TOHS Green Sheet

Dear Lancer Families,

This week, February 2nd through the 6th, we are celebrating National School Counseling Week. It's a week when we recognize and celebrate all the hard work of our amazing counseling team. We take great pride as a staff in our efforts to build relationships with our students and really know who they are as young adults.

Those efforts begin with our counseling team. Mr. Solis, Ms. Britt, Ms. Montero, Ms. Ross, Ms. Scott and Ms. Daigneault are highly skilled in understanding how to match their students to the wide array of offerings at our school in order to do what we can to set kids up for post-high school success. Having said all of that, please help me say thank you to our amazing Counseling team!

Speaking of counselors, we are rapidly approaching one of their busiest times of the year - registration season. That's right, it's time for our students to start thinking about the classes that they want to take next year. Our counselors have already met with students at several local middle schools. In the middle of this month, they will meet with our rising seniors and then in March they will meet with the rising juniors and sophomores. They'll finish things up with visits to Redwood and Los Cerritos towards the end of March.

I highly recommend that parents and students attend our annual Futures Night. During Futures NIght, our school's counselors will be going over all information that students and their families need to know in order to register for next year's classes. The event will take place on February 11th and will be held virtually. More information can be can be found below.

Thanks for all you do to support our school. Enjoy your Sunday.

Dr. Eric Bergmann, Principal

#BleedGreen

Designers made the infamous Night’s Watch cloaks from the TV series Game of Thrones from $250 Ikea rugs. Costume designers for the show purchased these rugs, cut them, dyed them, and sewed them into the heavy cloaks viewers saw onscreen.

Jorge Narvaez is a senior and has been a TOHS Unified Sports Athlete for 4 years. He enjoys playing basketball, soccer, and bowling. He also participates in our unified dance class and enjoys participating in performances with his classmates. He is a good student and always tries his best!

Gabriella "Gigi" Bartolone is a sophomore and has been a TOHS Unified Sports Athlete for 2 years. Gigi loves all unified sports and is a member of the TOHS Unified Swim Team. She has a positive attitude and works hard to improve her sport skills.

Ava Daugherty has taken on the role of Assistant Director for our Spring Musical 9 to 5. She is a wonderful leader with both and creative ideas and she is always looking to help and uplift others. In addition to her work in the musical, Ava is also serving as Drama Club President and goes above and beyond for this department.

Trey Allen has been a gift to the Technical Theater department. He is a skilled lighting designer, and his work on the light board is advanced. He not only produces excellent work in class, but he is also always helping his classmates and assisting them with the technology.

Santiago Diaz -Boys Soccer

He is a senior, captain, center midfielder. He is a three-year varsity standout for the Lancers. Santiago scored the winning goal against Agoura on 1/20.

Maddie Linville – Girls Soccer

Maddie has scored 6 of the 10 goals we've scored so far this month and 3 of them have been game winning goals. Maddie is a threat to score not only with the ball on her foot, but also a threat in the air as she had a highlight goal against Calabasas with a fiery header past the goalkeeper. Maddie is also one of our captains and leads by example on and off the field.

This week, approximately 40 of our students had the incredible opportunity to visit Moorpark College and dive into the world of Biotechnology & Biomanufacturing. As part of our new partnership with the Moorpark College Biotechnology Department, students experienced a guided campus tour and then stepped into the lab for hands-on learning.

They didn’t just observe—they participated in real biotechnology techniques, including chromatography and protein purification, gaining firsthand insight into the skills and science behind this growing field.

We’re excited to continue building this partnership and opening doors to future STEM pathways for our students. Huge thanks to Moorpark College for hosting such an inspiring and educational experience!

The stadium's new turf has been installed and it looks great. This past week, work crews began the process of installing the new "Victory Green" track surface. We are still on track to see all work completed by the end of this month!

School Pride & Litter

• Students, please show pride in your school by not throwing/leaving trash on the ground. There are plenty of trash cans available around campus. Thank you.

Seniors - Time is Running Out!

In the state of California, high school seniors are required to complete the FAFSA or California Dream Act Application (CADAA) (unless you submit an opt-out form). This application is necessary to be considered for financial aid, grants, and many scholarships that help pay for college, career training, or technical school.

The priority deadline is March 2, 2026. Missing it could mean losing out on thousands of dollars. Don't leave money on the table - apply now and secure your options after graduation.

Are you a former Madrona Elementary Student? Each year local elementary school PTAs offer scholarships to former students. If you are interested, click the link below for a copy of their application and more detailed information.

We are thrilled to announce that our Thousand Oaks home games in the stadium, gym, pool, varsity baseball facility and varsity softball facility will now be live-streamed through HUDL!

This exciting new program is made possible through the generous support of CVUSD and our amazing Booster programs. Whether you’re cheering from the stands or from home, you’ll be able to catch all the action and share in the excitement of our athletes’ hard work and dedication.

Parents can create their own free HUDL Fan account to follow all home games across our district. Go to https://fan.hudl.com/ to create your HUDL Fan account. Once your account is set up, you can search for Thousand Oaks High School, follow your student’s teams, and enjoy streaming right from your phone, tablet, or computer—at no cost to you. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Josh Eby-Assistant Principal-Facilities, Athletics & Safety at jeby@conejousd.org.

Please note that the secondary math curriculum will be discussed on March 5th. Click this link in order to register:

Thanks to all of you who have made a point of joining PTSA over the last couple of weeks. Thanks to your efforts, our membership rate has gone up from 6% to approximately 9%! But we are not done yet! Let's keep it going!

As many of you are aware, our amazing Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) does a great deal to support students and teachers at Thousand Oaks High School. One hundred percent of all money raised by our group is used to support programs like Reflections, Red Ribbon Week, Unity Day, Teacher Mini Grants, and Teacher Appreciation Week. A very large chunk of the money that our PTSA relies on comes from membership, that is, parents who pay $13 a year in order to join our PTSA. That's right, it's just $13 a year. Unlike other schools, who have no problem charging families hundreds of dollars (sometimes thousands if they join the "VIP" tier), we will not price anyone out of joining. However, when people won't join, even at our ridiculously low prices, our PTSA must consider making program changes, raising prices, or finding funds elsewhere.

Please submit receipts for anything purchased at the Oaks Mall. Go Lancers!

Please note the changes made to the room assignments and the math levels...

Attention Student Athletes!

When accessing the log in page for the NCAA Eligibility Center, please do not sign in using the High School portal. This is for TOHS administrators and staff only.

The student portal to sign in can be accessed HERE.

If you have any questions, please contact your school counselor

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 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 $135.00, 2nd sport/activity is $80.00 and 3rd sport/activity is $60.00.

Please make your contribution here

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

Parents, if you are interested in being able to access your Student's Canvas page as an observer, please click here for instructions: https://www.conejousd.org/Page/1787

Parents in Booster groups - please help us help you!! If you schedule a restaurant night, PLEASE notify Jody Benon in our activities office (jbenon@conejousd.org) before advertising it! We want to avoid groups booking competing fundraisers on the same night.

Also...if you want to post a flyer in the Green Sheet, be sure to send it to me in JPEG format. Thanks!

We have updated hours for student Tech Help in Rm# K01 (next to the library)

TOHS will no longer allow food service delivery companies such as Door Dash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub to deliver food to school for students to pick up. If a student forgets their lunch, they are encouraged to take advantage of the free meal service in the cafeteria.

Parents are also encouraged to have their students use the free meal service from the cafeteria instead of dropping off food at the front office. For any items dropped off by parents, students will not be allowed to leave class to retrieve them. Students can pick up those items dropped off either at Nutrition or Lunch.

If you or your student want to check on current grades, please refer to the grades that are in Q. The Canvas grading feature is a tool - a bridge - that connects the two systems. Not all grades are entered into Canvas, however, ALL grades are entered into Q.

Tickets for all athletic contests that require a ticket for admission can be purchased at gofan.com. You can also scan the QR code below. Note - there will be no cash transactions.

Our ASB Officers are selling banner space on the tennis court fences that run along Moorpark Rd. and Flores Rd.

All CVUSD and TOHS attendance policies and procedures will be followed in TOHS classes. Students may be dropped from the class and assigned an “F” due to excessive truancies and/or unexcused absences.

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. For more information, including administration dates and registration deadlines, visit the following website: http://www.chspe.net/

In addition to our website (www.conejousd.org/tohs), you can find us on Facebook. Also, it seems every student group on campus has a Twitter and Instagram account that will allow you to follow individual groups should you wish to do so. Our school has a great general twitter feed that tweets lots info about the school (@ThousandOaksHS).
