The title “School Administrator” encompasses a vital network of leadership positions including superintendents, assistant superintendents, principals, assistant principals, special education and adult education leaders, curriculum and assessment specialists, school business officials, classified educational leaders, and all management personnel who guide our schools. These dedicated professionals in the Conejo establish and maintain exceptional educational experiences filled with opportunities for every student, while fostering innovative classroom instruction and vital support systems for our community of diverse learners.
We are so thankful for our School Administrators all year through, and we invite the whole Conejo community to join us in celebrating them, and their vital contributions to educational excellence, this Week of the School Administrator! Click here to learn more.

Drop, Cover, and Hold On: The Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill Returns Oct. 15th
Major earthquakes may happen anywhere you live, work, or travel. The ShakeOut is a good opportunity to practice how to protect ourselves, and for everyone to become prepared to "Drop! Cover! Hold On!"
Safety preparedness is key in the CVUSD!

Learning & Growing, Together: TOHS and CalLutheran Partner for Emerging Writers
Last week, our Thousand Oaks High School's Writing Center partnered with California Lutheran University's English Department for an interactive morning of workshops, writing activities, and conversations. This collaboration between high school and university writers, tutors and faculty allowed for the exchanging of ideas about creative writing, peer feedback, revision and overall writer confidence to develop.
We are proud of our Lancers for fostering meaningful connection, opportunities for future mentorship and shared programming with community partners. Go, Lancers!
