Hello Navigators!
We had a fantastic week! Things are quite busy with a lot of exciting upcoming events. Please review carefully as we have a lot of information this week.
We are currently recruiting for our School Site Council and need 5 parents members. The Council helps make budget decisions, decisions about programs and safety and is a great opportunity to support students. We meet about once a month with virtual meeting options. If you are interested please complete this form. After we get interested individuals we will hold an election to create our school site council.
All students are assigned a device from Nichols. We offer a Device Protection Plan: The 2026–2027 OUSD Device Protection Plan is now open through September 30, 2026 for just $20 per device, covering accidental damage, spills, and theft.
