Students who are taking the ELPAC exam need to bring their fully charged Chromebook to school on testing days.  Their Chromebook must be updated before testing (instructions below).

Please contact Assistant Principal Shannon Erby if you have any questions.

Italian Culture Comes Alive in Napa Valley

On January 28, 28 students in the  Italian students traded the classroom for the hills of Napa Valley, thanks to the generous support of the J. C. Riccio Grant and ICS  and to the support of Fondazione Italia who generously offered the bus. This immersive field trip brought Italian history and tradition to life through two iconic stops:

• Castello di Amorosa: Students explored a faithful replica of a medieval Italian castle. A guided tour of the architecture gave students a tangible connection to the history they’ve studied, with many remarking it was the closest they had ever felt to being in Italy.

• Pic-Nic Area: The group enjoyed an al fresco panino buffet featuring authentic Italian cheeses and cured meats. The lunch emphasized the central role of food and shared community in Italian culture.

Beyond the sights and flavors, the Riccio Grant and ICS continue to foster a deep sense of pride within our Italian Club Program. We are grateful for this support, which helps our students build memories and connections that extend far beyond the classroom.
