Make Money for King Every Time You Grocery Shop!!!

Dear Parents and Staff,

Here is an easy way for our school to make money, and it doesn't cost you a thing!  We all have to eat, so we are asking you to register your Ralph's grocery store cards (and Von's, Macy's, or other participating merchant cards ~ see the Escrip merchant list).  Tell everyone you know to register theirs as well.  All you have to do is take a few minutes to register, then use your cards when you shop!!!

Estimados padres,

Aqui estan unas maneras de recaudar dinero para la escuela.  Si tienen una tarjeta de las tiendas Ralph's o Von's, estamos pidiendo que registren su tarjeta en el internet.  Solamente tienen que registrarla y usarla cuando vayan de compras.

New Calendar for 2013-14

Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, the first day of class for all OUSD students will be Tuesday, August 20, 2013.  The slightly earlier start date is a result of a new district-wide calendar unanimously approved by the OUSD Board of Education.  The change was made during the board’s regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday, March 13, 2012. 

school_calendar.jpgOther minor changes regarding the revised calendar beginning in 2013-14 include a shorter Thanksgiving Week holiday and an end to the first semester at the winter break (December 20, 2013).  The last day of instruction for students will be June 4, 2014. 

The district asks that all OUSD families please take note of these changes in order to plan accordingly for the start of school in August 2013.  For questions regarding the calendar change, please call 760-966-4008.  

Friday, May 24th, is a minimum day. Dismissal at 12:20. No school Monday, May 27th.

PROMOTION AND BEACH BASH INFORMATION

diploma.jpgDear Parents and Eighth Grade Students,

Believe it or not, it’s time to start planning the end of the year activities for our eighth grade students. As we begin our second semester of the 2012-2013 school year, we should all be reminded how exciting this time of year is for all our students, but especially our eighth graders. Eighth grade students will be excited about the beach bash and promotion, as well as moving to the high school.

Traditionally at this time a year, we find that many of our students start to lose interest in schoolwork and increase their interest in socialization. However, it is King's expectation that all students continue to follow the district, school, and classroom policies that were set forth at the beginning of this school year and reinforced throughout. In order to ensure that all students are prepared for promotion and the beach bash, we decided to start early and remind often!

The end of the year activities have a criteria that must be met. Students who do not meet the criteria will not be allowed to attend.beach.jpg  Letters have been mailed home to the families of all 8th grade students.  For a copy of the letter in English and Spanish, click HERE.  This letter outlines the new criteria that has been established for this year's promotion and Beach Bash, including a new GPA requirement and dress code.  It is important that EVERYONE understand what our expectations are.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact an administrator or counselor.
