Dear Oakmont Families,

I hope this newsletter finds you well and ready for an exciting week ahead! We have several important updates and reminders to share with you all.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Student-Led Conferences

We're thrilled to report that our student-led conferences were a huge success! It was wonderful to see our students take ownership of their learning and showcase their progress to their families. As a reminder, report cards were sent home Friday. If you haven't received your child's report card, please contact your child's teacher.

📚Reading Party

Congratulations to all our amazing readers who met their second trimester reading goals! We're so proud of your dedication and hard work. Remember, each student's goal is tailored to their individual needs and abilities.

The excitement doesn't stop there! We're setting new reading goals for the third trimester, and we want to see EVERYONE at our next reading party in June. Keep up the great work, and let's make it happen!

March Interim Assessments

During March, students in grades 3-6 will take Interim Assessment Blocks (IAB) Performance Tasks in both English Language Arts and Math. These assessments are administered on the same platform as the California state test (CAASPP).

IABs serve two important purposes:

They provide valuable data to help us monitor student progress and guide instruction.
They allow students to practice and become familiar with the question types and testing format.

Please encourage your child to put forth their best effort each day, ask for help when needed, and take these assessments seriously. Every day is an opportunity for growth, and consistent effort will help them feel more confident and prepared

Support During Ramadan

As part of CUSD's commitment to supporting all students, Nutrition Services will be offering grab-and-go meal options for students who are fasting during Ramadan March 3-28, 2025. These meals will be available for students to pick up after-school and consume later when they break their fast.

Please submit a Request for Meals Form if your child would like to receive these meals. The form along with heating instructions are posted on the Nutrition Services website under the Ramadan To-Go Meals tab.
