From the Desk of Robogal 9000:

What’s good, Olinda Families? Here are your updates for the week of September 13th through the 17th!

We are no longer partnered with Predicine labs as our covid testing supplier- we now have LSA and a new paperless system to put students into- no more Xeroxing! No more filling! No more Trapper Keepers bursting to capacity! (Aside, RIP my Trapper Keeper, such sad, much mourning, gosh.) To help explain the new system and provide more information the District will host a live information session on Wednesday, September 15 at 5:30 p.m. on Facebook to discuss the new testing process and answer any questions that you have. To submit your questions at feedback@wccusd.net.Our testing day at Olinda is Friday.

Please don’t arrive on campus before 8 am for breakfast- The MPR needs time to set up and we don’t have staff available until then. When arriving for the start of day- please get there no earlier than 15 minutes before the start of class. TK and K students will go to the front gate by the garden. First through sixth graders can go either to the ramp or Castro Ranch road gates at 8:40.. Morning stroll starts at 8:45, and class starts at 9. Please don’t park in the drop off lane of the parking lot.

Water bottles are so important! Please make sure your student has a water bottle with them everyday. We no longer have drinking fountains at all- just filling stations in the hall, in the MPR, and at the outside restroom entrance. The PTA bought us very spiffy metal bottles that have been passed out and student names written on them , but we only have enough for one per student when they need one. Support our PTA by donating to their fundraisers- upcoming ones include Mod Pizza night, Chipotle night, and a direct drive- no extra anything necessary write a check and pop that bad boy in the mail event
