TOHS Green Sheet

Hello Lancer Families!

Welcome to registration week! I always get excited for this week as it marks the return of students to campus. Please remember to have your student show up on their assigned day at their assigned time. By doing so, it will allow us to better manage wait times and lines. If you aren't able to make it to your registration day, students can complete all required steps on the first day of school. If you have any questions, please be sure to reach out to anyone in the office - we would be happy to help.

We are also excited to welcome our new freshmen to campus at Friday's Lancer Launch. Freshmen will begin their Lancer journey in the gym on Friday morning. The doors will open at 8:30am. Parents of 9th graders, please drop your students off at the gym between 8:00am and 8:15am. After you drop off your student, please join us in the Quad for your own bit of orientation (the Quad is right behind the main office). You'll have a chance to meet our PTSA leadership, school administrators, and counselors while also learning about PTSA membership and the benefits of joining. That get together will start at 8:15 on the button.

One very important detail about our check-in process. Students who are new to TOHS MUST have a current AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) on file with us BEFORE a Chromebook will be given to that student. Parents can sign their student's AUP as a part of their annual required updates in Q. Please look for an email that was sent from CVUSD on August 4th in order to learn how to complete your required Q updates.

Speaking of Chromebooks, remember, CVUSD has enacted a new policy this year that prohibits students from using their own laptops, Chromebooks, or iPads while on campus. Please make sure that your student has a CVUSD-issued Chromebook to start the year. I would also highly suggest the purchase of a Chromebook insurance policy (you can purchase the policy at your student's registration day). The policy is cheap and will offer valuable peace of mind in the event anything happens to your student's Chromebook during the year.

Regarding Registration Days, we are still looking for volunteers who can help us with the numerous stations we have around campus. Please do consider helping us out! Information on how to sign up for a volunteer shift on any number of check-in days can be found below. We are also looking for parents who are willing to contribute to our welcome back luncheon for all faculty and staff. Information on how to sign up to help can also be found below.

It's also that time of year that we are asking families to consider making a donation to our Transportation funds. We rely heavily on the generosity of parents in order to help cover the costs of of transporting students to all their activity and and athletic events. More information and suggested donation amounts can be found below. Thanks for for your consideration.

Next, I'd like to provide an update of our Site Council elections. You'll remember that last week I reported that we were looking for three parents to serve as new Site Council members for the next two years. We had six individuals step forward to be considered as candidates! Thanks to all! Please click here in order cast your vote prior to 12pm on Friday, August 14th. Each parent may cast one ballot for three candidates. Remember, students may not vote. Those elected will be notified the afternoon of Friday, August 14th and their names will be shared in the August 16th Green Sheet.

Student planners - in years past, TOHS paid for the production of planners for all 9th graders. Over the past two years, we've seen a decrease in the amount these planners are being used. Consequently, we've made the decision to forego this expense this year and we are strongly encouraging all students to use whatever planner they find find most useful (whether their own paper and pencil planner, or the digital planners that are available to them through their CVUSD Google account. The handbook portion of the planner (with all TOHS rules) can be found in every Green Sheet (see below) as well as on Canvas.

Last but not least. I want to remind everyone that we will be using our First Day schedule on the first day of school. We will only be using this schedule on the first day of both semesters. It is just a handful of days throughout the year when students will be attending all classes in a single day. Something new was added to our list of required responsibilities this year - TOHS is required to conduct a safety drill (where we'll have an earthquake drill, a lock-down drill, as well as an evacuation) during the first three days of school. We have opted to do that drill on day one. The first day's schedule can be found below.

That's it for now, I look forward to seeing everyone back on campus this week.

TOHS is committed to the core values that are spelled out in spelled out in the Lancer Way. This is what we expect of our students each and every day.

If you missed the link to the ballot in my letter above, please click here in order cast your vote prior to 12pm on Friday, August 14th. Each parent may cast one ballot for three candidates.

Registration for all students begins in the Multi-Purpose Room (MPR). At that time, students will be able to obtain their preliminary course assignments and get their picture taken for photos and ID cards. Students will also be able to check out their textbooks in the library. Each grade has been divided up alphabetically for check-in days. Please make sure that your students arrive at school during their assigned window.

**Note** If students owe fines, they cannot pick up textbooks until the fines are paid in full. The library will be open from 8:00 am-12:00 pm and from 1:30 – 3:00pm.

From August 4th through August 6th, CVUSD parents/guardians of secondary students (grades 6-12 and post-secondary) received an email titled “Student Account Password Update” with step-by-step instructions for establishing a new password for their student’s District Chromebook and ClassLink account. The email included each student's username and a temporary password, which is required to sign in and create a new password for the 2026–2027 school year.

All secondary students should complete the password reset process prior to the first day of school on August 19th to ensure a smooth start to the school year and to avoid potential login issues.

If you did not receive this email or need any additional assistance, please email technology@conejousd.org and include your student's name and student ID number.

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 school buses 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 $145.00, the 2nd sport/activity is $95.00, and there is no additional charge for 3 or more sports/activities. The maximum individual contribution is $240.00.

Please make your contribution here.

On behalf of the Athletics and Activities department, we appreciate your support!

Thousand Oaks High School

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.

For recent graduates enrolling at NCAA schools this Fall and for any other student-athletes being recruited by NCAA coaches, further discussions about this change should be directed to the athletics compliance office at those schools. The Eligibility Center is working to provide additional information about the student’s period of eligibility within certification accounts in early August. Please note that all other initial eligibility requirements for Division I and Division II remain unchanged.

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.
