Riding the Wave of Excellence!
May 14, 2023
Happy Mother's Day! We wish all moms, step moms, adoptive moms, pet moms and kinship moms a day filled with joy.
This was an exciting week! We want to thank every parent and student for the thoughtful appreciation notes, time, and care it took in creating your expressions of gratitude. A special thanks to all the PTO parents that provided their time and creativity to decorate our lounge and bring goodies for our teachers and staff each day this week. We feel loved!
Also a special thanks to our 4th and 5th grade students and Mr. McHenry for another phenomenal concert. We encourage our students to continue participating in music class next year. Be sure to check out this video captured by Mr. E!
How were our TK and Kindergarten students engaged in learning this week? Students in TK are counting up a storm! They use thieir calendar to count and keep track of school days and they show pride in their math skills. Our Kindergartners have been working all year on becoming avid readers and develop independence. They are also helping our earth by learning about and taking care of their plants (see pictures below)

OUSD NEWS
OPD Traffic Support at all OUSD Schools
Starting this week, you may be seeing an increase in police presence around our schools. Oceanside Police Officers will go by schools during drop off and pick-ups to monitor traffic. They cannot be at every school daily but will rotate around the city. This will not be a mandatory enforcement detail but an observation, education, and last resort, enforcement. We want everyone to be safe, especially around our schools and we appreciate our partnership with OPD.
