We are holding a Make-Up Mandatory Science Camp Meeting on January 12th at 12:30 pm at the San Andreas Campus. A parent must attend to be able to go to Science Camp. There is paperwork we need to complete for science camp so we do need people to come in person.

Annual Retreat/Business Meeting

Please come join us for our 32nd Annual Retreat/Business Meeting on January 26th from 8:45-3:00 PM at the San Andreas site. This is the one time each year where we get together from all of our sites to talk about the vision and future of Mountain Oaks. Our families are the driving force of everything we do at Mountain Oaks, and we need your input during the Retreat and also on the Annual Surveys. We will be serving a light breakfast of muffins, Danishes, and fruit for our parents and high school students. Participants are asked to please RSVP by January 21st so that we can have a count turned into the lunch catering company (La Esperanza Taco Truck). We cannot guarantee lunch for anyone who signs up after the deadline.

We ask that our Parents and our High School students complete the Annual Survey by January 19th to allow us time to gather the data and present it at the Annual Retreat. We know that your time is valuable and have updated and shortened the survey a lot. This information is very valuable to us in the planning for the next school year. We use this for planning workshops, field trips, special events, and curriculum purchases. This information is also used to figure out how we can improve our school and what the needs and wants are of our community.
