Santa Margarita
Family Newsletter for the Week of August 24, 2020
Message From the Principal
I hope you all enjoyed a relaxing and restorative weekend with your families. I want to congratulate you again on a job well done last week! Your patience and perseverance was greatly appreciated. As we embark on week two of Virtual Learning, we ask that you continue to be gentle with yourselves and others, especially when it comes to challenges with technology and connectivity. Know that your teachers and district officials are working tirelessly to make the adjustments needed to give our students an optimal learning experience.
To support our learning community, OUSD has created a Virtual Learning Website full of resources and troubleshooting tips. We are also hosting daily virtual technology workshops this week, to assist families with the use of our learning platforms and instructional programs. For more information, visit the Santa Margarita website or submit the Parent/Family Academy Interest Survey.
In order to ensure all our families have access to virtual instruction, please take a moment to complete this short contact form: bit.ly/ousd-connect. Even if you have sufficient household Internet access, please take the time to complete this form so that we know 100% of our families are connected.
This Friday, at 2:30pm, our PTSA will host the first "Spirit Friday" of the school year. The event will be held via a drive-through format, in the Santa Margarita parking lot. Details are listed below. Don't forget to ask our PTSA board members how you can get connected and support our upcoming Boosterthon Fundraiser.
As always, should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our front office at (760) 901-7900 or email me directly at teresa.richmond@oside.us.
Your partner in learning,
Mrs. Richmond
