Welcome

It is with great pride that I welcome you to Bear River School. At all hours of the day and night, the school is alive with the sound of people working, learning, playing, laughing and enjoying all kinds of educational activities. Bear River School hosts an exceptional staff that creates a safe, caring environment and works to ensure the academic success of every child. We are proud of th

e accomplishments made by our students, and much of their success has come from high expectations paired with effective instructional skills and layers of intervention. In addition, we believe that education is a partnership that includes you, your children, and our staff. We provide outstanding teachers, a caring and supportive staff, and a safe, fun, and rigorous learning environment for your child(ren). As our partners, we need you to instill in your child(ren) the value of education. Some of the best ways to do this are making sure your child(ren) arrive(s) each day on time and ready to learn, helping them with homework, and talking with them about ideas and topics that they're studying in school. Bear River is your school. I want you to feel that you are a welcome and an integral part of this learning community. Get involved! Time invested with your child(ren) at home and at school pays off in huge dividends. The more you participate, the more you and your child(ren) will benefit from school. I strongly encourage you to volunteer as a classroom tutor, library, or computer lab aide, and chaperone on field trips. Please contact your classroom teacher or call the school for more information on ways that you can get involved. If there is something going on that you feel may impact your child's success or focus at school, please communicate with your child's teacher, myself, or Mr. Guzman. We are all here to support you and your student in the pursuit of excellence. As always, we appreciate your support and look forward to working with your family this year to meet your child(ren)'s needs. Here's to a new year of learning and growing together! Angela Gouker
Principal

Dear WSD Families,

We want to keep you informed regarding a matter affecting our community. Overnight, Wheatland Union High School received another call/threat connected to the ongoing series of suspicious calls affecting schools in our area.

Out of an abundance of caution, all campuses have maintained enhanced security measures overnight, and existing safety protocols have remained in place throughout. We have been in close communication with local law enforcement regarding this situation.

At this time, all campuses within Wheatland remain open and are operating on their normal daily schedules.
Staff and administrators remain vigilant, and we continue to work closely with law enforcement to monitor the situation. Your children's safety is our top priority.

We will continue to keep our community informed as more information becomes available. If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to your school's front office. In addition, if you have any leads on the caller, please contact us immediately. We are still actively pursuing this individual.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership in keeping our schools safe.

Sincerely,
Angela Gouker
Superintendent

Dear Falcon Families,

I am writing to inform you of an incident that occurred today involving a student bringing a knife on campus.

During a scheduled security search, staff discovered that a student was in possession of a knife. I want to emphasize that the knife was intercepted before the student reached the regular campus, and at no time was it displayed, used, or was any threat made toward another person. Our safety protocols worked exactly as intended, and there was no danger to students or staff at any point during this incident.

The student involved is being held accountable in accordance with our student code of conduct and district discipline policies. Because this is a student disciplinary matter, we are not able to share further details out of respect for student privacy.

I want to reassure you that your children's safety remains our highest priority. Our staff followed established procedures promptly and effectively.

If your student has questions or concerns about this incident, especially in light of all that has been going on, please know that our counseling staff are available to talk with them. Parents with questions are welcome to contact the school office at 530-633-3135.

Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our school community safe.

Sincerely,

Justin Guzman
Principal

Wheatland School District and Wheatland Union High School District Families

Good morning,

Our security precautions remained in place overnight, and we received no new calls. All schools in both districts are open today on normal schedules, and we are looking forward to a regular Friday.

Staff will continue to keep a watchful eye and stay vigilant.

This has been a long week for our community. Our families adjusted plans, our staff turned on a dime again and again, and our students handled a lot of uncertainty with real grace. Our thanks as well to the Wheatland Police Department, the Yuba County Sheriff’s Office, and every agency that showed up for our kids this week.

We are glad to simply say: we can’t wait to see everyone at school today!

Have a great Friday.
