TOHS Green Sheet

Hello Lancer Families!

Welcome back! I trust all Lancer families had an amazing summer. To those of you who are new to TOHS, this is the Green Sheet, your weekly TOHS newsletter. The Green Sheet is your one-stop-shop for all information about the school. Each week, it will arrive via email, text and CVUSD app on Sundays at 10am. Additionally, a link to all editions of the Green Sheet can be found on our school's website. Please do get into the habit of reading through Green Sheet each week as it will contain important information from all corners of the campus - including our bell schedule for the next four weeks. Speaking of our bell schedule, in addition to finding the bell schedule here, we are also providing to any interested families a handy refrigerator magnet with our daily bell schedule for the entire year. They will be available at our registration days later this month.

I also want to point out that school organizations like booster groups, PTSA, advisory groups, etc. are welcome to post items in the Green Sheet. Items can be emailed to me at ebergmann@conejousd.org. If your group would like to post an item in the Green sheet, a few important rules:

• I need your items by 3pm on Fridays. If I receive an item after 3pm on Friday, I cannot guarantee it will be included.
• If you want to post a flyer - send me your flyer in jpeg or png format - do not send pdfs. The system I use to create the Green Sheet prevents me from posting them as images. Again...flyers should be in jpeg or png format.
• Last, but not least, the Green Sheet is for information from the school and school-affiliated organizations (PTSA, Boosters) only. If you'd like anything from an outside group posted into the Green Sheet, the information and flyer must first be approved by the CVUSD Instructional Services Department.

One of my first priorities every year is to make sure that the Thousand Oaks High School Site Council has 6 parent/caregiver representatives. The Thousand Oaks High School Site Council (SSC) is a group made up of TOHS faculty and staff, parents/caregivers and students who have the responsibility of helping school administrators set goals, establish budgets and oversee school progress throughout the school year. It's primary responsibility is the creation of the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA).

Site Council usually meets monthly on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 3:30pm (with one full-day event in May). The agenda is posted on the TOHS website the preceding Friday. Our parent/caregiver representatives serve two-year terms, with three of the positions being elected (or re-elected) each year. We will need 3 new reps this year. Parents/caregivers will be voting on their reps next weekend. Note - students should not vote for the parent/caregiver reps. Votes that are cast by people other TOHS parents/caregivers will be discarded. School staff will be checking each vote for compliance.

If a parent or caregiver is interested in serving on our Site Council for the next two-year cycle (26/27 and 27/28 school years), please send me a short biography of yourself before next Friday (August 7th) at 3pm. I will add it to the ballot that will be sent out next Sunday (August 9th). I will insert a link to our ballot in next weekend's Green Sheet. If there are only three candidates who are interested, we will cancel the vote and announce our three new representatives. If we do have a vote, winners will be informed on Friday, August 14th and announced to the community on August 16th. The first SSC meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 25th. If anyone has any questions about Site Council, please send me an email at ebergmann@conejousd.org.

There are a few other items found below that I want to highlight and draw your attention to. First, please consider joining our PTSA. Unlike other schools, our PTSA continues to keep membership dues low - we only charge $12 for the year for parents/caregivers and $10 for students. While it is important to us that we not price anyone out of joining, we do rely on volume in order to help fill the PTSA's coffers. Please join! PTSA will be hosting a parent meet and greet for all new parents/caregivers on Friday, August 14th at 8:15am in the school's quad (drop your 9th graders off at Lancer Launch and then join us in the Quad). There, you will meet PTSA Leaders, as well as school administrators and counselors.

Next, registration day information can be found below. We ask that you please adhere to your scheduled time. If for any reason you are not able to make it on your registration day, students will be able to take their pictures and gather the books on the first day of school. If anyone has any questions about registration days, contact the school's main office.

A few final reminders:

• I'd like to encourage all freshmen to attend our annual Lancer Launch. Lancer Launch is an opportunity for freshmen to come to campus, start building relationships with another, get a tour of campus and begin to understand how to make the most of their high school experience. To sign up for Lancer Launch click here.
• Please remember to complete your Q Updates! An email from CVUSD will be sent to all families on August 3rd with instructions.
• Our first home football game is scheduled for Friday, August 21 at 7pm in Lancer Stadium. We'll be taking on Northview High School - please come out and join us!

If you are in need of additional information, please check the summer mailer that was emailed to all families in July. A lot of detailed information was included. That's it for now. Enjoy the last few weeks of your summer break.

Dear TOHS Parents/Guardians,

💚 Volunteers Needed for TOHS Orientation! 💚

Hello to all of our wonderful TOHS parents and welcome to the 2026-2027 school year. The TOHS Office and PTSA are in need of volunteers to help our students make their registration days run smoothly. Additionally, the library will need extra help the first three days of school to continue to pass out textbooks and help students get the correct textbooks if they've had a schedule change. Please take a look at the schedule and see where you can help. Please go through the front office to sign in with a current photo ID before your shift on campus.

Please Note: Parents of the Class of 2027 students who volunteer 20 hours or more for PTSA will receive priority parking for the 2027 graduation ceremony

Thank you for supporting our Lancer community, we couldn't do it without you!

Best regards,

TOHS PTSA

We are excited to continue the use of Office Hour that will be available to all students on every Thursday morning from 8:30 – 9:15. Students who are struggling in any class may be assigned an office hour with a particular teacher so that they can receive additional help and support. Students who are not assigned to a teacher’s Office Hour may sign up to attend a teacher’s Office Hour to ask questions, get extra help, etc. Students will be notified through the 5-Star App (more on that below) if they have been assigned to an Office Hour. Students may also sign up for an Office Hour through the 5-Star App. Students will be notified through their CVUSD email if they have been assigned to an Office Hour - they can check in 5-Star to find out where to go. We cannot overstate the importance of students attending an assigned Office Hour. Every students, whether they are assigned out not should attend Office Hour each week. The school will be contacting parents when students fail to show up to an assigned Office Hour. Our first Office Hour will be on Thursday, September 3rd.

if you haven't heard, TOHS will be offering a Mariachi Music class this year! If your student is interested in signing up for the class next year, please click the link below and provide your student's name, grade next year, and their school email address. Note - the class will be held during 7th period. While we understand that this will conflict with other 7th period activities (specifically, sports), we wanted to ensure that this class does not conflict with other academic requirements that students will have to take.

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.
