On Thursday, March 18th, OCSA will host Matthew R. Kay, author of Not Light, But Fire, for a special Professional Development presentation tailored for OCSA and CSArts-SGV Conservatory and Academic teachers. This will be the first event which will combine staff from both schools and teachers will have opportunities to interact, so don't miss it!

Due to the large number of anticipated participants, an RSVP is required. Please complete THIS form no later March 12th.

For academic teachers who are not able to participate in the event on March 18th, a video recording of the presentation will be available on Friday, March 19th. For conservatory teachers who are unable to attend, the video presentation will be available through Actively Learn on the 2020 Professional Development Google Classroom. Conservatory teachers will be compensated for watching it through Friday March 26th.

Reminder: There are NO CONSERVATORY CLASSES for students on Thursday, March 18th due to the professional development session.

Last week, a group of volunteer moms came to school to distribute disinfectant spray, sanitizing wipes, and health and safety artwork to each classroom. Please be sure to hang the poster in your room so students and staff alike can be reminded of important safety information!

Orange County recently announced that they expect to begin vaccinating educators and other individuals in Phase 1B at the end of February. As a reminder, Jena Duca (OCSA Director of Human Resources) recently sent out a link for staff to get registered with Othena in order to be notified when it is time for you to receive the vaccine.
