Scholastic Book Fair
We're having a book fair! Come check out the Scholastic Book Fair from March 4th-7th at our on-campus program.

Share each child's eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy.
If you can't make it to the Fair, then shop at our school's Book Fair online. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Every online purchase will also benefit our school.
Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping.

Save the Date: One Pill Can Kill Parent Night
Mark your calendars! On Monday, March 11th, we will have the One Pill Can Kill Student and Parent Assemblies on campus. Students grades 6-8 will have their assembly in the morning, and ALL families are welcome/encouraged to attend the parent assembly in the evening from 6 to 8 pm.
In 2022, Placer County launched the 1 Pill Can Kill Placer campaign with the hopes of educating our community on the dangers of fentanyl. With the understanding that these key conversations start at home, the campaign joined with the Placer County District Attorney’s Office to add parent informational meetings to their Speakers Bureau Program.  
WHAT TO EXPECT
The information meeting, led by the Placer County District Attorney’s Office, utilizes compassionate storytelling, partnering with local parents who have lost a child to fentanyl, as well as local health professionals. The topics include:  
  • What trends the District Attorney’s Office is seeing locally and nationwide 
  • What is a  fake prescription pill 
  • How our children are being targeted on social media  
  • Local stories of young lives lost to the fentanyl crisis 
  • The new category of victim 
  • How the county is addressing this issue 
  • Tips on how to talk to your children about the issue  
  • How to proactively identify a problem 
  • Resources and more 
WHO SHOULD ATTEND 
EVERYONE. The fentanyl crisis is affecting families from every walk of life. It is affecting the local athlete, the student who is prepping for upcoming exams, the kids struggling with ADHD, the otherwise “good” kid and more. This crisis does not discriminate. If you have a child, this session is for you.  
WHAT WE HOPE YOU TAKE AWAY  
We hope this session opens the lines of communication with your children on the fentanyl crisis. At this point, your student has most likely heard of fentanyl and has probably sat in one of our student assemblies. We hope this information meeting will give you the tools to continue the conversation with your kids at home. We all have our part in ending this crisis, together.

  • Practices will typically be held on Mondays & Wednesdays at Newcastle Elementary School at 2:45 (we will be using their gym space, not combining teams)
  • Games will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:45 (our home court will be at Alta Dutch Flat Elementary School)
Mrs. Paige Staton will be coaching the team this year. We're looking forward to a fun inaugural season!

Comprehensive School Safety Plan

The California Constitution guarantees California children the right to attend public schools that are safe, secure, and peaceful. The CDE, public school districts, county offices of education (COEs), and schools and their personnel are responsible for creating learning environments that are safe and secure. First responders, community partners, and families play an essential role, as well. Schools must be prepared to respond to emergencies including natural and man-made hazards, and strive to prevent violence and behavior issues that undermine safety and security. CSSPs include strategies aimed at the prevention of, and education about, potential incidents involving crime and violence on the school campus and aspects of social, emotional, and physical safety for both youth and adults.
On 2/2/2024 our board of directors passed the latest Comprehensive School Safety Plan for Harvest Ridge.

School Accountability Report Card (SARC) Now Available
Harvest Ridge Cooperative Charter School's School Accountability Report Card has been published and is available for review here (this can also be found on the home page of our website).
Since November 1988, state law has required that schools receiving state funding to prepare and distribute a SARC. A similar requirement is also contained in the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The purpose of the report card is to provide parents and the community with important information about each school. A SARC can be an effective way for a school to report on its progress in achieving goals. The public may also use a SARC to evaluate and compare schools on a variety of indicators.
Although there is great variation in the design of school report cards, they generally begin with a profile that provides background information about the school and its students. The profile usually summarizes the school's mission, goals, and accomplishments. State law requires that the SARC contain all of the following:
  • Demographic data
  • School safety and climate for learning information
  • Academic data
  • School completion rates
  • Class sizes
  • Teacher and staff information
  • Curriculum and instruction descriptions
  • Postsecondary preparation information
  • Fiscal and expenditure data
Find more information about the SARC from the California Department of Education here.
