TOHS Green Sheet

Hello Lancer Families!

To open, a quick reminder to all families that n observance of Rosh Hashanah there is no school on Tuesday!

Last week, all CVUSD families received an email from Assistant Superintendent Loo about a new required training that ALL CVUSD high school student must complete (or be opted out of by parents). The email read:

As part of our ongoing efforts to provide education and support for safe schools, all CVUSD high school students are required to complete an online learning module on sexual harassment. This 28-minute module is provided by Vector Solutions.

The online learning module is now available in your Classlink account.

A few key points about the training:

• The training will last approximately 30 minutes
• A link to the training can be found on every students Classlink account
• The training needs to be completed by September 30th and needs to be completed outside of school hours.
• If parents want to opt their child out of the training, they may contact Assistant Principal Danielle Oliveri at doliveri@conejousd.org)
• Students who do not complete the training by the 30th, and have not be opted out, will be required to take the training during school hours.
• If you have any questions, please contact the office.

Next, members in our community can now review a draft version of the Thousand Oaks High School School Plan for School Achievement (SPSA) by clicking this link:

Apollo is one of our TOHS Choir secretaries this year and has stepped into the role seamlessly. He assists with attendance at rehearsals and events and always arrives early so he can help check in his fellow singers. He has also been a leader in the classroom, demonstrating excellent rehearsal skills and vocal technique each day as we learn our new music. He is a great example for the new basses we have especially. Apollo also has a superior work ethic. He is extremely focused and dedicated each day in class and can always be depended on for performances. Great work Apollo!

Natalie Guy (12th grade): Choir

Natalie is the other TOHS Choir secretary. Along with her duties such as attendance, check in at performances, and meeting minutes, Natalie has done an excellent job welcoming new singers to our program. She greets everyone with a smile, even if they are coming in late for some reason, which helps make students feel comfortable and relaxed as they enter the classroom. She demonstrated excellent engagement in our activities and stellar leadership within small groups to help all the singers get to know each other as we begin the year. Natalie has also grown greatly in her confidence as a singer, earning more solos, getting accepted in Vocal Ensemble Honors, and becoming a leader in the alto section. Way to go Natalie!

September is Attendance Awareness Month

You are your children’s most important and longest lasting teachers and advocates. You can take the following actions to ensure that your children can develop a positive attitude toward school, stay in school longer, have better attendance, and an overall rewarding school experience.

Take Action!

• Make getting to school on time everyday a high priority in your family.
• Help your student maintain daily routines, such as finishing homework and getting a good night’s sleep.
• Talk with your student about the importance of school attendance and the negative effects of too many absences.
• Create a safe space for your student to share what’s keeping them from participating in school on a regular basis.
• Have a back-up plan for getting your student to school when there are difficulties with transportation, family illness, or other challenges.
• Schedule doctor and other appointments for after-school hours whenever possible.
• Monitor students’ school attendance to make sure your student is in class every day.
• Contact your student’s school to discuss supports and services that can help your student maintain regular school attendance.

Please reach out if you need support! We want to partner with you to ensure a great school year for your student. #AttendTodayAchieveTomorrow

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!

Parents, if you are interested in being able to access your Student's Canvas page as an observer, please click here for instructions: https://www.conejousd.org/Page/1787

Parents in Booster groups - please help us help you!! If you schedule a restaurant night, PLEASE notify Jody Benon in our activities office (jbenon@conejousd.org) before advertising it! We want to avoid groups booking competing fundraisers on the same night.

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)

TOHS will no longer allow food service delivery companies such as Door Dash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub to deliver food to school for students to pick up. If a student forgets their lunch, they are encouraged to take advantage of the free meal service in the cafeteria.

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.

If you or your student want to check on current grades, please refer to the grades that are in Q. The Canvas grading feature is a tool - a bridge - that connects the two systems. Not all grades are entered into Canvas, however, ALL grades are entered into Q.

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

Tickets for all athletic contests that require a ticket for admission can be purchased at gofan.com. You can also scan the QR code below. Note - there will be no cash transactions.

Looking for a way to support the school while also increasing advertising for your business or organization? Our ASB Officers are selling banner space on the tennis court fences that run along Moorpark Rd. and Flores Rd. Call Lisa Solis in the TOHS Student Store for more details if you are interested. 100% of the funds are directed into student programs.

Thanks to those individuals who have ordered a banner. Space is limited and going fast - so act now!

All CVUSD and TOHS attendance policies and procedures will be followed in TOHS classes. Students may be dropped from the class and assigned an “F” due to excessive truancies and/or unexcused absences.

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. For more information, including administration dates and registration deadlines, visit the following website: http://www.chspe.net/

In addition to our website (www.conejousd.org/tohs), you can find us on Facebook. Also, it seems every student group on campus has a Twitter and Instagram account that will allow you to follow individual groups should you wish to do so. Our school has a great general twitter feed that tweets lots info about the school (@ThousandOaksHS).
