We appreciate families encouraging their students to do their best in school. By supporting your student to show up every day, on time and ready to learn, you are helping them be successful in and out of school. Showing up is the #1 indicator for success.
We just have 1 week left in Semester 1 and encourage students to finish strong. There will be no early-dismissal next Wednesday, due to final exams. Next Friday is a grading day for teachers and there will be no school for students (January 30).

As ICE continues to remain active in the community, here is a link to a site that offers families a step-by-step resource guide on how to prepare for interactions with ICE. It includes recommendations on filing out a “Caregiver’s Authorization Affidavit (CAA). While this site lists California, we have also included the version provided by the State of Oregon
