Good morning excellent E.O. Green staff, parents and guardians,

First of all, thank you for participating in the Trimester 1 Parent Conferences. It is always essential to continue ongoing communication with your child’s teachers to support your students' academic growth.

Please be aware that we have coordinated with the Oxnard Police Department a LOCKDOWN Drill for this week 12/13-12/17/21. Please do not be alarmed; it is a drill to practice the safety protocols.

According to the weather forecast, we will have rain on Monday, December 13 and Tuesday, December 14. Ensure your student wears the appropriate jacket. Review the expectation to avoid puddles of water and stay dry as much as possible.

Student Virtual Assembly - Wednesday, December 15, 2021at 2:30 pm.

The Renaissance Staff Team will facilitate a virtual Hornet of the Trimester to recognize students for their hard work, dedication, or anything else you wish to acknowledge their growth and achievements.

Friday, December 17, 2021, is a Minimum Instructional Day.

Therefore, ALL students will be dismissed at 11:15 am. Please pick up your student on time and make arrangements accordingly. The school will be closed December 20th - December 31st. Classes resume on Monday, January 3, 2022 at regular hours.

We will have construction taking place on our campus during the winter break. We appreciate your understanding.

Have a safe Winter Break and enjoy the holidays.

Dear HESD Families,

In the last days, several of our students and families have reported hearing verbal rumors of threats and seeing school shooting threats posted on social media. The verbal threats quickly circulated through schools in our district, and one social media post said the word “Hueneme.” These threats were immediately reported to the Oxnard Police Department and the Port Hueneme Police Department. OPD and PHPD investigated and determined the threats were not credible.

Schools across the country and here locally are seeing an increase in students making inappropriate and potentially dangerous posts to social media, particularly on Instagram. This week alone, there have been a variety of social media posts that created a significant disturbance at a high school in Oxnard. This led to the suspensions and arrests of the student suspected of posting it.

HESD takes all threats very seriously. It is important for students and families to immediately report any rumor they hear about harming anyone on our campuses to a teacher or school administrator. By staying vigilant and alerting adults to any potential concerns, we can all do our part to ensure our schools remain safe. The safety of every student and staff member at our schools is our top concern and we appreciate your partnership in that effort.

Sincerely,

Dr. Christine Walker Superintendent
