We are so proud of our Vista Oaks owl, Francesca Testa, who competed in the Strong Girl Competition with her competitive gymnastics team. Look at all of those medals she earned!

The Rounds siblings-- Elizabeth (grade 11), Tace (grade 9), Jameson (grade 6), and Margaret (grade 4)-- just finished working on the production crew for Livermore Valley Opera's presentation of Suor Angelic by Puccini! This marked Elizabeth's fifth LVO production on crew, and her third as Crew Chief. For Tace, this was the third show as props manager. Jameson and Margaret had their debuts as official crew members (production support and wardrobe assistant).

Collectively, and along with their mom, Sarah, they volunteered around 200 human-hours over 2.5 weeks They're tired, but they're already looking forward to helping with the next show, La fanciulla del West, also by Puccini, a western sung in Italian, set in a mining camp during the California Gold Rush.

The 10th grade English students just finished up Russian Revolution research projects as part of the Animal Farm unit. Brighton, Nevaeh and Charlotte presented a project on the Romanov dynasty today. They did a great job!

Please join us for the family friendly first annual Special Education Trunk or Treat Halloween event for Special Education Families. This is a candy and food-free event. Get ready for a fun, welcoming, and engaging experience where every student can participate and enjoy the celebration! We hope to see you there on Friday, October 23rd, from 1:45-3:00 pm!

Rachael (Site Coordinator) provides lunch supervision each day, so occasionally the office may be closed during that time. If you need to speak with one of us during closed times, you can find us out at the lunch tables. Thank you!

1) Please park in the Excelsior Middle School parking lot. If ever there is not enough room in that lot, you may park in the Excelsior Theater or Gym parking lots. Please do not ever park on the grass as that can break the sprinklers in the lawn and that is not our property to park on. Thank you!

2) You can park along the fence in front of the school, but not in the lot in front of our school as that is reserved.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

You may drop your child off in front of the school for classes and services, but there is no parking allowed. This includes no parking in this lot , along the fence, or along the building. This lot is for the Byron District Office Staff, and they need to be able to get in and out of the lot at any time. Thanks for your help with this!

Novels and pictures books can be found in the Oak Room and you are free to browse these books any time that a staff member is present. The curriculum in Room 13 you can browse with your advisor before or after your monthly meetings.

We love when our students are able to share concerns with us directly, but having an anonymous option is really helpful for some! We have a safety line in place for this.

STUDENTS CAN EASILY AND CONFIDENTIALLY REPORT THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS:

• BULLYING
• PEERS IN CRISIS
