Project Description
Sierra Lower School of Sacramento
Sierra Lower School of Sacramento is a nonpublic, special education school that serves students from Kindergarten through 8th grade and utilizes a unique academic model and our new B.E.S.T. Model, an effective positive behavior management system and multiple mental health techniques to increase academic awareness, develop social skills and cultivate proper classroom behavior in each of our students. Our goal is to work along side the student to improve academic and social success so that the student can return to a least restrictive setting.
Our dedicated staff and teachers are committed to the growth and safety of each student. Learn more about our staff’s Pro-ACT intervention certification today. We are available to answer any questions you might have about this certification.
Our Students
Students are referred by their school district to attend Sierra School and are generally in grades K–8 (aged 5 to 14). They face disabilities in a variety of areas, including Autism, Intellectual Disability, Emotional Disability, Multiple Disabilities, Speech and Language Disabilities, Other Health Impairments, Speech and Language Impairment, and more.
Our Staff
We are proud to employ certified special education teachers, marriage and family therapists, a speech therapist, and provide occupational therapy.
The clubs also build a sense of community within the student body. Student Government, for example, is responsible for planning our monthly “Big Event,” whereas the Art Club might be responsible for providing the decorations. The different clubs therefore work together to accomplish a joint goal, and this kind of interaction and collaboration provides limitless—and priceless!—opportunities for our students to learn and grow. Overall, the Sierra School’s Responsibility Clubs give Sierra students a chance to participate in enriching activities while joyfully exploring their own personal strengths and preferences. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved!
