School Information

Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! I hope that you had an enjoyable and restful summer break. I am excited to serve as Sequoia’s Interim Principal and am thankful to have an opportunity to work with an amazing group of students, families, and staff. Below you will find important information for the start of the school year.

We would like to welcome the following new teachers to our staff: Tanner Jordan (1 st grade), Ashley Beebout (4 th grade), and Kristina Cardoza (6 th grade)

Grades K-8 7:50-2:10

EVERY Wednesday is a minimum day: Grades K-8 7:50-12:25

Dispensing Medications: In the online Student First Day Packet or via mantecausd.net you will find a form which gives the school permission to assist in dispensing medication to your child. Authorization with parent and physician signatures, instructions, and medication in its pharmacy labeled container must be given. The school, even at parent request, will not administer non-prescriptive medication, such as aspirin, cough drops etc… As a parent, you have the right to bring medication to the school and administer the medication to your child if you feel it is necessary.

Attendance: School attendance is a critical component of success in schools. If your child is out ill, please contact the school attendance line. If the absence is not cleared within five days, including a doctor’s note, attendance cannot be adjusted. Students arriving late to school must report directly to the office for an admittance slip to permit accurate attendance and lunch count.

Daily Symptom Screener: Students no longer need to take the daily symptom screener. If your student is ill, you will be asked to go to Mantecausd.net website and complete the symptom screener there.

Parent Involvement: We encourage you to be involved. Please consider joining our School Site Council and/or Parent Teacher Club. If you wish to be placed on the School Site Council ballot, please email me at dbuske@musd.net to have your name added.

Stay Informed: Periodic messages will be sent home via phone, text, and email. Please make sure to keep your contact information up to date. We also post items on our Facebook page: http://bit.ly/SequoiaSchool.

Enjoy the rest of your summer. We look forward to seeing all of our Tigers on August 4 th .
