Before today ends, I’d like to take a moment to recognize all of our administrative professionals. I hope you all always know how very much your work is valued and how much you’re appreciated. Happy Administrative Professionals Day!

Our offices may be different, but our commitment to our students, staff and community will never change. By staying home and limiting our interactions with others we are working together to make a difference, today!

From Mr. Pruett: Dear Seniors of 2020, We as a staff and community know what your senior year means. It is one of the most important moments of your life, so far. As you go through life, there will be other milestones, but right now, this is the biggest for you. Things have not gone in any way that anyone could have predicted, but here we are, and we want to make sure our school, our families and our community get to celebrate your accomplishments. The Orestimba High School Staff wants to create a week that is all about you. We did not want to select a date early in the summer, just to be disappointed if it gets postponed again, so we have selected dates that are late in the summer before most of you head off in new directions pursuing your dreams. We realize the dates below may be cancelled; we have learned that nothing is certain. You need to know, however, that the staff at Orestimba cares about you getting a chance to celebrate your high school graduation. I know Mr. Reeves sent out notification that your senior trip was cancelled. I am sorry to say that due to the circumstances, we had little or no control over that disappointing decision, but we are working on a plan to make Prom 2020 free for every senior at Orestimba. You will still need to follow Mrs. Stearns’ instructions for signing up for and receiving prom bid, because we need to be able to plan for food and entertainment. We look forward to seeing you during senior week. Locations and times will be posted with updates: Prom: July 25 Baccalaureate: July 27th Senior sunset/ Senior Night Rave: July 29th 6pm to 9am Senior Awards: no date selected yet Graduation: July 31st

It is with a heavy heart that we have to send you this message. Due to the uncertainness of the current Covid-19 pandemic, we will be cancelling the annual senior trip to Southern California this year. Our account technician will be working on refunding all out of pocket payments made for the trip. Money earned for the trip through fundraisers, will be used for several end of the year activities. We know this is not the news you were hoping to hear. The administration and senior class advisors are working on a Senior Class Celebration that is scheduled for July 29th from 6:00 pm to 9:00 am on July 30th. There will be many activities for the graduating class to participate in that night. As the week goes on, there will be more announcements for new dates on Baccalaureate, Senior Awards, and of course graduation. As always, stay strong Warriors.

Campuses may be closed but our kitchens are still open! NCLUSD Nutrition Services provided 15,500 meals to children ages 1-18 from March 19, 2020 to March 31, 2020. Starting Monday, April 6, 2020 we will also be providing supper. Thank you to all of our wonderful staff who are making this possible! NCLUSD is continuing to work together to make a difference, today!

We have further guidance and directives from State Superintendent of Instruction Tony Thurmond and Governor Gavin Newsom to keep schools closed through the end of the current school year.

April 1, 2020 is Census Day! The Census is important because it helps to decide how much federal money our schools will get over the next ten years, and how much money our state will get for our parks, neighborhood improvements, public health, transportation, and many other programs and services. For more information on the Census go to https://2020census.gov/en.html
