Hello Mountain Oaks Families,

The window for the California Healthy Kids Survey is open.

The California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) is an anonymous, confidential survey of school climate and safety, student wellness, and youth resiliency. It is administered to students at grades five, seven, nine, and eleven. It enables schools and communities to collect and analyze data regarding local youth health risks and behaviors, school connectedness, school climate, protective factors, and school violence. The CHKS is part of a comprehensive data-driven decision-making process on improving school climate and student learning environment for overall school improvements.

California Education Code sections 51513 and 51938(c) specify that parent or guardian consent be granted before students are given questionnaires or surveys asking about personal beliefs or practices that include health behavior and risks. There are two kinds of parent or guardian consent: passive and active.
Active Consent (for 5th graders) requires that a parent or legal guardian be notified in writing and gives written permission for the student to participate in the survey. Active consent is required of the fifth grade CHKS survey.
Passive Consent (for 7th, 9th and 11th graders) requires that a parent or legal guardian be notified in writing about the survey and is given the opportunity to review the survey. Parents need to notify the school if they do not want their child to participate in the survey.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. Your opinion matters.

​Just a reminder that if you signed up for lunch and are not going to be on campus to get lunch please let us know before 11:00 that day.  That way we have time to inform the cafeteria lady and she won't prepare the food.  Just today alone we had 11 out of 18 students not show up for the lunches they ordered.  That is a lot of wasted food.  At some point, it could become an issue and we could lose the hot lunch program and only be able to offer shelf-stable lunches to our families.

​We were required to update our check-in procedures. All people must still check in on the iPads at the school sites (students, parents, siblings, and visitors). We have added a new section to the iPad system for MO Families and this area is for non-parent family members who come to the site regularly (grandparents, non-enrolled siblings, etc.). Parents and students still need to sign in under the appropriate Parent and Student sections. All Parents and MO Family Members need to wear a MO Family Member badge while on campus and return it to the basket on the counter at the end of the day. Non-Mtn. Oaks Family Member visitors are required to have a photo taken and wear a photo ID badge given to them. The system is in place at the San Andreas site and we will be starting soon at the Sonora and Sutter Creek sites. Posted 10/10/24

Hello Mountain Oaks Families!

As fall begins to peek its head out and the weather is changing (hopefully) we wanted to let you know of an exciting change to our rewards point system. We have retired the old "Rewards Catalog" due to low engagement and have streamlined spending points at the Book Fair. Students no longer have to worry about what their points are worth at the Book Fair with no change being given if they didn't spend in certain multiples. Now all points earned are simply: 1 point = $1. We have increased students' current balances to be in line with this change and have also similarly increased how many points are earned from all sources.

Please head to the Mountain Oaks homepage and look under "Academic Resources" and then "Student Rewards" to see the details of where/how students earn points as well as the form students can fill out to see their points balance.

Thanks!
-The Rewards Team
