Blue Oak Updates
- 🎉 End of Year - We have A LOT of fun end of year activities this last week of school. Make sure to scroll all the way to the "Save the Date!" section so you don't miss anything.
- 💙 Last Day of School - BOLT has planned for this to be Hawaiian Day! Students are encouraged to dress like they are ready for a Hawaiian vacation! Kona Ice will also be here for students who would like to purchase a cool treat after school. The truck will be parked in the front parking lot. Please be aware we will probably have more traffic in the parking lot on the last day due to this.
- 🍩 End of Year Thank You - PTA has planned a breakfast bar for our staff to celebrate the end of the school year. If you are interested in donating items for this, please sign-up here.
- 👩🏻⚕️ Summer Health and Medi-Cal Info - Please see this Summer Health Information and Medi-Cal information if interested.
- ☀️ Summer Learning - Clever will be open most of summer. This is our online portal for accessing our online curriculums. One way you can keep the learning going for your student over summer is having them log onto Clever and spend some time working on Lexia Core5 (reading skills) and iReady My Path (math skills). Also, keep reading to your child or having them read daily and keeping a journal can help with practicing writing skills.
- ✔️ Parent Survey - We are still winning! ; ) If you have not already done so, please follow this link to complete the survey. If you print the final page and send it to school with your child we will give them a Pizza Factory coupon as a thank you for completing the survey.
- 🍴 Buckeye Food Services - Information regarding Food Services can be viewed here.
- 🎂 Birthday Marquee - Interested in celebrating your child's birthday with marquee recognition? Ask the office for the paperwork and $20 donation.

Attendance Questions Answered
1. What is considered an Excused Absence?
By law [EC § 48205], excused absences are: illness [(fever 100° or more, persistent runny nose (not allergy related), vomiting, diarrhea, medical/dental appointments (doctor’s note required for verification)], death in the family, specific religious reasons, required appearance in court, and exclusion from school for contagious disease.
2. What can I do if my child needs to be out of school for a length of time?
If your child must go out of town for three (3) or more days, you may request that your child is signed up for an Independent Study Contract. Please note that teachers need at least one week’s notice in order to prepare materials without interrupting their instructional time.
3. I called in to verify my child's absence; why am I still getting truancy letters?
Unless the absence was for an excused reason (those stated in point #1), the absence is considered unexcused and truancy letters will be sent in accordance with Education Code of the State of California [EC § 48260-48273]. Ed Code states that any pupil who is absent from school for 3 days or more without a valid excuse (reasons specified in point #1), or tardy in excess of 30 minutes or more, is considered truant.
