Lost & Found Update!

Attention cougars! Our lost and found has reached its capacity. Please ensure your children are returning home with all belongings brought to school. If you notice your student is missing their jacket, water bottle, etc., send them to search the Lost and Found!


Pro tip: Mark your child's clothing and items with their first and last names so we know who they belong to.

Our winner of the T-shirt Contest! Congratulations Klark Sacramento

Attention Parents! We are in need of your participation in our School Site Council Meetings.

Why is it so important?

Together we make decisions that shape the education of your children!

The School Site Council is the school’s governing Committee that determines the best use of allocated state LCFF funds and Title 1 federal funds in order to provide the best outcome for all the students.

Functions:

  • Develop a comprehensive single plan for student achievement based on student data.

  • Ensure that the school is identifying curriculum and instructional practices that are research based and proven to be successful.

  • Allocation of supplemental funds to improve student achievement.

  • Allocation of funds based on the needs of students.

  • Recommend the school plan for student achievement to the local school board.

  • Review meeting and operational procedures.

  • Review bylaws and develop an annual meeting calendar.

  • Develop the school safety plan

Is Your Student a Sixth Grader?

If so, applications are now open to register your student for Middle school PUENTE or AVID.


Both AVID and PUENTE have the same mission: to support motivated students in becoming competitively eligible for a four-year college/university upon high school graduation. Both programs also encourage students who will be the first in their families to go to college or who have similar unique circumstances to apply.

Both AVID and PUENTE indicate to colleges and universities the motivation and college-readiness of enrolled students.

Both AVID and PUENTE coordinate 25+ college tours for students enrolled in the programs.

Both AVID and PUENTE require their teachers, counselors, and support staff to be trained. Staff attends trainings throughout the year to stay current on AVID or PUENTE methods and requirements.
