Mission Elementary
Riding the Wave of Excellence!
January 15, 2023
We started the first week of this second semester noticing how much students grow in just three weeks! Everyone seemed a couple of inches taller, much more curious, and prepared to grow even more in their learning. We welcome this growth mindset as we honor the memory, leadership, and influence of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. School will be closed on Monday, January 15 in remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Thank you to all the parents that attended our Coffee with the Principal this week. We look forward to the next time!

OUSD NEWS
INTRADISTRICT TRANSFER OPEN ENROLLMENT
OUSD students attend their school of residence based on their address; in order to attend another school in our school district, parents and guardians must request an intradistrict transfer.
The open enrollment period will end at 3:30 p.m. on March 31st for those wishing to apply for an intradistrict transfer for the 2023-2024 school year.
If your child is currently on an intradistrict transfer and will be attending the same school next year, you do not need to reapply. Students entering transitional kindergarten, 6th and 9th grade, need to apply for an intradistrict transfer if they wish to attend any school other than their school of residence.
All applications are viewed based on priority criteria and school capacity. Please fill out the online application or for more information visit this Student Services web page.
