The Sierra County Republican Party Executive Board met last night and we discussed our desire to provide one Senior student with a $500.00 scholarship. We would like the students who are interested to submit an essay taking a position of one Constitutional Amendment.

A difficult but reflective and thoughtful decision has been made by our administrative team comprised of the Superintendent, Principals, Athletic Director, and School Nurse in remaining vigilant and proactive to combat any further issues to prevent any more exposure due to the recent cases. We are going to a completely virtual learning environment starting 4/21 and returning in person on 4/27.
We will continue in virtual learning using the regular bell schedule of 7 periods. Please continue to have your student log into Schoology. Attendance will be taken similarly as we did during prior virtual learning.
Additionally, this includes no practices for sports, clubs, organization, and no games until the end of this time. We ask that you take this time to remain vigilant so that we can open back up as soon as possible so that we may continue to have in person learning, games, banquets, and ceremonies to finish off the school year with planned calendar of events.
Upon return on 4/27 keep in mind if anyone doesn’t feel well, isolate and test. Masks must be worn properly and continue with social distancing. If your student doesn’t feel well, they MUST stay home and get tested.
We will come back in person on 4/27 unless otherwise informed. Stay safe everyone.
There is a ranch hand position available at the Ladder Ranch. Must have ranch work experience. Please contact Dustin Long via email. dustin.long@retranches.com with a resume, references, and they follow up with interviews in town.
If your student attended the Community Dance at the Fair Barn this last weekend, they have been exposed to a confirmed positive COVID case. If you are feeling symptomatic, please take necessary precautions, get tested, or isolate at home.

Estimada familia y comunidad Tigere:
El estado de Nuevo Mexico de Educacion Publica solicita a todos los distritos escolares del estado que aborden la pérdida de aprendizaje debido al impacto de COVID-19. La legislatura estatal aprobó fondos para que los distritos implementen el Programa de tiempo de aprendizaje extendido (10 días adicionales de escuela, 80 horas de desarrollo profesional requerido para todos los maestros y programación extracurricular requerida) y / o K5 Plus (25 días adicionales de escuela). Después de hablar con los miembros del personal para obtener comentarios, todos los directores y el personal de la oficina central han determinado que las limitaciones de estos dos programas dificultan la implementación, por lo que no vamos a solicitor los para el próximo año. En cambio, en un esfuerzo por "reimaginar la escuela" después de COVID 19, queremos proponer hacer la escuela de manera diferente al obtener información sobre el cambio a un calendario escolar de todo el año (6 semanas de vacaciones de verano, en lugar de 10, y 3 semanas de vacaciones de otoño en octubre y vacaciones de primavera de 3 semanas en marzo). La Escuela Primaria de Arrey ha tenido un calendario anual en el pasado y, según su comunidad escolar, ha funcionado bien como una forma de minimizar el agotamiento de los estudiantes y maestros, así como la pérdida de aprendizaje durante el verano. Ambos calendarios tendrían el mismo número de días escolares. Entendemos que esto afectará a todos de diferentes maneras, por lo que queremos escuchar a todos. Tomaremos una decisión sobre lo que es mejor para nuestros estudiantes, incluso si puede ser un inconveniente para algunos, acelerar su desarrollo socioemocional y rendimiento académico. El cuestionario se cerrará el domingo 2 de mayo a las 6:00 pm.
Se proporcionará una recomendación a la Junta Escolar durante la reunión de la Junta Escolar del 10 de mayo a las 5:30.
Muchas gracias. ¡Mi equipo y yo esperamos leer sus comentarios!
Superintendente, Dr. Channell Segura
