Looking for Kindergarten in the OUSD
The OUSD school options window is closing in mid-January (process info) (application info). I received a recent email through the Dimond Families Yahoo Group talking about Sequoia Elementary if you're interested and/or still looking. Here's a reprinting of the text of the email.
"Sill undecided about kindergarten?
If so, you are invited to a Sequoia Elementary Parents Panel, to be held at the Dimond Library on Monday, January 7th, at 6 pm. This is an opportunity to meet a variety of current Sequoia parents, ask them questions, and learn about their experiences at Sequoia. Come find out why many Dimond families are sending their children to Sequoia and are enthusiastic about the school community they have discovered.
Monday, January 7th, 6-8pm
Dimond Library (upstairs)
3565 Fruitvale Avenue
Please note: this event is NOT at Sequoia Elementary School!
P.S. If you're thinking about Sequoia for kindergarten, other families with pre-K Sequoia students would love to meet you. To find out about monthly pre-K Sequoia playdates, email sequoiaplaydates@ gmail.com to find out when and where.

I've been hearing good things about Sequoiah for years; sadly for my own kids' puboic school, several of my sons' classmates transferred to Sequoiah this fall. (our school is small, a magnet, and only went up to 2d grade although they're adding third for 08-09) One of the first grade teachers was in a baby playgroup with me years ago and has only good things to report about the school and its principal.
there is good stuff going on at sequoia. lot's of community families seeking to get involved, covenant together to attend the school and to get involved to help transform the school to even better....they have an amazing art program there - with an artist-in-residence. very cool.
it's a challenge to see such good stuff and such quality folks working to help birth new and enable existing opportunities in ousd. i don't understand why it doesn't change faster. maybe it can't? then again maybe recognizing that you can't change a system is the first step?
