Dear Lancer Families:

I hope every TOHS family is having an amazing summer! In six weeks or so, students will be back on the Thousand Oaks High School campus greeting old friends, meeting new ones, and enjoying our famous Lancer school spirit. Here’s the information that will help prepare you for the 2026-2027 school year. Start by clicking the welcome back letter below. After information about our registration days, all topics are listed alphabetically.

Please note that the TOHS office will be closed to the public until Tuesday, August 4th. Our office hours from August 4th until Wednesday, August 19th will be 7:15am - 12pm, closed for lunch from 12pm - 1pm, and open again from 1pm - 4:15pm. Beginning Wednesday, August 19th the office will remain open continuously from 7:15am - 4:15pm.

On Monday, August 4th at 8:00 am, every CVUSD family will receive an e-mail explaining how to access the required Annual Updates, including acknowledgments and permissions, through Q Parent Connect. All families new and returning are required to complete all updates. The updates must be completed by August 10th.

For your information, the update includes:

Finally, all parents and caregivers of our new 9th grade students and others who are new to the school are invited to join us for our annual TOHS Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) Meet and Greet on Friday, August 14th in the TOHS Quad (area behind the Main Office) at 8:15am. Drop off your student at the gym for Lancer Launch and then head over to the Quad. Those who attend will have a chance to meet the TOHS Administrative team, our school's Counselors and the TOHS PTSA Executive Board. You'll have a chance to learn about the school, our goals this year, all the ways that TOHS families can get involved in our school, and to ask any questions that you may have. We look forward to seeing you all there.

I'm looking forward to a great year. Enjoy what remains of your summer.

The 5-Star App is used for a variety of purposes.

• For instance, students will use the app when they need a hall pass.
• The app is used to notify students when they are assigned an Office Hour or to sign up for an Office Hour.
• The app is also used by our ASB officers to share information on school events and for elections.

If students do not have a cell phone, they may access the 5-Star app through their Chromebooks.

Chromebook Information for 2026-27 School Year

Chromebook Distribution Information For Students New to TOHS

1. Chromebooks for students new to TOHS will be distributed on your registration day.

No BYOD Policy

1. This year, CVUSD has adopted a new policy regarding the use of privately owned computers and laptops on campus. Starting this year, students may NOT use privately owned devices while on campus. All students will be expected to use their school-issued Chromebooks while on campus.

Important Reminders From CVUSD Technology Services.

1. The Chromebook Loan Agreement and Chromebook Accidental Damage Protection information will be in Q this year as part of the Annual Update in English and Spanish. Access to these updates will start Monday, August 3. Copies of all Chromebook-related documentation in both English and Spanish are available on the Technology Services website.
2. Only students with an acknowledged Chromebook Loan Agreement in Q will receive a Chromebook at secondary school orientation
3. Students without an acknowledged agreement must complete it before receiving a device. Technology Services is prepared to setup “Kiosk Stations” at each secondary site that parents/students can use at orientation to log in to Q and acknowledge the agreement.

Chromebook Accidental Damage Protection Plan Information

1. The school district and Technology Services will be offering Chromebook Accidental Damage Protection (ADP)
2. Plans will remain priced at $25 per student but each plan will now cover ONE incident of device replacement due to loss, theft or unrepairable damage per year.
3. The plan covers repairs for damage such as cracked screens throughout the year. ADP coverage will be available for purchase until December 1st, 2025.
4. Technology Services will again utilize MySchoolBucks to process online payments for the Chromebook ADP Program. Parents can use their existing account OR create an account, add their student(s), and make payments via credit card or electronic check. This system will also be used to invoice families for lost or damaged devices not covered under the ADP program.
5. The enrollment window to purchase ADP plans for the 2025-26 school year will open on August 1st, 2025. Links to MySchoolBucks, an overview of the ADP program, parent registration process and the claims process will be posted on the Technology Services website at that time.
6. You can access the ADP information by clicking on the links below.

Students will pick up their class list during their designated orientation day by grade level. Any student who needs to request changes may email their counselor to discuss options. Any course changes are based on space and are not guaranteed. Counselor emails are available on the TOSH website.

Complete schedules with class periods, room numbers, and teachers will be posted on Q Connect on August 17th at 5:00 PM.

• As a reminder there are NO TEACHER CHANGES. Please do not ask as we cannot accommodate changes for teachers.
• Counselors and teachers will work with families throughout the semester to best meet each child's needs in their assigned teachers class.

School meals for the 2026-2027 school year will continue to be available to all students at no charge. Although all students will receive free meals throughout the duration of this school year, we request all families to complete this: Online Free/Reduced Mail Eligibility for school year 2026-2027 (Spanish form) as this form affects a variety of areas unrelated to school meals, including school funding, college application fees, SAT fees, bus passes and more. Even if your child does not plan to eat school lunches, it is important to fill out this form to help ensure our schools and families receive the available resources.

In order for Seniors to get their parking permit or Off Campus Pass, students must first sign and turn in the annual Senior Contract. Click the link below to download the document. Be sure to sign it and bring it to your registration day.
