Hello Mountain Oaks Community Members,

Roxanna Rabe, Mountain Oaks Board Member, Vice President conducted a series of Facewalks in January and February 2025. Roxanna presented the results of the Facewalk to our Board at our last meeting, Mar 12, 2025. Our board members asked our Administrative team to address questions and concerns in writing and post them on our social media platforms similar to how we addressed questions and concerns from past surveys and our last Annual Retreat.

Please read the attached document. (Click article title to view.) These are the questions we were given and our responses to them.

You can contact me directly if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you
Kathleen

TDAP Clinic

The Health department is willing to come to Mountain Oaks and give free TDAP to any student who is in need of getting the TDAP immunization and does not have private insurance. Parents must be present with them for the student to receive the immunization.

This is great for our 6th graders, so that they will be compliant for the immunization requirements for 7th grade. They will not come out unless we have students who want to receive the free immunization. This is a great way to get it done easily and free.

All students must be up-to-date on their immunizations to be able to attend school group activities, such as: workshops, field trips and special events. Students who are not fully immunized can be enrolled and meet one-on-one with their mentor teacher but cannot participate in group activities.

Please click on the title to complete the TDAP Survey before April 11th so that we can get a date and time scheduled with the Health Department.

Lunches

We contract with Calaveras River Academy for our food services and hot lunches. They are currently in the process of hiring someone after receiving notice that their previous employee would not be returning. Unfortunately, we will only be able to offer shelf-stable lunches while they are in the process of hiring someone. Families must still sign-up 5 days in advance through the lunch program and list "Shelf Stable" as their chosen lunch. We need to know in advance to make sure we have enough items to make the necessary lunches. Once they have someone hired, we will post the hot lunch menu. Families are still required to sign up 5 days in advance for the shelf-stable lunches. Posted 4/2/25

Sonora Satellite Resource Center Closing

Dear Mountain Oaks Community Members,

I regret to inform you that due to circumstances beyond our control, we will be closing the Mountain Oaks Sonora Satellite Resource Center at the end of the 24/25 school year. The building we are currently in was sold a few months ago. Unfortunately, we have been unable to secure a renewal of our lease for the building, which has led to this difficult decision.

All High School Formal Prom

The Mountain Oaks All High School Formal Prom will be on Saturday, May 3, 2025 from 7:00-10:00 PM in the Mountain Oaks Gymnasium in San Andreas. The cost is $25 for Singles for $40 for Couples. All students wanting to attend must complete a Special Events Permission Slip, no later than April 25th. All slips must be approved by the school administrator.

Sutter's Fort

We are going to Living History Day on April 17th. This is an overnight trip where students experience life on the Gold Rush Fields of California. This is a huge deal and so exciting for students. It also involves a lot of participation. I would love for you all to encourage students to join, and I would love if parents and teachers would join us as volunteers. We have many stations that staff and parents need to run.

Families, this is a free event that is put together by all of YOUR hard work. Please, lets all work together to put together an amazing experience for our students.

CAASPP Letter

Thank you to all of our Mountain Oak families. We appreciate you and how you support your student(s) in our program. All families will be receiving the attached letter in the mail next week. Yes, we are sending it to families that do not have students eligible for the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). We want all families to know how important the CAASPP scores are to the continued success of our school.

I encourage you to reach out to me and/or your mentor teacher if you have any questions regarding how CAASPP, iReady and MAP assessments impact our continued growth at Mountain Oaks.
