Black History Month Presentations!

This month students worked on black history month and made posters to go with it. They all presented them to one another in the classroom, where they learned that some people they did research on are still alive today. This showed them that history isn't so old, and many things are still occurring today. Learn more about our school today.

February Student of the Month – Patrick

What has this student done over the past month to achieve Student of the Month? Before Patrick came to our program he was doing half days without any demands.

Staff & Student of the Month

Staff of the Month: Jacob Kinney It would not be a school year at Sierra without a few bumps and hiccups. I always tell my staff it is not about what we encounter but how we recover.

Jacob has stepped up in countless ways for our classroom and our students success would not have been accomplished without [...]
