LCAP (Local Control Accountability Plan) Survey opens for Students, Parents and Staff - Please Complete!
The LCAP (Local Control Accountability Plan) survey will open Monday, October 24th. Staff and students will be able to access the survey on the MyOUSD Dashboard. This year, the student survey has been separated by Elementary and Secondary. We are asking that all 3rd through 6th grade students at elementary sites take the survey. It is voluntary, so any student can opt out (to opt out, simply do not complete the survey)
Parents can see the survey on their child’s dashboard once the window opens and can elect to take it with them at home. Unlike the climate survey, there is no sensitive material. The questions are all directly related to the OUSD Strategic Plan initiatives and are for the purpose of directing the actions in the 2023/24 LCAP.
Cell Phone Use - "NO CELL, BELL to BELL"
1) NO CELL from BELL to BELL - cell phones need to be turned OFF and stored in students backpack from first bell to dismissal bell.
2) Students who need to contact parents/guardians are expected to come to the front office to make the phone call.
3) Students who do not follow the guidelines:
1st occurrence: warning - expected to place phone back in backpack
2nd occurrence: cell phone confiscated - Parent Pick-up in office
Parking Lot Stats! KUDOS to our WONDERFUL Parents driving SAFELY and VOLUNTEERS for making it happen!
STATS from Friday, October 21st:
# of cars per time frame:
7:40-7:50: 70 cars
7:50-8:00: 105 cars
8:00-8:10: 77 cars
Total - 252 cars in 30 minutes! Woo hoo! This counts cars that pulled into the parking lot for kinder drop off, as well as anyone who pulled up to the drop-off curb to let their kid out.
"Let's all continue to work together to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible!
- Make sure your child is ready to exit the vehicle as soon as you pull up to the curb - if they need a little extra time or help, please feel free to park in the upper parking lot and walk them in.
- Parent volunteers help ensure the safety of all our kiddos, as well as a smooth transition through the drop-off line so all the parents can get to work on time. If you can volunteer even one day per week to help, your whole community would appreciate it!!
- We know the sun is right in your eyes as you pull into the parking lot - we've checked with the solar system and there's nothing we can do about it ;). Please watch out for Mr Jones or any other parent volunteer who are directing traffic...don't run them over!
- There is NO left turn when you exit the school after drop-off or pick-up - this causes a huge backup in our traffic lines and we need to keep things moving!"
