Dear Ishi Hills Parents and Guardians,
Although we have worked through the struggles with Covid-19, I am relieved to see our youth back on campus. It has developed in me more patience, understanding and flexibility. I imagine all of us have grown in character this past year. I am so blessed to be the Ishi Hills principal.
Attendance is important, but your health comes first. We would like to remind families to take an extra measure of care when deciding to send your children to school. If they have a temperature, a cough or do not feel well, please make the decision on the side of caution to keep them home to be safe for others and yourselves. Healthy families and staff members is our top priority.
Our success to bring this school year to a strong finish will take all of us working as a TEAM. We are 100 percent committed in sharing the value of learning and social and emotional wellness. On June 2, we will have a drive-through 2021 Promotion ceremony this year. We are still secure the location and details will follow. Please know that we are inviting all of our 8th graders to participate in the ceremony to honor the challenges they have endured in the past years. However, it is important to note that we will consider behavior as a criteria to participate. So, tell your 8th grader that they simply need to continue learning and being a positive member of our academic environment.
I will do my best to stay connected and inform you of any changes made to our schedules. Now more than ever it is vital that you read your Ishi Hills Facebook page and Oroville City Elementary School District website page and emails for updates on current information
If you have any questions, you can reach me directly anytime at 990-0160. Please, be safe and have a wonderful month!

Responding to Absenteeism During the Coronavirus Pandemic & Beyond
Please call the office for all absences. It is important for our team to mark your child's absence accurately: sick, doctor, WiFi, and other. 530-532-3078.
*Changes to absences must be made within five (5) school days according to AR5113(b). After this time elapses, the absence will remain unexcused.
Live Spot
I wanted to share again the Live Spot as a resource for students who may need a place to go to during the day for support with their schooling. We are open 8-5:30pm and offer WiFi and breakfast/lunch free of charge. If you have any students who are in need right now due to displacement relating to the fires and evacuations send them our way. Here’s our webpage with more info:

We just ask that they register in advance so that we know the numbers to expect and can prepare food and ensure proper social distance spacing accordingly. The link is on the webpage.
Thank you!

Axiom in Oroville
This week and next week, students at our local school districts are going back to in-person learning. The schools are releasing students at various times, earlier than typically, so the need for expanded Axiom hours still exists. Starting April 19th, Axiom will be open 12-5 Monday-Friday. For those still doing distance learning, we will be available in the morning by reservation only.
Students going back to in-person learning will likely mean an increase in attendance and activity at Axiom. We are excited to get back to normal for the final part of this school year.
We've used the past several months to help students develop healthy learning habits, time management and build meaningful relationships with the young people as they're with us all day long.
During this transition to full-time in-person learning, we are offering students free "back to school" school supplies and clothes. Students can stop in during our regular hours from 12-5 to get their needs materials for free from Axiom
