Dear Toro Families,

First, please note that there will be No School on Monday, November 11, in observance of Veteran’s Day. This is a time to reflect on and honor the service of our veterans. We encourage everyone to take a moment to acknowledge their sacrifices and, if possible, participate in local events or community activities that pay tribute to our military service members.

On Friday, November 15, we will be wrapping up Trimester 1, which means it’s the end of the first grading period. Since this is a Minimum Day, students will be dismissed at 12:30pm. Please remind your student to check that all assignments are submitted and to address any outstanding work before the trimester ends.

With the end of Trimester 1, it’s a great time for students to reflect on their achievements and set new goals for the upcoming term. Encourage your student to think about what went well during the first trimester, what challenges they faced, and what strategies they can implement to improve in the second trimester.

The LCAP survey is open and we'd love your feedback. This annual survey is how we continue to be the best school for your students. If you'd like help or support completing this survey, please stop by one of our offices and we can do it together! Please see the link below.

With Toro Tenacity,

Dr. Mónica Luther

Principal

Yorba Middle School

Thank you for reviewing our school's Cell Phone and Dress Code policies with your student.

We appreciate your support to ensure we are prioritizing an academic and healthy social emotional environment for our students.

Student cell phones are allowed, but must be kept off in and in the backpack at all times. Should a parent or guardian need to contact a student during the school day, they can do so by contacting the main office. Students also have access to the office phones as needed. Students violating the cell phone policy will have their phones confiscated. In the event a student’s cell phone is confiscated, it will be held in the attendance office and must be picked up by the student’s parent or guardian. LOST or STOLEN personal items are NOT the responsibility of the school to locate or replace.

School Uniforms and PE Clothes are available for purchase in the front office.

Further Information can be found in our student handbook, linked above.
