A Note from your Principals

Families,

Sarah and I are taking Owen off to Cal Poly SLO on Wednesday to help move him into his freshman dormitory on Thursday.

College is definitely on my mind. I invite all of you to visit the College and Career Expo at CR on Thursday. (The details are just a couple inches below this note.)

Why? It’s the one day of the year when dozens of college and career reps come to Humboldt County.

Let your sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and/or twelfth grader(s) walk around the booths. They will learn about schools they’ve never heard about and learn more about schools that they do know about…plus they will get swag and treats.

It’s a great way to start a conversation about the future. Ms. Scott and Ms. Enemark are wonderful resources at school who will continue that conversation with you and your student.

Peace and Joy,

Paul Shanahan

Frequently Asked Questions

Food Delivery?

We do not allow students to Door Dash food to school. It is simply too much for the office staff to handle if we allow for this. Thank you for understanding.

If you would like to bring food to your student, please bring it into the office for your student to pick up. We limit students going off campus (even just out the front doors) during break and lunch for safety reasons.

What time is lunch?

Tuesdays through Fridays, our lunch is 12:55 to 1:20.
