Curriculum and Instruction
K-2 Daily SIPPS Instruction. Foundational skills is apart of the general curriculum for students in lower grades and we deliver that instruction through SIPPS. At this point in the school year, all students in grades K-2 should be receiving SIPPS instruction daily. By the end of February, students should have taken at least 6 tests to date.
Black History Month
Celebrate Black History Month with a curated online bookshelf that features affirming stories that authentically articulate history and elevate Black voices. To read books on Sora, students and staff will need to sign-in using their OUSD accounts (username: s_firstname.lastname@ousd.org password: Student ID#). Please reach out to trish.belenson@ousd.org for Sora login assistance.
