TRANSPORTATION UPDATE: "Good afternoon, We hope this message finds you safe and well. Due to the fire-related evacuations that have been ordered, Bret Harte transportation routes have been altered. Students that were to be dropped off in evacuated areas will instead be dropped off at Feeney Park in Murphys. Because of this change, our planned drop-off times will also be disrupted and may take longer than normal. This will be for both the regular bus routes and the late bus routes. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Bret Harte Transportation Office at 209-736-2067, or the Bret Harte Main Office at 209-736-8339. We hope that this will be the only alteration to our transportation schedule, but we may need to change the schedule due to continuing conditions." - Jacob Holt, principal

Cell phones may only be used during class time when specifically authorized by a teacher or staff member for educational purposes. We ask for your partnership in reinforcing this expectation with your child. Please note that repeated cell phone violations will result in a parent/guardian meeting with a school administrator to develop a cell phone contract. Thank you for your continued support.
