Principal's Message...
Hi Sierra Families,
I hope that everyone enjoys the next few weeks off. We look forward to seeing kids back on Monday, January 8th!
Happy Holidays to you and your family.

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.
