We believe in a calm, reassuring and interdependent learning environment. Encouraging and teaching reciprocal respect creates an environment conducive to interdependent learning. Students know that adults and peers alike support them and want them to succeed. Students take risks and accept challenges as part of their learning processes in a safe, calm and encouraging environment. We believe that parents should share responsibility for making the school experience a success for their children.
Parents encourage learning at home, volunteer in classrooms and attend school activities.
Parents also assist in the teaching of responsible, self-disciplined behavior. Communication among all partners flows freely and frequently. We believe that family and community should feel comfortable in the school environment and be an integral part of the school experience. Family and community are an integral part of the Sierra experience. The various community organizations using Sierra facilities are encouraged to provide athletic and extracurricular opportunities and activities.
