Dear Cienega Families,
November is a great time of year to pause from our busy lives, take a moment to reflect, and be thankful.
Thank you for entrusting us with your children. It truly is wonderful showing up to work everyday to help shape the lives of over 2000 teenagers.
We are thankful for our Bobcat Family here at Cienega High School. Our teachers and staff are some of the most hardworking, dedicated, school-spirit filled people around. Working beside people we respect and trust is priceless!

PAPER CUT
|
Our Technology Office has made it easier for students to print this year with direct integration with Chrome but it has one flaw. Students under the new system don't have any obvious way to check their balance or even know they have a limit. All students get 40 free pages per school year. Additional pages can be purchased in the library for 8 cents a page or 15 pages for a $1. They now have a website for them to check their balances.
Students just use their District login and then their balance is right in front. |
