PTSA Student Group:
The Colina PTSA student group has a new important project for the spring. They want to help homeless population in the Thousand Oaks community. They are asking for small cash donations of $2-5. Small care packages with warm socks and other necessities will be bought and distributed through a shelter organizer.
There is an envelope in the front office for the donations.
State Testing CAASPP: Please consider the following communication regarding Colina's calendar and upcoming state testing for CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress). A formal letter is attached to this message with specific information pertaining to the assessment. Our campus utilizes block scheduling to support student success with ample testing time.
