Thank You, OSPTO!
Interim Fair Success
Today at lunch, students enjoyed a fun Interim Fair where they supported interims and clubs by enjoying a wide array of treats. See photos below!
Ramadan
As some students will observe Ramadan, March 23-April 21, it’s important for us, as a school, to be mindful of religious practices that may take place during this time, including fasting and designated times of prayer. If your student needs additional support during this time, please contact the office, as the staff is here to help.
The JUHSD Food Services Department, upon request, will provide take-home lunches for students needing to eat at a later time in the day, along with signage messaging this, at each of the cafeteria registers.
As always, please reach out to OHS Principal Martiza Torres, (650) 550-7301 with any questions or concerns you may have.
