Hello Tiger Families-
 
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at Sherman Oaks Elementary Charter School.  
We are looking forward to an outstanding year.

 At Sherman Oaks, our vision is
     “Educating students for success in a changing world”
 
Sunday, September 22, is the first day of Fall.  We begin to experience the signs of the new season. The weather is starting to cool, and soon the leaves will change colors, creating beautiful scenery around our school and community. Fall is a time of transition and reflection, and it's a wonderful opportunity to focus on growth—both academically and personally.
Let's embrace the season of change with renewed energy and excitement as we continue to support our students’ success!
 
CHARLESTON WRAP FUNDRAISER UPDATE:
Exciting News! Our Fundraising Deadline Has Been EXTENDED to October 7! 🎉
We’re so close to reaching our $4,000 goal—thanks to everyone who has participated so far! We’ve already raised $3,600, and with just a little more effort, we can make it! 🙌
Let’s push through this final stretch to bring Promethean Boards to our classrooms, enhancing learning for all our students. Please remember to register, shop, and share at www.registercw.com, and don’t forget to email, text, and share on social media!
Together, we can make it happen! Thank you for your incredible support!  
 
SPIRIT DAY: 
Wednesday, October 2, is Spirit Day! As we continue celebrating our school's Centennial, we're taking a journey back to the 1930s and '40s. Encourage your child to come dressed in styles from these decades as we honor this special era in our school's history. Let’s show our school spirit and make this another memorable day in our Centennial celebration!
 
ATTENDANCE: 
Congratulations to Ms. Brighton's and Ms. Garland's classes for reaching the iAttend goal for September! Both classes achieved 10 or more days of perfect attendance, earning a well-deserved popsicle party! Thank you to all the students and families for your dedication to being here every day. Keep up the great work, and let’s continue striving for success!

SCHOOL BEAUTIFICATION: 
A heartfelt thank you to all our families and dedicated staff who came out for School Beautification Day on Saturday! With a focus on the Kindergarten Yard, the J-Yard, and the area behind the primary building, our SOEC community showed up in full force. Together, we painted, power washed, swept pine needles, and more. The transformation is amazing—truly a labor of love. Your hard work and commitment have made our campus shine!
 
Join Us for Spirit Days as We Celebrate Our Centennial! 🎉
Parents, let's make our Spirit Days unforgettable by helping your child participate in our “Centennial Celebration”! Each month, we’ll be celebrating a different decade, bringing history to life through music and fashion. On Walking Wednesdays, the music of that decade will set the tone as we walk into school.
Spirit Day Schedule:
 
Dec. 4: 1950s
Jan. 8: 1960s
Feb. 5: 1970s
Mar. 5: 1980s

Here's to a great year of learning and growth!
 
Warm regards,

2022-2026 LAUSD STRATEGIC PLAN: READY FOR THE WORLD
For the next four years, Los Angeles Unified will focus on a singular goal: ensure ALL our students graduate READY FOR THE WORLD – to thrive in college, career, and life. This Strategic Plan represents a promise to our entire Los Angeles Unified community that we will achieve this goal. With this plan, we are establishing a new, inspiring vision on how we can improve student achievement and close opportunity gaps. We believe that by outlining a singular goal, and a vision for achieving this goal, we can ensure that everyone who is a part of Los Angeles Unified will be able to support and uplift our district together.
 
Our singular goal: ensure ALL our students graduate READY FOR THE WORLD – to thrive in college, career, and life.
 
Through a robust listening and engagement effort capturing diverse voices from across the District, we have established a shared vision of what student success looks like and what being ready for the world means; this plan will serve as a roadmap outlining all of the steps we will take to realize this vision. This plan is designed to inform actions that can be taken at the school site, through the district office, and in our communities to drive student success and move toward our singular goal, creating alignment across the District on the ways we can best serve our students and our school communities.
 
We acknowledge that the last two years have been difficult for our students, staff, and families – the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged us in many ways and forced us to rethink how we provide for our students.
And while we will continue to respond to the impact of a pandemic still present in our communities, this plan will allow us to elevate the ways in which we have adapted positively to serve our students and highlight the promising practices we will institute to carry us forward. We will capture the urgency of our current moment and work together to transform into a stronger, more inclusive, and more responsive district.
