Sierra Heights Families:

In a few short weeks we’ll welcome our students and staff back to another great year of learning. Our school and district support staff have been hard at work through the summer preparing classrooms and school buildings, ensuring our school buses are safe and ready to return to the road, and so much more.

The first day of school for grades 1-5 is August 28th & the first day of school for kindergarten is September 3.

We will have our Meet & Greet on the playground, 8/22 from 5:00pm- 6:00pm. You can find the information about your student's teacher in Skyward in Family Access beginning at 8:00am on 8/22. Directions for Skyward family access in on our district website.

Please, look at our district website for back to school updates including:

· School bus routes

· School supplies provided to elementary and middle school students in class

· School breakfast and lunch prices

· Vaccinations and Sports Physicals

· COVID protocols at schools

· Update Skyward family information

· Annual notices

School Day: 8:55am-3:35pm Regular school attendance is important for student growth. Students should come to school daily, on time, unless the child is sick.

NEW: If your student arrives to school later than 8:55am, then you will need to park your car in the South parking lot, walk your student into the main office and sign them in to school.

Arrival & Dismissal: Student arrival time to campus Monday-Thursday is no earlier than 8:40am & Friday no earlier than 10:10. Students must be picked up at 3:35pm.

If your child is not attending Sierra Heights for the 24-25 school year or you have any questions, please contact our office at 425-204-4650.

In this together,

Laura Bohn

Sierra Heights Principal

Major construction upgrades and improvements have begun at Sierra Heights Elementary School thanks to overwhelming voter support in the November 2022 School Construction election measure.

The construction improvements are being phased in over the next couple of years. One of the first projects underway is installing a secure-entrance vestibule like those recently installed at nearly all other district schools. A secure-entrance vestibule is an enclosed area between the outside door of the school and the inside door. When a visitor arrives, they enter the vestibule and are directed to check into the main office, but do not have free access into the school.

As part of that safety feature, we are also reconfiguring some classrooms and the teacher break room to allow us to move the front entrance of the school to the south side of the building (currently the school bus drop off area).

To complete these important projects in a timely manner, the work is being conducted during the school day. As you can imagine, this kind of construction will take time and include some noise and excitement at school. However, our district Capital Projects Department has worked now for several years on construction projects at other district schools that take part during the school day. Our contractors have experience in keeping the construction area zoned off for student and staff safety and keeping noise and disruption to a minimum. They also provide great opportunities for our students to see important trades work happening right in their own school. 

Principal Laura Bohn will provide students, families, and staff with more information and updates as we continue these important improvement projects.
