Sycamore Elementary School

Dear Redding Families, I hope this summer was a great time for you and your family and it finds you all healthy. It is a great honor that I am writing this message to welcome our families back to school. When I was a child, my Mom would

The Shasta County Special Education Local Plan Area will hold a Public Hearing to adopt the 2022-23 SELPA Annual Service Plan, E.C. 56205(b)(2) and the 2022-23 SELPA Annual Budget Plan on Tuesday, June 28, 2022 at 8:00 a.m. in the Aspen Room of the Shasta County Office of Education.

Dear Redding School District Families, I would like to thank our families for the continued support and efforts to put childrens' needs in front of your own. We at the Redding School District know that it has been difficult at times to continue with the many processes that the State of California has put in place for us to follow in regards to COVID-19. It is with a heartfelt thank you for your continued support regardless of your personal choices. It’s during times like this where we have the opportunity to lead with kindness and be at our best to serve others. There are those who feel that wearing a mask gives no benefit and there are those who feel it provides them safety. We are a district that works very hard to work with all of our families. On February 15th, tomorrow, the indoor mask requirement will end for vaccinated individuals while in many public spaces outside of school. While this does not mean a change for schools, it is understandable the difficulties this makes for families and perhaps some confusion for students. The announcement today by Dr. Mark Ghaly, Secretary of California Health and Human Services, did not specifically end the masking mandate for schools, but it did give us a date, February 28, 2022, to know that a change is coming if the data continues to track down as they predict. It seems that masking will be optional in the near future. We need to work together to provide a school environment that is safe for all. California is still emphasizing safety measures in schools. We ask for your patience in maneuvering through the mask mandate in our schools. We still need to wear masks at school and that disappoints some and gives relief to others. Let us continue to partner together in keeping kids in school as California is moving towards a change in COVID-19 school guidance. Children need to be in school. Please help us work together on this. School staff are community members who hold a wide range of beliefs and are also professional educators who are obligated to follow the rules and laws that they are given. Let us honor school staff by recognizing that as public employees, they follow the guidance provided by the State of California. Again, thank you for your continued efforts to help keep our schools a location of learning. We want to focus our daily efforts on planning and implementing great instruction each day. Robert Adams Superintendent

Sycamore Elementary has received enough take-home test kits for all students. We had a handout day on Monday, January 10, 2022. If you could not make the drive-up distribution on Monday, you are welcome to stop by our office to pickup while supplies last.

Dear Redding Families, The winter season is upon us and the sounds of holiday cheer float in the air. Wishing you a wonderful time with family and friends during the upcoming break and a safe time as you celebrate the joy of the season with your family. The Redding School District continues its commitment to in-person instruction across our schools. I would like to express gratitude to all of our families and students throughout our district for your unyielding support as we work hard to put students at the center of our decisions.
