Community of Oakdale, 04/01/2020
I want to thank you for your assistance in a safe and efficient closure of schools. As we have navigated the first weeks of closure, the State Superintendent of Instruction Tony Thurmond and Governor Gavin Newsom have now directed that all schools in the state remain closed through the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. We need all students to fully turn their attention to their respective school’s distance learning platform and stay current with the strategic activities listed by their teachers. The OJUSD will begin collecting student work for credit/grades beginning the week of 4/20/20. It is imperative that we give all our students, and particularly our seniors, a chance to address any grades that need improvement. The work collected will only be used to improve a student end of year/semester grade. Again, I cannot overemphasize the importance of students contacting their teachers via our distance learning platform located on each school site’s individual website.
We will work with each graduating class to find a date later in the summer/fall to hold the graduations. As a District we are fully committed to providing our students the traditional ceremonies as soon as social distancing protocols are lifted.
In the coming days and weeks, we will provide more information regarding grades, transcripts, scholarships, summer school and continued distance learning instruction.
Please stay safe and follow the safety procedures that have been established by Stanislaus County Public Health.

Dear Sierra View Families,
Please refer to the OJUSD and Sierra view website regarding updated information about the COVID-19 OJUSD closure.
To support your family during this time, the OJUSD is taking the following actions: Enrichment packets are being sent home with students in grades K-8. If a student was not at school to receive the packet, they can request that a grade-level packet be mailed home (please refer to the OJUSD website www.ojusd.org "Enrichment Activities" icon. Additionally, all students will have the opportunity to connect with their teacher via an online platform that has been developed by the district and will be activated as of Thursday, March 19th. The teacher platform can be accessed via the "Enrichment Opportunities" icon.
My hope is for you and your family to stay healthy and safe during this time.
