TOHS Green Sheet

Hello Lancer Families!

This weekend's Green Sheet message is geared toward our families of Freshmen students. Earlier in the month, CVUSD sent families a message regarding the sexual harassment training that ALL 9th grade students must complete each year. Here is the copy of the message:

In the Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD), we are committed to providing every student with access to a safe and respectful learning environment. Our dedicated teachers, school counselors, wellness staff, and administrators work together to prevent and address bullying, racism, discrimination, intimidation, and harassment—including sexual harassment.

Required Online Learning Module (Grades 9-12)

As part of our continued efforts to educate students and support safe schools, all 9th grade CVUSD students will be required to complete an online learning model on sexual harassment. Last school year, all CVUSD high school students were required to complete this module. This is a 28-minute online learning module provided by Vector Solutions. Students will be notified of this requirement on September 7th, 2026 , and must complete this online module on their own and by no later than September 31, 2026. Students must also complete a 12 question post-assessment and receive a passing score.

There are four main sections to the module, which include: (1) What is Sexual Harassment, (2) What Does Sexual Harassment Look Like, (3) The Role of Power and Consent in Sexual Harassment, and (4) Stopping Sexual Harassment.

Parents/guardians can preview the entire online module here. You will be prompted to create a username and password, but no personal information (i.e. phone number, email address) is required. Unlike the student version, this parent/guardian preview will allow you to scroll through the modules for ease.

On September 7th, 2026, students will be notified of this requirement and the online module will be made available in their Classlink account. We strongly encourage all parents/guardians to participate alongside their child(ren) when they complete the module, and for families to discuss together their values and expectations about this important topic.

Parent/Guardian Opt-Out

This online module includes some content that is part of the California Healthy Youth Act (Education Code §§ 51933–51934), such as learning about healthy relationships, responsible decision-making, and information on sexual harassment and assault. The module also includes an optional and anonymous post-course survey provided by Vector Solutions, in which parents/guardians may review the questions in advance here.

In accordance with California law, parents/guardians may request that their child be excused from this online module. To do so, please provide a written request to Danielle Oliveri, TOHS Assistant Principal of Instruction.

Reporting Sexual Harassment

CVUSD strives for all students to feel safe and supported in reporting concerns. Students and parents/guardians can submit reports confidentially through WeTip by text or phone at (844-805-3649), or by using the online form here available on all school websites, and on Title IX posters in secondary schools. The reporting link is also available as an app icon in the student Classlink portal. Reports may also be made directly to local law enforcement, including the Thousand Oaks Police Department at (805-494-8200, non-emergency dispatch line).

Additional information about complaint procedures is available here.

Thank you for partnering with us to build school communities where every student feels safe, valued, and supported.

If you have any questions about this requirement, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Remember, 9th graders have until September 31st to complete the training. If your student has already completed the training, thank you!

Thanks for all you do to support our school,

Eric

Dr. Eric Bergmann, Principal

#BleedGreen

Charles Darwin's famous pet Galápagos tortoise, named Harriet, died on June 23, 2006, at an estimated age of 175 to 176 years old.

TOHS is committed to the core values that are spelled out in spelled out in the Lancer Way. This is what we expect of our students each and every day.

Samantha Case, Ceramics

Samantha has started off our year in Ceramics incredible strong. She's been diligently working on her projects and taking extra time during free periods to get even more done. I've been impressed by her work ethic and her willingness to learn by doing. When she doesn't like something, she isn't afraid to start again and make it even better. It's been great getting to watch her work, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what else she's able to make in the future!

Arianna Perri, Ceramics

Arianna has had an injured arm, but she still powered through and made some incredibly cool projects despite her injury. Most students I've met will use a cast as an easy "get out of class free" card, but I'm glad to see her still putting in hard work to get the results she wants. That kind of work ethic is very commendable and something I noticed right from the beginning. She's also an incredibly talented artist, and I can't wait to see what she's able to make with both hands available.

Kira Romeo – Flag Football

Kira represents this program well on and off the field she is a player who gives maximum effort on every down—whether sprinting to pull a flag, executing a precise route, or backing up a teammate, Kira sets a powerful standard by example and that elevates the entire group's energy.

Keith Chetwynd – Cross Country

Keith is a team captain for the 2026 Lancer Cross-Country Team. He led us at our season opener home opener. He also set a new personal record at Woodbridge as one of our top 2 runners.

We are excited to continue the use of Office Hour that will be available to all students on every Thursday morning from 8:30 – 9:15. Students who are struggling in any class may be assigned an office hour with a particular teacher so that they can receive additional help and support. Students who are not assigned to a teacher’s Office Hour should sign up to attend a teacher’s Office Hour to ask questions, get extra help, etc.

Students will be notified through the 5-Star App (more on that below) if they have been assigned to an Office Hour. Students may also sign up for an Office Hour through the 5-Star App. Students will be notified through their CVUSD email if they have been assigned to an Office Hour - they can check in 5-Star to find out where to go. We cannot overstate the importance of students attending Office Hour. Every students, whether they are assigned out not should attend Office Hour each week. The school will be contacting parents when students fail to show up to an assigned Office Hour. Our first Office Hour will be on Thursday, September 3rd.

As we embark on another exciting school year filled with growth, learning, and student achievement, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude for your support of our students and the various extracurricular activities they enjoy. Participation in athletics and extracurricular activities is not just about competition; it fosters teamwork, builds character, and creates lifelong memories.

We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Booster Clubs and all parents who contribute donations to support these organizations which play a vital role in enriching district-sponsored activities across our campuses.

However, as you may know, the costs associated with transportation for these events can be significant. CVUSD currently funds all transportation costs for school buses for in-season competition. Booster donations help support transportation costs only when the booster club requests a charter bus for the event or for off-season activities.

We kindly ask you to consider making a contribution to help offset the transportation costs for our student-athletes. Your contribution will directly support the costs of buses for all in-season contests, allowing our students to travel safely and arrive ready to give their best on the field, court, or stage.

The contribution for a 1st sport/activity is $145.00, the 2nd sport/activity is $95.00, and there is no additional charge for 3 or more sports/activities. The maximum individual contribution is $240.00.

Please make your contribution here.

On behalf of the Athletics and Activities department, we appreciate your support!

The California Proficiency Program (CPP) is a voluntary test that assesses proficiency in basic reading, writing, and mathematics skills taught in public schools. Eligible pupils who pass the CHSPE are awarded a Certificate of Proficiency by the State Board of Education. A pupil who receives a Certificate of Proficiency may, with verified approval from the parent or legal guardian, leave high school early. The Certificate of Proficiency, however, is not equivalent to completing all coursework required for regular graduation from high school.
