the school neighborhood. There are a lot of precious children and parents walking and crossing the street and we want to keep everyone safe.

Thank you for your cooperation.
