Yearbook
All yearbooks, except for 6th grade, were passed out today. If your child did not receive one, and you feel this is an error, contact the office immediately. Beginning Wednesday morning at 7:30 AM, we will offer the few remaining yearbooks we have on hand for $50. Cash with exact change or a check is required. The yearbooks cannot be held through a phone call or message. They must be purchased in the office. They will be sold on a first come-first serve basis.
If all yearbooks are sold out in the office, you will be able to purchase them online to be shipped to your home. Visit the link here: https://link.entourageyearbooks.com/YBStore/YearbookStoreMain.asp?yearbook_id=88296&product_id=155870
This link is also good to purchase yearbooks from previous years.
Smarter Balanced and ELPAC Score Reports
This spring, students in grades three through six took the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for English language arts and math. Students in grade 5 also took the California Science Test. Students who are English Learners took the ELPAC. You can access your child's score report in the Aeries Parent Portal under "Test Scores" and then "State Electronic Score Reports." To learn more about your child’s scores, visit the Starting Smarter website at https://www.ca.startingsmarter.org/.

Attendance
If your child is absent, please call the office at 714-997-6265 or email Miss Cindi at cynthia.walsh@orangeusd.org to let us know why your child is not at school.
If you know your child will be absent in advance and you would like them to do work to receive credit for attendance, please contact the office as soon as possible. We can create an independent study contract for absences of any length, as long as the teacher has sufficient notice to prepare work. Three days used to be the minimum amount, but now we can do it for two days or more. By completing the work, your child will receive full credit on completed work during the time they are not at school, and their attendance will not be affected. If a child misses school due to a personal reason, this becomes a truancy; however, if your child completes their independent study contract it does not count as an absence.

Report cards are now available for viewing in the OUSD Parent Portal. If you would like us to provide you with a copy of the report card, please email or stop in the office to make a request. We will get it to you as soon as possible.

Nutrition Services
All students need to be sure they let their teacher know the day before they buy lunch. We may not have enough lunches if they do not request one. Also, please remind your child that they should not be getting lunch if they bring one. On Wednesdays, due to the modified schedule, lunch is not served. Instead, we serve brunch at recess. Please remind your child to let their teacher know on Tuesday that they will be buying brunch on Wednesday. You can find the lunch menu here: https://www.schoolnutritionandfitness.com/index.php?sid=2501081743337031&page=menus
