Bruin's Den March Parent Update
From the desk of Jennifer Carter: Principal
Principal's Message
Dear Alta Sierra Intermediate Parents & Guardians, As we enter the month of March, we are officially in the final stretch of the school year. This is a pivotal time for our students, and your continued partnership makes all the difference. Thank you for the many ways you support learning at home and stay engaged in your child’s education. We encourage families to continue checking Parent Connect weekly to monitor grades, assignments, and attendance. Early awareness allows for early intervention. If you have questions or concerns about your student’s progress, please reach out directly to their teachers. Open communication between home and school is one of the strongest predictors of student success. Daily attendance remains a top priority. Being present, on time, and ready to learn ensures students receive First Time Best Instruction from their teachers. While assignments can be made up, the in-class learning experience — including discussion, collaboration, guided practice, and immediate feedback — cannot be fully replicated. If your student will be absent for one or more days, please contact Ms. Gallegos or Mrs. Gerber in the Grizzly Cluster office to arrange Independent Study. This helps students stay on track and minimize learning gaps during extended absences. Spring is always a busy and exciting season on campus, filled with activities, performances, athletics, and important academic milestones. Let’s continue working together to help our Bruins stay focused, finish strong, and make these final months of the school year their very best. On a personal note, I will be taking a medical Leave of Absence beginning March 11th for approximately 4–6 weeks. During my absence, former ASI Principal, Steve Pagani, will be serving as substitute principal. Mr. Pagani knows our campus, our staff, and our community well, and I have complete confidence that Alta Sierra will be in excellent hands during this time. Thank you for your continued support of our school community. Warmly,
Mrs. Carter
