Our meetings are scheduled for Monday, September 26, October 24, January 30, March 13, April 24, and May 22. The meetings begin at 3:00 and last no more than an hour.

If interested, please email Erin Rosselli at erosselli@orangeusd.org.

This week’s games of the week are Ultimate Ball and Snake Game, and the focus is courage. Courage is your ability to make good choices even when you are afraid or faced with a difficult situation. Courage is when you do not let fear hold you back from trying something new or doing the right thing.

If you are interested in being a room parent, please contact your teacher or email Mrs. Rosselli at erosselli@orangeusd.org. You will be contacted in a few weeks about the position and responsibilities if you are the room parent.

The PTA would greatly appreciate parents filling out the PTA Volunteer Availability form that was sent home last Friday and can be accessed via the QR code below. You can take a picture of the filled-out form and send it to panoramapta@gmail.com or drop it in the red PTA mailbox in the office. As a little incentive, all those who turn in their form will be entered to win a backpack filled with previous years' spirit wear.

Please visit our PTA webstore to purchase your PTA membership, donate to our enrichment fund, and pre-order spirit wear and yearbooks.

Section 5 of Article IX of the State of California Constitution guarantees students a "free public education." The State Supreme Court concluded in the 1984 case of Hartzell v. Connell, "that all educational activities carried on by public school districts, extra-curricular as well as curricula, must be without cost to the students who participate in such activities." This same ruling found that "mandatory fees for participating in such extra-curricular activities as drama, music, and athletic competition were illegal under the State Constitution." Furthermore, they also rejected the argument that "fees could be charged so long as the district waived fees for students who were financially unable to pay." Recent proposed legislation includes reimbursement with interest for any illegally-collected fees as well as a district sanction.
