Weekly Community Updates - December 9, 2022
Dear Students and Families,
I hope everyone is staying as warm and dry as possible! This week, students had their first interim advisory. They were able to get to know their interim teacher and other students in their class. They may have received a donation letter and/or permission letter for parent/guardian to sign. Participating in interim is at no cost to the student. However, if you can donate, it is how Oceana is able to offer the variety of interim options for students and any little helps. At this time, we can only accept donations as cash or a check to Oceana High School.
Seniors' first 8am deadline is this Wednesday 12/14. Students should be revising their context, claim 1 and claim 2 essays to turn in their first major draft of their senior exhibition for their mentor's feedback. The 8am is a hard deadline and students are encouraged to turn in their paper the day before through the senior exhibition google classroom.
I hope every has a great weekend.
Take care,
Maritza Torres
