Attendance Note...
If your child is absent from school PLEASE call our attendance line (530) 622-0814, Option 1. When doing so, you must wait until the automated system beeps at the end, to ensure the message goes through. We have a short period of time to alter any absence reasons, so it is imperative that communication happens the day of the student's absence. Thank you for you help with this.

****TEAM SIERRA NEWS****
Hooray for Pancakes with Santa! What an amazing event we had Saturday morning with a special visit from Mr. and Mrs. Claus. We would like to give a huge shoutout to Brandon Flynn (and his helper elves) for dedicating their time and equipment in making the most delicious breakfast. Brandon has supported this event for many, many years and we are so fortunate he continues to grace us with his presence in the kitchen. Thank you, Brandon!
Thank you to Jen Nelson for transforming the multi-purpose room into the most beautiful winter wonderland. Seeing the magic through the eyes of not only the kids, but all the families and staff was truly remarkable. TEAM Sierra wishes you a very Merry Christmas. Thank you for supporting our mission! Stay tuned for NEW events as we head into the New Year!
