Our students will be taking their Winter NWEA assessments each morning after CLAW, with a shortened class schedule to follow. Testing will take place with homeroom teachers, and there will be no enrichment classes during testing days.
Schedule at a Glance:
Monday: Reading
Tuesday: Math
Wednesday: Language
Thursday: Science
Please help your child be test-ready by making sure they get a good night’s sleep, eat breakfast, and arrive to school on time.
We’re proud of our students and all the progress they’ve been making, and this is their chance to show what they know! Encourage them to do their personal best and take their time. They’ve got this, and we believe in them!
Today we celebrate the incredible substitute teachers who step in with patience, flexibility, and dedication to support our students. Whether it's keeping classrooms running smoothly, bringing positive energy into the school, or being a reliable helping hand—our subs make a huge difference every single day.
To all of our substitute teachers: Thank you for everything you do for Sierra Grande School District!
✨ We’re also always looking for more amazing subs to join our team!
If you love working with students, want a flexible schedule, and enjoy giving back to the community, consider becoming a substitute teacher with us.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by for food pick-up this week. All available food boxes have been fully accounted for, and we will not be open for food distribution tomorrow.

Congratulations to our Sierra Grande Board of Education members who were sworn in last night! Our schools thrive because of dedicated community members who VOLUNTEER their time to guide and support our district’s mission. We also appreciate Luna Millions for her hard work and dedication as Board Secretary.
We’re so excited to welcome families to our Thanksgiving lunch today! To help things run smoothly and ensure every class has time to enjoy their meal, students will be eating with their own class during their scheduled lunch time.
Due to the large number of visitors, students will not be pulled from class to eat with siblings. Parents are more than welcome to stay to visit with their students during their scheduled time. Thank you for helping us keep lunch time organized and enjoyable for everyone!
We appreciate your understanding and support—happy Thanksgiving! 🍁
Message to Students, Staff, and Community:
After working closely with local law enforcement and school officials, we have determined that our school district and facilities are safe. Following a thorough sweep, we plan to have a regular school day tomorrow, Wednesday, November 12th. There will be an increased law enforcement presence in the area for added safety.
I would like to thank the staff members who helped ensure our safety and supported our efforts throughout the last two days. Please continue to report any suspicious activity to school officials or law enforcement.
Thank you,
Kevin Jones
Superintendent
Mensaje para estudiantes, personal y comunidad:
Después de trabajar con las autoridades locales, hemos determinado que nuestras instalaciones son seguras. Tendremos un día escolar normal mañana, miércoles 12 de noviembre, con mayor presencia policial en el área.
Agradezco al personal que ayudó a garantizar nuestra seguridad. Por favor, informe cualquier actividad sospechosa a la escuela o a la policía.
