Welcome Back, Rancho Families!

We hope you all had a wonderful, restful Thanksgiving break filled with delicious food and quality time with loved ones. It will be so good to have our students back in the hallways!

As we turn the calendar to December, we are jumping right into the holiday spirit. The campus is buzzing with excitement as we kick off a very busy and festive week at Rancho. From shopping for treasures to singing reindeer, here is everything you need to know for the week ahead.

The Holiday Shop is Open!

Dates: Monday, Dec. 1 – Friday, Dec. 5 Time: 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM Daily Location: PTO Room

The Holiday Shop is a cherished tradition that gives students the independent opportunity to shop for family members, friends, or even a little treat for themselves. To keep the surprise alive, all gifts will be placed in special gift bags!

Important Reminders for Parents:

  • CASH ONLY: Please ensure your student brings cash if they intend to make a purchase.
