6th grade students head to Foothill Horizons Outdoor School this Friday. We are excited for the outdoor learning experience for our students. Stay tuned for pictures from the trip.
Based on CDC, CDPH, Cal/OHSA, and Stanislaus County Public Health guidelines, we no longer require masks indoors or outdoors for students, employees, or visitors. This is regardless of vaccination status. If this changes, notifications will be sent in advance. As masking is optional, please respect the choices other make. Some may choose to continue masking. Thank you.
