Wildcat families…As many of you know we are in the planning phase for creating a Community School. The purpose of the Community School is to better serve you, our families, and our community in the ways you feel are most needed. This will not replace the fabulous school we already have. It will allow us more opportunities for the success of our students. We are starting our input sessions with student interviews and will then move on to doing the same with parents. We will add this input to what we already have; ie. snowboarding club, fly fishing club, mentoring etc. Please look for a permission slip for student interviews coming home tomorrow, Friday Feb. 26. We will begin interviews, Wednesday, January 31. We ask that you return the permission slips no later than Tuesday, January 30. If you would prefer to respond to the permission slip electronically, please access this link. https://forms.gle/uZmpPfqFpzZLP55RA This information we gather will be shared out at our next advisory committee meeting, February 21. You are invited to attend this meeting in person or via Zoom. Details will follow. Respectfully, Susan Keeler, Community School Planning Coordinator Jas Wilkinson, Community School Planning Parent Liaison

The Community School Planning Advisory Group is asking for your input. Would you please complete our survey (very quick, I promise)? Your input is greatly appreciated! https://forms.gle/BuJgBVfCd1NUu6AK8 Thank you...Susan Keeler, CS planning coordinator

Good Morning Wildcat Families! The free Dental Clinic will be running here on campus again tomorrow for dental screenings, cleanings, and Kindergarten Oral Health Assessments. If your child missed out on last Thursday's clinic and you would like to have them see a hygienist, fill out a form in the office.

The basketball game against Shasta Valley has been postponed due to unexpected transportation issues. When we have a definite makeup date, we let everyone know.

Today will be a LATE START. School will start at 10:00. The bus will run 1.5 hours later than the regular scheduled time. We will notify everyone if there is any change.

Good Morning, Wildcat Families! Just a quick reminder that today is a NO SCHOOL DAY for students. School will resume tomorrow morning.

Happy Wednesday, Wildcats! Santa Store, Food Bags, and School Pictures! Oh My! Tomorrow is the final day for shopping. Families are welcome to come and shop the Santa Store tomorrow from 8:45-1:15. There are food bags for families, ready to be picked up in the office. Please pick up your bag today or tomorrow before the end of the school day. Also, school pictures are in!
