TOHS Green Sheet

Lancer Families,

As we enter the final two weeks of school, I'd like to open with a reminder that finals for seniors begin this week: If seniors have a final in 2nd, 4th or 7th period, they will take them on Wednesday. If seniors have a final in 1st, 3rd, or 5th period, they will take them on Thursday, and if they have a final in A or 2nd period, they will take them on Friday. Remember that we will be using our normal schedule on senior final days. As soon as period 2 ends on Friday, seniors will report to the blacktop (by the stadium) and will board their buses for Grad Nite.

It's also awards week: our senior athletic awards night takes place on Tuesday night at 6 in the PAC (recognized students have received an invitation), Valedictorians will be recognized at the Board meeting on Wednesday at 6pm, and on Thursday, we have our annual Senior Awards and Scholarship night at 6pm in the PAC (also by invitation). If seniors are involved in any of these events, they should arrive at 5:30.

Moving on, I'd like to announce an important change in a CVUSD technology policy. Beginning next year, students will not be permitted to use their own laptop or iPad while at school. Students must use their school-issued Chromebook. In other words, CVUSD, will no longer support a "Bring Your Own Device" policy. Here's the rationale.

Supporting Safe and Focused Learning: New Student Device Policy for the 2026-2027 School Year

Beginning in the 2026-2027 school year, students will no longer be permitted to use personal devices, such as student-owned laptops and ipads, on campus. All students will continue to have access to district-issued chromebooks and classroom-based devices to support learning both at school and at home. This update is intended to create a more safeguarded and consistent learning environment for all students.

Moving away from student "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) for school instruction will help us:

• Improve online safety and strengthen cybersecurity protections for student accounts and data.
• Provide a more consistent classroom experience and reduce time spent troubleshooting different personal devices.
• Support classroom focus by reducing distractions from personal apps, games, and notifications.
• Improve network reliability and performance across school campuses.
• Allow teachers and schools to better support students using district-managed tools and systems.

We appreciate your partnership and support as we implement this transition. Additional details and guidance will be shared before the start of the school year.

Lastly, It's our final spirit week of the year! Let's have some fun! Our Finale Rally is scheduled for Monday and we will be using our rally schedule (see below). Here are the dress up themes throughout the week:

Monday: Class Colors (9th: Green; 10th: Grey; 11th: White; 12th: Black)

Tuesday: "Train Like A Jedi" Athletic Wear

Wednesday: Meme Day - Dress like your favorite meme

Thursday: Clone Day - Dress as a twin!

Friday: Anything But A Backpack Day (The item may not interfere with the learning environment or impede the ability to obtain instruction. Nothing on wheels.)

Ten school days to go! Let's make them count and have some fun!

#BleedGreen

Because June was considered an incredibly lucky time to get married, European newlyweds used to celebrate their union by drinking a fermented honey drink (mead) for a full moon's cycle—which is where the word "honeymoon" originated!

Beginning Monday, June 1st through the end of the year, the Lancer Library will only be open for book returns/swaps and printing. No student seating will be available.

All library books are due by Friday, June 5th.

Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors: all textbooks and core novels are due by Friday, June 12th.

Seniors, please return library books and textbooks by Friday, June 5th. Graduation tickets will not be given to you until all books and your Chromebook/charger have been returned.

It's nearing time for seniors to clean out their Google drives. There are direction below in the event you want anything saved. Graduating seniors will lose access to their school Google account shortly after graduation. Finally, there are also directions below for Seniors who need a copy of their final transcript (most colleges require this).

We are in the of process reviewing Seniors with assigned Chromebooks that have been flagged due to no activity in the past 90-days. If you no longer need to use your Chromebook, please return it along with the power-charger to the Tech Room by the Library. If the device is broken, please bring it in. We can work with students/families to get displays and keyboards repaired. If the device is lost, or is unable to be fixed from our location, then an invoice for a replacement will be issued to the student. A reminder that students need to pay off all fees and fines in order to be given their diploma. We’d like to have the Seniors cleared of any issues before the end of the year.

Parents of current Center juniors, there is a mandatory meeting this Wednesday evening.

Abigail Kerns - Swimming

Abi was a three-time League Champion this season winning the 200-yard freestyle, the 4 x 50-yard freestyle relay, as well as the 4 x 100-yard freestyle relay. She was also the league runner-up in the 500-yard freestyle. She qualified for the CIF division 2 championship in all four mentioned events.

Andrew Albrecht- Baseball

The senior pitcher finished the season for the Lancers with a 6-1 record on the mound. He led Thousand Oaks with 39 innings pitched and had an ERA of 3.56. Andrew will be pitching for Chapman University next year.

Yovanni Hernandez-Calvillo - Ceramics

Yovanni has really risen to the occasion this year. He's admitted to not being very artistic, but he definitely could have fooled me considering the amazing work he's produced. His ideas are big, sometimes bigger than the year can handle, so we have a few pieces that might not get done in time. However, everything we've seen from him has been incredibly creative and far beyond what I would have expected from the class. He's one of the hardest working students I've ever met and I'm very proud to have given him a new medium to express himself with. I'm sure he would've found one eventually regardless. There's too much creativity to stay boxed inside for long.

Ava Kamoei - Ceramics

Ava's ability to create three-dimensional sculpture is an incredible thing to behold. She can imagine things with full depth, which lets her bring flat images to life in fully realized ceramic sculptures. She's also talented at more traditional art, but I think she's really found her calling when building her incredible ideas by hand. Often, her work is larger than multiple other students' creations combined. She's made some of my favorite pieces, and I'm incredibly proud of her for finishing the majority of the wildly big ideas she's had this year. It took a lot of extra hours in the Ceramics room, but her dedication really paid off this year in some wonderful works of Art.

Grad Nite

Seniors, you will not be allowed to board the bus for Grad Nite without a signed permission slip. Mr. Godfrey sent an email on Friday to all seniors who are missing their form. Please check your email. If you received the email, please print the form, sign it, and submit it to the Student Store on Monday, June 1st. No slip, no trip!

Mr. Godfrey will be sending emails this week regarding Grad Night bus information, as well as Disneyland Policies. Please read them carefully, as failure to adhere could result in you being removed from the park and a parent having to come pick you up.

Senior Attendance

Seniors, remember that you must have no more than 20% absences this semester to be able to participate in senior activities, including Prom, Grad Nite, and the Graduation Ceremony. On April 30th Mr. Godfrey sent out an email to all seniors and families who are in danger of not meeting the 20% maximum. If you did not receive an email, you are all clear as of now! Let’s finish the year strong, seniors!

As graduation approaches, I want to share CVUSD Board Policies and applicable California Education Code provisions related to graduation ceremonies and student adornments, including recent updates under Assembly Bill 1369.

In accordance with CVUSD Board Policy 5127 and California law (Education Code sections 35183.1 and 35183.3, as amended by AB 1369), students are permitted to wear adornments or regalia with their cap and gown provided the item does not cause a substantial disruption of, or material interference with, the graduation ceremony. Requests must be evaluated in a content-neutral manner and may only be restricted if the specific item would reasonably be expected to cause a substantial disruption or material interference with the ceremony.

Any decision by a school site to deny a student’s request to wear graduation regalia or an adornment associated with a student’s cultural, religious, spiritual, or group identity must be reviewed and approved in advance by the Director of High School Education.

**Graduating seniors are not permitted to decorate their graduation caps. That constitutes an alteration of the graduation attire, not an addition to it.

For reference, below is a partial list of groups and affiliations whose students have previously been permitted to wear graduation regalia:

• Black Student Union
• Latino Connection
• Eagle Scout
• Girl Scout
• National Charity League
• Military dress uniform

Please note that this is not a comprehensive list. It reflects examples of requests processed in recent years and should not be used to limit or pre-screen future requests.

CVUSD Board Policy 5127 – Graduation Ceremonies and Activities

• Any graduating student who has completed basic training and is an active member of any branch of the United States Armed Forces may, at the student’s option, wear a military dress uniform at the ceremony. (Education Code 35183.3)
• Any student who has officially enlisted shall be permitted to wear a recognized object provided by any branch of the United States Armed Forces.
• Students shall be permitted to wear tribal regalia or recognized objects of religious, cultural, or spiritual significance as an adornment to the customary ceremonial attire, provided the adornment does not cause a substantial disruption of, or material interference with, the graduation ceremony. (Education Code 35183.1, as amended by AB 1369)

Students who wish to wear such adornments should notify the school principal at least 14 days prior to the graduation ceremony when practicable. This notification is intended to support planning and coordination and may not be used as a basis to deny a request that otherwise complies with law and Board policy. (AB 1369)

CVUSD Board Policy 5145.2 – Freedom of Speech/Expression
Students are prohibited from making any expressions or distributing or posting any materials that are obscene, libelous, or slanderous, or that incite students in a manner that creates a clear and present danger of unlawful acts, violations of school rules, or substantial disruption of school operations. (Education Code 48907)

California Education Code 35183.1 provides that:

• A pupil may wear traditional tribal regalia or recognized objects of religious, cultural, or spiritual significance as an adornment at a school graduation ceremony.
• An “adornment” means something attached to, or worn with, but not replacing, the cap and gown customarily worn at graduation.
• A local educational agency may only prohibit an item if it is likely to cause a substantial disruption of, or material interference with, the ceremony.

All CVUSD public elementary schools are scheduling their walks for Monday, June 8 at 1pm. Seniors will be released from their mandatory Graduation practice at 12:00pm in order to attend this favorite tradition! MATES Charter School has scheduled their senior walk on Thursday, June 4th at 2:15.

As other schools send us their flyers, we will add them here. Here are those that we have received thus far:

Attention Student Athletes!

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!

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)

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.

For our new Athletics website, go here: TOAthletics.com

Congratulations to Aiden Mueller, who made it all the way to the CIF quart-finals in boy's tennis! Our boys and girls Track and Field team should also be applauded. As mentioned last week, 10 of our athletes made their may to the State Track tournament in Clovis, California last Friday and Saturday. Our teams represented the school incredibly well, finishing in California's top ten in two different events.

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.

All athletes (including off-season programs) will need to have a current physical and Athletic Clearance on file.

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.
