What will happen:

Every evening, you will receive an email with any updates from your subscribed pages.
If you have 3 children from either Alta Sierra or Magnolia AND you have subscribed to the school and teacher pages, you will receive one email that contains all of the updates. The goal is to make communication easy for our parents as they could be getting information from two schools and 5 teachers, all in one concise email.

Independent Study is an option for you to avoid absences. If you are going to miss 3 days or more of school, call the office and ask for independent study.

On the day your student comes back to school, bring the completed work back. Your student will be credited with attendance if the work is done.

There is a limit of 14 days per school year.

Your student being at school is preferred of course. However, life happens and you may need this program.

Hey Parents!

We need your help. We cannot make transportation changes after 1:45PM. It is much to hectic to get the notes to teachers and avoid confusion.

If you do not inform us of a change before 1:45pm, we will follow the transportation schedule already in place.

We absolutely cannot take the word of an elementary student to relay a change request. A parent must send a note, come to the office or call (before 1:45pm) to make a change.

Thank you for your understanding.

Did you know that kids learn most of their vocabulary outside of school, through conversations with family and friends? Drawing pictures during play time lays the foundation for reading and writing, even for the youngest of learners. Students are now coming to school with less word exposure than in years past. Here are some ideas that will help your child. Easy stuff.

Model good habits by reading and writing in front of your child

Adults’ attitudes toward reading and writing influence children’s perception of the value of these skills. Having your child observe you while reading a book or magazine and while writing a thank you note or email to a friend helps to establish a recognition that reading and writing are useful and positive parts of everyday life.

Be sure to explain why you are reading and writing to your child. For example, to learn about a topic you are interested in or to entertain yourself with a funny story or to thank someone for their kindness. Kids need to understand the value and purpose of the actions of reading and writing; knowing the why helps them be more motivated to read and write themselves. (source NWEA)
