Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, the first day of class for all OUSD students will be Tuesday, August 20, 2013.  The slightly earlier start date is a result of a new district-wide calendar unanimously approved by the OUSD Board of Education.  The change was made during the board’s regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday, March 13, 2012. 

Other minor changes regarding the revised calendar beginning in 2013-14 include a shorter Thanksgiving Week holiday and an end to the first semester at the winter break (December 20, 2013).  The last day of instruction for students will be June 4, 2014. 

The district asks that all OUSD families please take note of these changes in order to plan accordingly for the start of school in August 2013.  For questions regarding the calendar change, please call 760-966-4008.  

The computer age just got a bit stronger at San Luis Rey Elementary School, thanks in part to a generous $25,000 donation from community partner Assistance League North Coast (ALNC).  The local non-profit group has chosen San Luis Rey in an effort to step its philanthropic assistance to students in the North County.

The organization presented Principal Michael Hargrove a check for $25,00 at Tuesday's Board of Education meeting.   The money will be used to provide the school a new computer lab.  During the 2009-10 school year, ALNC donated more than $40,000 in books, shoes and clothing to the district.

Kindergarten parents, did you know that the school lunch is available for your child, not only on Wednesdays, but every day of the week?  If they qualify for the Free Lunch Program or if you pay for their lunch, the student can eat a nutritious meal every day.  With the morning Kindergarten students, you can bring your child to the lunch room after you pick them up from the classroom. 

For afternoon students, you can bring them a little early before their class starts and have them eat lunch.  Please call the school at 760.757.2360 for more information or if you have questions.
