Surfside Shark Bites

Good afternoon, Surfside!

Congratulations to the Sharks soccer team, who won their game this week against Valley. The final score was 7-0! The team played an excellent game.

It's exciting to have a front-row seat to the progress made on the construction of our new school. Every week brings progress and we are looking forward to the first wave of move-ins to a couple of the new buildings sometime in the next few months.

Finally, please know that we are grateful to partner with you in preparing your students to build a future they can be excited about. Have you taken time to log on to Aeries and check your student's progress and status at school? It would be worth your time to check grades and attendance. Please check it out and let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Principal Frandsen

• The rain came, and construction continued. Currently, the crews are working on preparing the ground and laying the base layer for concrete sidewalks, steps, and ramps. The work on the interior of the existing buildings continues as cabinets are being installed, walls and ceilings are being finished, and utilities are being wrapped up. It's going to be a very busy November and December as the first set of buildings are completed.

"During the Day, Off and Away"

To create a focused learning environment and support student mental health, Oceanside Unified School District will now require all student cell phones to be off and stowed in backpacks upon entering campus and remain off until leaving. Exceptions are made for students with IEPs or 504 plans if specified for medical or anxiety-related needs, as determined by site administration. Classrooms have landlines for students to contact parents if needed, and students will have access to their phones during emergencies. The policy aims to reduce distractions, enhance engagement, and prevent cyberbullying, while also reducing the risk of phone theft or loss. Support and disciplinary actions for policy violations could include warnings, phone calls home, and phone confiscations, with increasing consequences for repeated offenses. OUSD is committed to student safety and mental health, fostering academic and emotional growth. For more details, refer to OUSD's Handbook.

Every family should know that every child in the Oceanside Unified School District (OUSD) has the Constitutional right to attend school regardless of immigration status. OUSD does not request or record information about a student’s immigration status. Federal and state laws protect student information from disclosure to others, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). OUSD does not permit non-students, including ICE agents, access to OUSD facilities unless they can produce a warrant signed by a federal judge. School administrators will not permit the disclosure of confidential student information without first consulting their attorney to make sure that the information has been properly subject to a federal judge’s warrant.

Families should consult community resources to learn their rights and additional information will be provided to help families access these resources
