Sierra School Scoop

Hi Sierra Families,

Today your child should have received their Report Card for the second trimester-make sure to check their backpacks for this information!

Our annual Read-A-Thon is underway! This is our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year. Funds raised during this time support enrichment opportunities, field trips, assemblies, and special events for all students at our school. Please help us by creating your child's account and logging those minutes!

As a reminder, Spring Break is at the end of the month: March 25-29th. Please make sure to be reading your child's classroom newsletters carefully, as we get into the final few months of school there are many activities and events coming up.

Have a nice weekend,

Reagan Phillips

AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT: Spring classes start next week!

Free groceries, gently used clothing and diaper event: Mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 13 from 12-4pm at the Family

Resource Center on the Schnell campus! For families whose children attend Placerville Union School District.

Free Weatherization Program: With cold weather and many families on tight budgets, every cost saving measure helps. El Dorado County residents can potentially save big on energy bills, and keep their homes warmer by taking advantage of free weatherization services through El Dorado County's Home Weatherization Program. The average yearly savings in energy bills after weatherization is over $400.

Call (530) 621-6150 for more information.

Free Phone and Tablet Event for March: see attached flyer

ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN A TEMPORARY LIVING ARRANGEMENT? – If you had to move out of your home and move in with others, a hotel or other temporary residence due to something urgent (such as not being able to pay rent), please contact me to see if your child qualifies for my program. I am here to help. I also provide resources for all families.
