Principal's Message
Welcome Cougar parents and students!
I am delighted to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year. This is my third year as the principal of Sierra Oaks, and our staff and I look forward to working closely with you to support our students mentally, emotionally, and academically this year.
At Sierra Oaks, we value family engagement. Parents are a child’s first teachers and play a critical role in student success. Opportunities to connect include email, the PTA Facebook page, attending school events, volunteering, donating, and chaperoning. Please be sure to read the Cougar Chronicle; it will always contain the most up-to-date information about upcoming events and important reminders. Another important way you can support your children is by encouraging good attendance.
I am thrilled to announce many additional resources and supports this year, including our vice principal, Ms. Foree, a school community intervention specialist, DC 3, and a full-time music/band teacher. With these resources, and our current amazing staff we are set for a successful educational journey.
This year, we also have some exciting initiatives and programs, such as a behavior academy, site improvement projects, family community and engagement district partnership, student clubs, math intervention, and the Mission Oaks recess program. These initiatives reflect our effort, dedication, and passion for making Sierra Oaks a place of learning, opportunity, growth, joy, and celebration for our community, staff, and students.
Our professional development this year will focus on literacy for all. We will continue to uphold our values of respect, building community, and maintaining high expectations. I am eager to see the academic and social growth our students will make during this new school year. Thank you for your partnership in supporting our students, staff, and community.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Please try to take these last days to have some summer fun!
Warmly,
Mrs. Chrostowski
