Sierra School Scoop

Hi Sierra Families,

It was great to welcome all of our Dragons back to school after a long Winter Break. Students are falling back into our routines and getting back into the swing of things around school.

As we enter the winter weather season, please make sure that your contact information is up-to-date in Aeries. Should we encounter weather that may cause a school closure, delayed start, or early release it is important that we are able to contact all families. This information will also always be posted on our school Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PlacervilleSierraSchool/, and the district website: https://www.pusdk8.us/o/pusd

Enjoy the 3-day weekend!
