As we move forward together following the recent decision to close Shasta Middle School at the end of the 2025–26 school year. We know this decision brings many emotions and questions for students, families, and staff. Shasta has been a special place for generations, and we want to acknowledge the deep sense of connection so many of you feel to this school community.

As we begin this transition, our goal is to communicate clearly, listen closely, and support your family every step of the way. We will share monthly updates as planning continues and will provide multiple opportunities for families to offer feedback, ask questions, and stay informed.
