Learn at Home Days - Feb 18 and Feb 19

Good afternoon PRUSD Families,

PRUSD staff had the opportunity to receive the first shot of the COVID-19 vaccination in January.  
February 17th is the scheduled date for the second shot for our staff.  Reports have concluded that more people have a reaction to the second shot than the first which could keep them out of school.  For this reason, we are moving instruction on February 18th and 19th to distance learning.  Teaching and learning will be via distance learning on those two days.  We will resume back to the regular hybrid schedule on February 22nd.  We hope that this is one more step that our staff has taken to get all students back on our campuses.

Thank you for your continued support and flexibility.   

Great Kindness Week Challenge

We are joining the Great Kindness Week Challenge! January 25-29
 
We all want kinder kids.  Help them visualize what kindness looks like and fill out the kindness tracking form that comes home with them or is in their D.L. packets.  Then get out there and find an opportunity to show your kindness.  Take a picture or your student being kind and send it to [email protected] or submit to your teacher.

Help us make the season bright for Alta Sierra by creating a dazzling light display on campus! 
 
Donate your unwanted light strings, rope lights, blow up characters, extension cords, etc.  Bring items to the lower parking lot, where there will be a collection box at the base of the stairs to the office starting next Monday, December 7th.
 
Want to help us decorate? Join us on December 10th and 11th from 2:30PM until dark.
 
Please do not send us a giant tangle of lights or lights that only light on one side. Please put your lights in a plastic bag and if possible, let us know what color they are or multi-colored. Thank you!
 
In a time when we cannot host our usual holiday events, such as Mistletoe Mall or Pancake Breakfast with Santa, we are excited to bring joy and cheer to our families by Lighting up the Holidays!
 
Please direct any questions to the school office and thank you again for helping us create new ways to stay connected as a community.
