Hello Woodsy Owls,

I hope everyone enjoys a week off to rest and reconnect with family. Only two more weeks left in this trimester and then we are in the final trimester of the school year. Time sure flies when we are having fun.

I would like to introduce to you a very important person on our campus.

Deputy Sheriff Kevin Hills is our School Resource Officer (SRO). School resource officers "provide an on-site high visible presence to deter or identify trespassers on campus, investigate crimes related to the school population, liaison between school cooperators and the Sheriff’s Office, and service the surrounding communities by addressing public safety concerns related to the schools." https://www.placer.ca.gov/7112/Youth-and-Community-Services-Unit

Deputy Kevin Hills has been with the PCSO for 8 years and was with the LA PD for 5 years before this. A father of three kids, ages 3, 6, & 8, he is keenly aware of the need for safe and welcoming schools. He is the SRO for Sierra Hills, Weimar Hills, Alta Dutch Flat, Colfax Elementary, and Colfax High School. He has already met many of the students and hopes to be around more and more to continue meeting them and meeting their families as well. The next few weeks he won't be around much as he has vacation time and specialized training (Marine Patrol) in Southern California. After March 7th, he will be visible on campus often. I hope you get a chance to meet him and chat with him. It is great to know that we have law enforcement looking out for the continued safety of our school and especially our kids.

If you need to reach him, you can call the non-emergency PCSO's number at 530-886-5375 and leave a message for him by name. Although his availability is limited for the next three weeks, after that I know that he will promptly get in touch with you.

Thank-you for all you do. Have a great week. I look forward to seeing you after this wonderful week of family time.

It truly takes a village.
