Welcome back and Happy 2020! We missed you all and hope that you had a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable Winter Break! We are excited for all of the positive things that are happening as we enter the Spring Semester, which starts on Tuesday, January 20! Please be sure you have the 2019-2020 school calendar handy (click here) and we will share the 2020-2021 calendar when it becomes official.
As we enter the final stretch of the first semester this school year, we want to remind all parents and students that all permanent grades will be entered on Friday, January 17 (no school for students- teacher workday). Parents, PLEASE stay on top of your student by monitoring Parent Portal, downloading the Aeries app for iPhone and Android, signing up for Remind texts from the teachers that use it, asking to be connected to Google Classroom and checking out teacher websites. PLEASE ASK your Viking to show you what they are working on. Please, oh please, don't wait until the LAST MINUTE to see what they are missing or what their grades are. 2nd semester electives should now be visible!
Need help with any of the tech tools we use? PLEASE reach out to our office at 707-646-7000, email your Viking's teacher directly, or check out our website here!

We know that all parents want what's best for our children and that includes raising a good digital human. Many of our students feel that they are "invincible" behind the screen of their phones and do not truly realize that everything they put out on any form of social media is part of their digital footprint. The good, the bad and the ugly. So how do we, as adults still navigating our own way through this digital time, support and teach our students to be very aware that what they throw out there has a LASTING effect? Take a look at THIS ARTICLE for ways to work with your Viking!
