What's Happening at Del Rio!
June 6, 2024
Good evening Viking Families!
All of our promotion and celebrations were a huge success! Thank you for coming to celebrate with us! As our 5th graders head off to middle school, I want to wish them well. Make sure to continue to make good choices to make your Viking family proud!
It has been such a joy to work with all of your students, and to partner with your families throughout this year! Thank you for all that you have done to support our Del Rio community. Though we have collected devices, students have the ability to practice with i-Ready throughout the summer to keep up their skills and prepare for the new school year. If your teacher has communicated with you about items that were left in the classroom, we will have them ready for you in the office. Our office will still be open to support our families through the 24th of June. Please feel free to call or stop by if you need something. Be on the lookout for information about data confirmation as we get closer to the new school year. We look forward to seeing everyone back for the first day of school on August 15, 2024!
State test score reports including English Language Proficiency Assessment for California (ELPAC), English Language Arts, Math and Science for grades 3 through 8 and High School will be available in the Aeries parent portal at my.oside.us. Results should be available June 12. For directions on obtaining the results or assistance in logging into the parent portal go to oside.us or contact the front office.
Have a great summer!
Preregistration for the 2024-2025 School Year
Pre-Registration for 2024-2025 school year is open on our OUSD website.
Aeries Online Enrollment allows you to quickly start the process of enrolling a student for school. Information about the student such as emergency contacts, medical and language information will be collected.
Once in Aeries, to get started enrolling a new student click the “Enroll A New Student” button. Make sure to select “2024-2025” year from the drop down menu. After you have pre-registered online, school sites will be reaching out to families in May 2024.
Transitional Kindergarten (TK): Use Aeries Online Enrollment to enroll your student in TK if they turn five between Sept 2nd, 2024 and June 2nd, 2025. Click here for more information about TK enrollment.
For the following programs, please note the process for enrollment.
State Preschool Students
Please go to the state preschool website for all registration forms and information. OUSD hosts 2 state-funded preschool sites:
- North Terrace School
- Santa Margarita School
Please note that Santa Margarita is only available to families with access to Camp Pendleton.
Special Education Preschool Students (With existing IEP newly moved into the district)
To be assigned to an attendance school Special Education Preschool Students must register in person at:
OUSD Educational Support Services (ESS)
2080 Mission Ave
or call (760) 901-7878 to make an appointment.
Please bring a copy of your child’s current IEP, birth certificate, immunizations, and proof of residency (2 documents).
Dual Language Immersion (also known as Two Way Bilingual Immersion)
After you have pre-registered your kindergarten student, if you are interested in enrolling them in this program, please fill out this form.
Reporting Absences
Please remember that ALL absences from school need to be reported to our school, letting us know the reason that your student has missed school! When you need to report your student's absence, please email us Attendance.des@oside.us. Often our main office phones are very busy in the mornings and this is a faster and easier way to report your student's absence! You can also call our Attendance Line at (760)901-7301, but please speak slowly and clearly, as many times the messages are difficult for our staff to hear.
Arrival and Dismissal
- If you are not in the drop off/pick up line, you may not double park or block parking spaces in the parking lot. Do not park on the red curb in the traffic circle. You must use a parking spot in the lot even if you are waiting with your car!
- Please do not block the crosswalk at the entry to our parking lot, and be vigilant about watching for students!
- Have your child ready with their backpack with them, so that the driver does not need to get out of the car. Please stay with your car and continue to pull forward!
- If you are dropping off in the car line at the front gate, please remember that the driver must stay with their car, and that you need to pull all the way up to the stop sign at the top of the circle so that we can keep traffic flowing.
- Please wait until you have gotten past the cones/crosswalk to let your student(s) out of the car. It keeps everything moving faster!
- Your car must be pulled up to the curb before any students can enter or exit a vehicle, so please do not double park!
- If you do park in either parking lot, you must walk up and accompany your student using a crosswalk. They will not be allowed to walk out to cross into the parking lot on their own.
Del Rio School Handbook 2023-24
Please take a few moments to read through our Del Rio School Handbook. It includes information about how to contact our staff, how to report attendance, school policies and procedures, and available supports for your student. Reach out to our office if you have any questions!
Breakfast is available before school from 7:45-8:15am!
In the Spring, I shared some upcoming changes to our breakfast program. Beginning on the first day of school, all students may go to the cafeteria from 7:45 to 8:15 to eat breakfast, free of charge. If you think your student will be eating at school, please plan to have them here as early as possible to have time to finish eating before the bell rings at 8:15. Students will line up and go straight to class at 8:15!
Blackboard is the way to communicate with your student's teacher!
OUSD messages families using a platform called Blackboard Communications. This allows teachers and staff to send an email, text or voice message directly to the email address or phone number you have listed in Aeries. It’s important that all the adults in your student’s life have updated contact information in Aeries so everyone can receive important messages from your student’s school.
You no longer need to download any third party apps to receive messages from OUSD. The only district supported app that families should download is the OUSD app.Check your email or spam folder. Your login and password for the app have been sent from
noreply@parentlink.net to the email you have in Aeries.
