We express our appreciation to our wonderful school community for making this school year so successful. We have the most remarkable students and families and are so grateful to have every one of our families a part of Sierra Bonita. We appreciate the partnership we have with you as we work together to create high levels of learning for every student, celebrate individual differences and abilities, and inspire responsible citizenship and lifelong success for all of our students.

Class Request Information for the 2014-2015 School Year
A change has been made this year to the process of sharing class placement requests and special considerations for next school year. I ask that parents who would like to share a request or other information with me regarding their child’s class placement for next year, to please come to the school’s front office during the request window of May 19-30 to receive and fill out a request form. Forms will include specific guidelines regarding the request process. In order for a request to be accepted, it must be completed according to the guidelines, have a secretary’s signature approving the form, and must be received by a member of our office staff during the request window (May 19-30). Forms will not be sent home. I will consider the gathered information along with other academic and school information as I work to create classes that are balanced according to range of student ability, behaviors, gender, and the number of students. If you have any questions, please visit with me or a member of the school’s office staff.    Thank you.  Mike Larsen

Boxtops Week
We invite you to please send in your Boxtops. Our final collection for this year will take place during Boxtops Week that will be held May 5-9.  Thank you for all of your support for Boxtops! We will continue this program next year, so please continue to collect all throughout the summer.

Orchestra Performance
We share our appreciation to Christina Otis and our sixth grade orchestra students for all of their time and effort given to our school orchestra.

School Lunch
We appreciate efforts taken to keep a positive balance on all school lunch accounts. When accounts are nearing a zero balance, a red stamp is placed on the student’s hand by the lunch secretary to serve as a reminder to pay lunch money. If you have any questions about student accounts or other lunch questions, please call Glenett Ponis, our lunch secretary, at 798-4499.
