News & Announcements

7/29/21 - Our administrative team has been hard at work preparing for the upcoming school year and we are excited to share that we are planning for a full return to in-person learning five days a week. Click above to read the informational letter that was sent to parent/guardian inboxes, and home via postal service.

4/13/21 - We know that these past few months we've asked you to complete numerous surveys. Your input and feedback are important to us. Today, we are writing to ask for ~15 minutes of your time to complete an online survey that will help us improve our schools. We have asked YouthTruth – a nonprofit organization that supports hundreds of schools and districts across the county – to conduct an anonymous survey on our behalf.

We hope you had a wonderful, restful spring break! School resumes today, March 29, 2021. Please note, this week will look a little different. In preparation for our upcoming schedule changes on April 5th and 7th, and to allow teachers time to make the shift to in-person instruction, we will have a modified schedule. Please plan for the following (click above to see schedule details).

As the COVID-19 situation continues to improve in Sonoma County, we need your input for the spring trimester. We are finalizing our safety plans and anticipating a return to campus in a Hybrid model, sometime after Spring Break. We will keep you posted once our plans have been approved by the county and state health departments. In the meantime, we need to know your preference for your student(s). Please take just a few moments to complete the survey.
