Truckee, Calif. ­‐-­‐ Sierra Business Council (SBC) and the Truckee Chamber of Commerce are excited to announce a FuturePreneurs Pitch Week, a week of workshops culminating in a showcase for Tahoe/Truckee teen entrepreneurs presenting to the community their innovative business ideas. On December 6th at 5pm in Truckee Town Council Chambers, teen Futurepreneurs will present their pitch deck for the chance to win prizes and receive feedback from an expert panel of judges, as well as the audience of community members. Teen Pitch Week, a series of workshops delivered by Sierra Business Council built upon a successful program with Tahoe Silicon Mountain, is designed for participants to hone their skills, learn about successful pitch techniques, and craft a winning pitch.

The Showcase will feature the finalists from Teen Pitch Week.

Senior Parent Meeting Slideshow

Monthly, Truckee High students will participate in a short lesson to grow knowledge and skills to navigate life’s ups and downs, handle stress and build strong relationships. Because learning happens in and out of school, parents/guardians and students are encouraged to use the home-guides to continue conversation and revisit tools that can support decision making, self-management, healthy relationships, and awareness. This week’s lesson in Student Success guides an exercise in reflection. Read more here - Beginning your year with clarity (Eng/Esp) .

To improve punctuality and create a focused learning environment, students will participate in a 2-3 minute non-teacher-directed graded warm-up or bell ringer activity. During this time teachers will take attendance and foster a positive classroom atmosphere. The warm-up will account for up to 10% of students’ grade. Classroom doors will be locked when the late bell rings. Students must get a pass from the Attendance Office or a Campus Monitor.

When students get to their 6th - 9th tardy they will be assigned detention and teachers will contact home. For the 10th tardy, a referral will be submitted and a parent meeting will be scheduled.

Thank you for ensuring students are on time to school in the morning and for speaking with your student about punctuality each period of the day.

The main drop off location for students is the front of campus, main entrance, on Donner Pass Road. Bike parking is also located adjacent to the staff parking in this zone. Please arrive before 7:25 and be punctual, courteous, and patient.

Avoid dropping your student off at the door closest to their classroom. Doing so after 7:20 creates other traffic problems for those parking in the West Wing, South, and East parking lots. Any student arriving after 7:30 must enter through the main entrance and check in at the Attendance Office.

Do not open doors for students or adults after 7:30. All doors will remain locked as per ALICE Safety Protocol.

Please read this note about maintaining a clean campus.

• Dispose of trash properly: Place all trash in designated bins, both inside and outside the school.

• Be mindful of spills and messes: If you see a spill, try to clean it up yourself if possible, or alert a staff member if it's a bigger mess.

• Respect school property: Avoid leaving food scraps, gum, or other litter on desks or floors. Treat furniture and equipment with care.

• Respect work hours:Students on campus after practices without adult supervision is not allowed. When practice ends, coaches make sure that all students are out of the building and the doors are locked. There are students that linger after school hours and impede the custodial staff from finishing their jobs. We ask that students get picked up promptly after their practice or event is over at Truckee High School.

Request a locker using this google form. You must complete the google form using a TTUSD student email address. Then simply come to the office and let the front office staff know that you have completed the form. They will get you sorted with a locker.
