OUSD Calendar Change

August 10, 2011 By

The Oakland Unified School District has amended the previously published 2011-2012 district calendar as follows:

* Monday, Jan. 2, 2012 has been designated as a New Year’s Day Holiday. Following the winter break, classes resume on Jan. 3, 2012

* An extra day has been added to the end of the school year, so the last day of school will be Friday, June 15, 2012 not Thursday, June 14 as previously announced.

Tdap vaccinations

August 10, 2011 By

Tdap Vaccination Required to Register for the 2011-12 School Year

All  rising 7th grade – 12th grade students must have the Tdap vaccination in order to start school in the fall.  If your child has not had this shot, make sure they get one before registration.   If your child has had a Tdap booster shot after the age of seven, you can bring proof from your doctor to registration.  The Tdap vaccination requirement is a new State policy and students will not be allowed to register for school without proof from a doctor. Rising 6th grade students are not required to have this vaccination in order to start school in the fall.

Correction: an earlier version of this post did not state that rising 6th graders are not required to have this vaccination in order to start school in the fall.
