Students who cannot attend Kickoff Day to get a picture taken will have the opportunity to do so during the school day on Photo Retake Days.

The yearbook dedicates a special featured section for seniors, and only includes the senior portraits taken at formal sittings with O'Connor Brothers photography. Seniors must schedule their senior portrait session by calling the studio at 805-306-9542.
For questions, please visit the O'Connor Brothers homepage... send an email... or call at (805) 306-9542
CLASS SCHEDULES
Students will receive what is called a "Locator" at Kickoff. This is not the student's official schedule. It is simply a list of classes the student will be enrolled in when the fall semester begins. The order of classes and teachers will not be included on the locator.
Final schedules will be available in the Aeries portal on the evening of Tuesday, August 10th. At that time, students will be able to see the order of classes and teachers. The first period class will also be posted on the morning of the first day. Students will receive a hard copy of their complete schedules during first period.
STUDENT ACCOUNT HOLDS
This is time sensitive and should be cleared up prior to attending Kickoff Day.
Students who have not completed the following will need to clear a hold on their account prior to getting locators, textbooks, or lockers.
1. The information in the Aeries portal has not been confirmed and/or updated. If a family has not already confirmed the information in Aeries, this will need to be done before the student can pick up their locators. From a computer or laptop, simply login to the Aeries portal and follow the prompts to confirm the information is up-to-date. Note: Please use a computer. The system has difficulty working through a smart phone. If you previously have set up an account you will not need an authorization code.
The Aeries System is our primary tool of communication for families. It is required that all families complete the data confirmation in the Aeries portal before the start of school.
Click here for directions to complete this process. For questions, please contact Mr. Dobson. Aeries assistance will be available in the Library during Kickoff Week.
2. Students who have a balance on their ASB or library accounts need to be cleared through the ASB office or the Library prior to acquiring lockers and textbooks.
