Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

What if I want to reach my child during the school day?
We want our students to be engaged in their learning. If you need to contact your child during the school day, contact the main office at (530) 846-6721. The office will relay any messages that may be urgent in nature to students for school hours.

What if there is a school emergency?
In case of a school emergency, we direct our students to safety first, following our school emergency preparedness protocol. We do recognize that cell phones can be a safety/security tool as mentioned; however, they can be a detriment in the event of a real building emergency. They often can impede our protocols to manage such emergencies in a safe and effective manner. With this said, student phones can be accessed quickly in case of an emergency.

Will my student’s phone be safe?
Students are in possession of their phone - in their Yondr pouch - for the entire school day. We will advise students to store the pouch in their backpacks where it is completely safe.

What if the Yondr pouch gets damaged or a student is caught on their phone?
The Yondr pouch is property of Esperanza High School. If a student damages their Pouch or is caught on their phone,
Administration will collect the phone/Pouch and call home for a Parent Pickup.

● In the event of any tampering or damage to the pouch, a $24 fee will also be owed.
