June 2023

We finished the year off with doubling our internal assessment scores, a highly successful Boxland with over 200 people attending over two days, and brought back art and music classes. We also had engaging assemblies from recycling, yo-yos and Growth Mindset to BMX bikes. We got a few of our gardens growing, grew in enrollment by 20 students, and hired more staff for intervention classes for students. The budget grew and is in a healthy state, we now have waitlists for kinder, 1st and 2nd grades, and have made many changes in our building, including new flooring in classrooms. It was a busy but exciting year! Summer school starts soon and is full! Summer school will have fun and engaging math, science and English language arts classes, plenty of recess times 3x during the day, breakfast, snacks, and lunch, and art, music and dance classes in the afternoon. It is a great time to be at Oasis!  We are planning for another wonderful year and look forward to having everyone back on campus after they have a restful summer.

Field Trip Season! 

Our third graders went to the California Academy of Science via a nice charter bus!

 

Our fourth graders will be heading to downtown Monterey for a California History tour via a nice charter bus.

Great field trips for extended and deeper learning for our students organized by our hard working teachers!

We started a contract with Care Solace. Information has been sent to families. Care Solace is a mental health referral system to help families with the difficult work of finding mental health care. Care Solace will do that work for families and provide them with a list of mental health providers they can call for help.

 

January 2023
Welcome to the New Year and the continuation of our 22-23 School Year!

January brings some new staff on campus.

We are excited to welcome Andy Franco, who has his MS teaching credential and has worked extensively in ELA intervention. He will join Cori and Marissa on our Intervention Team and will do ELA intervention with Cori. 

We have Nicole Borba joining us from Monterey County Social Services to be our Social Worker/Behavior Coordinator. She will work closely with our school counselor and administration. Nicole comes to us with extensive experience working with children through CPS and Juvenile Hall, her experience working with children experiencing trauma will be valuable as she will be our behavior coordinator. 

The GALA Enrichment will get started this month. We will culminate what students learned at the GALA event in March, more information coming. 

Staff Trainings this month: staff will complete their McKinney-Vento Program training and trauma-informed training on January 9. 

Students and Staff will be celebrating the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday on January 16th and school will be closed. I encourage you to find ways for your children to be involved in their community in a positive way. This day is called a Community Day of Service. 

As always, thank you for allowing us to educate, smile and laugh with and watch your children grow while they are with us at Oasis Charter Public School.
