TOHS Green Sheet

Lancer Families,

I'd like to start this edition of the Green Sheet with a huge congratulations to Thousand Oaks High School Senior and Center Scholar, Olivia Johnson. Olivia recently took the top prize at the Ventura County Science Fair and was selected to represent all of Ventura County at the nation's most prestigious science fair, the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), also called by it's primary sponsor, the Regeneron Science Fair, which was held in Phoenix this past week. Olivia was recognized for her scientific research in the Biomedical Health category and was awarded a $5000 special award by the Drug, Chemical and Associated Technologies Association (DCAT). Congratulations, Olivia!!

A reminder to all seniors that any all requests to wear graduation regalia that does not come from the school must be approved the school's administration. Please email all requests (along with a picture of the item requested) to Principal Bergmann before May 27th (that is a hard deadline). A complete description of CVUSD policies on the subject can be found below.

Seniors, a few reminders for you: first, regarding Chromebooks. 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. Next, 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).

A few notes about the end of year schedule. Please remember that seniors will be taking their finals in their regular classes on June 3rd, 4th and 5th. The schedule can be seen below. After 2nd period on Friday, 6/5, seniors who are attending Grad Nite will need to move directly to the blacktop by the stadium to board the buses and depart. Note that seniors making the trip will not have time to go home and come back, so come prepared with everything they need for a day at Disney.

9th, 10th and 11th graders will be taking their finals the last week of school. We will be using our finals schedule on June 10, 11 and 12 (again, the schedule can be seen below). Note that there is no "late start" on either Thursday or Friday, please plan accordingly. For 9th, 10th and 11th graders, lunch will be served on all three days, however, students are free to leave campus after their second final is complete (before lunch) - please coordinate with your kiddo in order to determine pick up plans if needed. If students need to make up a missed final, they may do so between 1 and 3pm on the each of the testing days. Students will need to coordinate with their teacher in order to make up a final due to a valid excused absence. One huge reminder, per California Ed Code, family vacations are not an excusable absence. Please do not plan to check your student out before finals. The school's default position is that we do not permit early finals.

This summer, our annual Summer Mailer (with all documents that are required to register your students for the 26-27 school year) will be sent to all families electronically. Please ensure that we have your correct email address (check for yourself on Q). We will have a few hard copies in the office, but by sending out the information out electronically, we'll be saving several thousand dollars in postage as well as countless hours for our office staff. The information is typically sent early to mid-July.

One final reminder - we do not have school next Friday or the following Monday. Enjoy one last, long weekend before the busy final push of the school year. Next weekend's Green Sheet will be sent out at the regular time, Sunday at 10am.

Eric

Dr. Eric Bergmann, Principal

#BleedGreen

Originally, proms (or more formally, promenades) were formal, 19th-century debutante-style balls at universities like Harvard, meant for young adults to showcase social etiquette.

Senior MayDay Celebration

Seniors, Monday is our annual TOHS MayDay College and Post-High School Celebration Day! Students who completed the sign-up form will have a special poster displayed featuring their college, trade school, military branch, career program, or other post-high school plans, along with the names of students attending.

Wear your college or program gear and stop by the quad before school, during nutrition, or at lunch to take pictures with your posters and celebrate your future plans with friends and staff.

We look forward to making this a fun and memorable celebration for the Class of 2026!

May Student Senate Meets this week, Please note this change of day

May Student Senate will be meeting in J6 on Thursday, 5/21. All current club presidents are required to attend. Important information regarding club registration for next year will be shared.

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!

We will resume our regular hours next week with one exception - we will be closed on Wednesday, May 20 for an AP make up exam. If you or your students need library services on Wednesday, please visit K-3, our textbook storage room. Ms. Sorensen will be able to help you with textbook/core novel needs as well as printing.

As always, visiting students need to have a pass to the library.

Our PM Jazz Band earned 2nd place at the Westlake Jazz Festival as did our TOHS Jazz Combo.

For the first time in many years, our TOHS Studio Jazz Band competed in the Heavy Division (the most advanced category of competition) and earned 1st place.

This is a huge accomplishment and I couldn’t be more proud of our students in the Studio band. Below is a link to one of the performances.

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:

Last year Evan began his photographic journey in Photo 1/2 as a freshman. He found a way to express his interests in a new light and discovered his passion. Evan participated in the first ever CTE Showcase at CLU last year and again this year at the second annual showcase. He presented his growing skill and variations using new techniques such as creating his own cinemographs, moving still images. This year as a sophomore, Evan has created many notable works using his growing photoshop skills from his work in Art of Comm Photo HONORS. He earned his Adobe Photoshop Professional Certification recently in this class. This is globally recognized, industry standard certification. CONGRATULATIONS to Evan! Evan will continue in the Photography CTE pathway and he will continue to grow his vision and personal voice. Best of luck to you, Evan!

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.

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.

Track and Field: Congratulations to our boys track team who came in 2nd place in the Division 2 Championship meet this past Saturday! We missed the top spot by just 5 points (about 1 third place finish from 1 athlete). Our girls team took 6th place among the 50 teams who had athletes competing. Additionally, we had numerous athletes that qualified for the Master's meet next weekend. Well done!

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.

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.
