Changes to S.O.A.R. Cluster 2023-24

After a review of district needs, we have determined that we will NOT be adding any incoming sixth graders to the S.O.A.R. cluster at Pacific Crest Middle School next school year, 2023-24. The current cohort of students will continue to be served.  Additionally, we will be expanding to a full continuum of support at Pacific Crest Middle School moving forward, starting with students in grade six only.  If you have any questions, please reach out directly to our office.
