Summer School Clerk Session 2

Originally established in 1881, Junction School is a TK-through-8th grade elementary school, with a preschool on site, serving approximately 350 students in the community of Palo Cedro. Palo Cedro is a rural community within Shasta County that provides a natural setting for Junction School highlighted by wide open spaces, oak trees, agriculture, dark night skies, creeks and wildlife. Views of snow-capped volcanoes such as Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen provide just some of the breathtaking scenery that students enjoy as they learn and play outdoors on Junction's sprawling campus. The definition of the word junction is, "a point where two or more things are joined." Junction School is truly a "junction" where staff, parents, and the Palo Cedro community join together for the good of our students. Junction School is greatly supported by local businesses, law enforcement, fire department, and other first responders. Junction School is also supported by a highly engaged parent community that supplies hundreds of volunteers and tens of thousands of fundraising dollars annually to bolster programs that enhance the learning and development of our students. Junction School also partners with local organizations, providing four baseball fields, four soccer fields, a gymnasium, theater and track and field facilities for community use. Junction School offers students a core curriculum that includes, math, reading, writing, science and social studies. Additionally, students are offered elective courses such as P.E., art, theater, band, and STEM. Students are also encouraged to develop their academic skills along with teamwork and leadership by participating in student council, robotics, book club, guitar/rock band and a variety of fall, winter and spring sports. Teachers and instructional aides provide high quality instruction and low adult-to-student ratios while 1-to-1 devices provide students access to dozens of highly regarded, research-based online programs. Students' mental and emotional health is enhanced by a school counselor and a school psychologist and students needing intervention beyond the classroom have access to a resource specialist and a special day class.
