Sierra House Elementary serves approximately 400 students, reflecting the rich diversity of our South Lake Tahoe community. Our attendance boundary extends from Stateline to Golden Bear and includes the Bijou and Al Tahoe neighborhoods.
This year, Sierra House is proud to be home to two Special Education classrooms, serving students with unique needs. These students and their families are an integral and valued part of our Sierra House family.
A Culture of Kindness
Kindness is woven into everything we do at Sierra House. Students are recognized for demonstrating kindness—whether in the classroom, on the bus, at recess, or anywhere else on campus. Our school counselor supports this effort by:
-
Creating weekly videos for morning meetings
-
Providing whole-class lessons
-
Leading small group sessions
These efforts help foster a welcoming and supportive school community for all.
Health & Fitness: Our School Theme
Our school theme is Health and Fitness with a focus on mountain sports. Thanks to our partnership with Heavenly and Vail Resorts through the Epic Promise Grant, all 4th and 5th graders have the opportunity to spend 2–3 days skiing or snowboarding each year. The grant provides lift tickets, coaching, and equipment rentals—an incredible opportunity for students to experience the mountain and build confidence both on the slopes and in themselves.
Additional fitness opportunities include:
We are grateful for these partnerships and the unique experiences they provide our students.
