A Note from the Principal

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We hope this message finds you well and enjoying the spring season. As we continue to strive for excellence in education and community engagement, we wish to update you on several important dates and initiatives in the coming days.

ONEHS Canned Food Drive Success
A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for your generous support of the ONEHS Canned Food Drive Fundraiser Dance. Your contributions not only made the event a success but also demonstrated the strength and compassion of our community. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of those in need.

World Autism Awareness Day
In recognition of World Autism Awareness Day on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, we encourage students to wear their blue uniform polo shirts. This act of solidarity is a beautiful way to show support for individuals with autism and their families. Thank you in advance for participating in this important cause.

Paraprofessional Appreciation Day

Wednesday, April 2, 2024 is Paraprofessional Appreciation Day. Help us celebrate the paraprofessionals that help us with your children day in and day out.

End of Year Awards Ceremonies

We know that it is important to be able to plan ahead. Please see the End of Year Awards Ceremonies schedule flyer below. We look forward to celebrating all of our Ocelots after another wonderful year of learning and growth.

Dress Code Reminder
As we approach the next week, please be reminded that there will be no dress-up days. It is essential that all students adhere to the regular dress code. We kindly ask for your cooperation to ensure that your child(ren) come to school in their appropriate uniform, as outlined below:

Bottoms: Khaki, Navy, or BLUE jean pants, shorts, or skirts. (Please note, no black bottoms are allowed.)
Tops: Red, navy blue, or white polo-style shirts from Monday to Friday. On Thursdays, students may wear college/university attire, and on Fridays, they can wear their school spirit shirts.
Outerwear: All jackets/sweaters must have a zipper. (Please note, no hoodies are allowed.)

We appreciate your continued support and cooperation in maintaining a positive and respectful learning environment for all our students. Should you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Warm regards,

Mrs. Jennifer Garcia
Olmito Elementary School
