NOHL CANYON ROADRUNNER NEWS

We are thrilled to welcome our Roadrunners back to campus! It has been a joy seeing the enthusiasm of our students this week. It serves as a reminder of why we all do what we do. A big thank you to our NCSA and families for all of their support helping us open this school year in successful fashion. We truly appreciate all of the care and support we receive from our community!

I would like to send a heartfelt welcome to our families and Mr. Jones for the warm reception Nohl Canyon has given me. I am excited to be with you and look forward to carrying forward the values and traditions that make Nohl Canyon Elementary a great place to be!

Construction on our new lunch shelter continues! We are expecting the pouring of concrete to be the next step in the process. Lunch benches have been moved to the grass area and E-Z UPs are providing temporary shade.

Nohl Canyon uses a "Staggered" Start and dismissal to provide some relief with traffic. Supervision in front of school begins at 7:40 am. After dismissal, supervision ends at 2:40 pm. All students need to be picked up by 2:40 pm.

With the possibility of rain this week, rest assured that we will adjust for recess and lunch as conditions permit. With rain, we will often remain inside classrooms during recess and lunch.

OUSD Message:

Good afternoon, Orange Unified Community!

We hope you are having a wonderful start to the 2023-24 school year. While this is not a message we would expect to send in August about the potential for inclement weather in our community, we want to inform you about the proactive measures we have in place to ensure the well-being of our students, staff, and families.

As of this morning, the National Weather Service is reporting that Hurricane Hilary remains a category 4 storm off Mexico’s Pacific Coast. Heavy rain and wind are expected in Southern California by the weekend and possibly into Monday.

While weather can be extremely unpredictable, please know that the district is working closely with our state and county partners as well as with our local first responders to closely monitor weather conditions. As we monitor the conditions over the weekend, we remain prepared to make and communicate any adjustments to one or more of our school’s schedules if needed to ensure the safety of our entire school community.

In the meantime, we encourage you to stay connected with us through our official communication channels, including School Messenger and Smore, the District website, and our social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram) for our latest updates and information.

Nohl Canyon Parents - if you need to park for drop-off/pick-up, or park to wait for your child, please utilize the following spots:

• Nohl Canyon Rd where available (do not block driveways or park on the school side of Nohl Canyon Rd.)
• Dog park parking lot (Behind school)

4th, 5th, 6th Grade Parents

• If you have a child in 4th, 5th, or 6th grade only (do not have a primary child), please avoid parking in our drop-off/pick-up lane until your dismissal time.
• If you need to arrive early, please park in our back EAST parking lot to wait for your child.
• We need to keep our drop-off/pick-up lane open for each dismissal time to allow a steady flow of traffic.

Best Scenario - please pick up during the dismissal time for your specific grade level. Please use our drop-off/ Pick-up lanes to meet your child while parent stays in the car. We understand some families have multiple children with staggered dismissal times. If you need to wait for your child, please utilize one of the parking spots listed above. This will allow a continuous flow of traffic during pick-up.
