To make the last week before winter break a little bit more special for our students and staff, we will have a Winter Spirit week next week. Please see below for the dress up days and activities.

Parents, please help us inform our future budgets by taking the LCAP survey. You can find the survey at this link: https://ocde.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e2tPTKGxbhB58YC?Survey=Parent

Please see below for this week's updates. Have a great weekend!

Best,

Mrs. Van Wilgen Moore

Principal

We are so excited to have the opportunity to increase the opportunity to recognize students throughout the entire school year. We will announce January Panther Pride Students of the Month the week of January 24th with their names on the marquee by the end of that week. To learn more about Panther PRIDE Awards, you can visit page 4 of our AHES handbook.

Thank you!

OUSD has increased the number of volunteers we are able to have on campus each day to 15 approved volunteers a day to support essential activities and learning experiences for our students. Parent volunteers must complete the HR paperwork and get cleared before coming onto campus.

Vaccinations are required to start the process and to be cleared as a volunteer to comply with CDPH guidance for volunteers.

For those parents interested in volunteering on campus please complete the proper form below:

Volunteer Forms Over 5 hours per week

Volunteer Forms Under 5 hours per week

Once you are an approved volunteer, you can reach out to your child's teacher to see if there are any essential volunteer support needs for your child's classroom. Only cleared and pre-scheduled volunteers will be able to participate in volunteer opportunities.

Thank you!

K-12 OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR THE 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR

OPEN FROM JANUARY 17-31, 2022

Open Enrollment is for students who would like to attend a school other than their home school, assigned based upon their area of residence. You may find your "home" school by looking up your address at SchoolLocator at http://apps.schoolsitelocator.com/?districtcode=57964.

Open Enrollment applications for K-12 grades will be available online between January 17-January 31, 2022. Please complete your online application during this time period. Schools will have computers available for your convenience. Fill out your application completely and submit one application per school that you would like to attend. You may submit an application to as many schools as you like, one application per school.

Open Enrollment closes on January 31, 2022 at 4:00 P.M. School sites will hold a lottery and notify families of their lottery number, beginning February 03, 2022. Once the number of openings in a school is determined, the school will start notifying families, starting with the first person on the list and offer them a spot in their school. Parents may accept or deny the offer. If denied the school will move on to the next person on the list and parents may not change their mind once they have denied.

If you wish to request Open Enrollment for the current school year, please contact Student and Community Services at 714-628-5424.
