Five-Year Cycle for Early and Late Start Bell TimesTo provide equity regarding early and late-start elementary schools, the OUSD Board of Education adopted Board Policy 6112 in March 2007. This policy was designedto incorporate a five-year rotation in the bell schedules of the district’s 16 elementary schools. In August 2012, a new five-year cycle begins, thereby shifting all late-start schools (Del Rio, Garrison, Libby, Nichols, North Terrace, Foussat and South Oceanside) to early-start schedules – 8:15 a.m. to 2:55 p.m., with early dismissal on Wednesdays at 12:25 p.m. Schools that had previously operated on the early-bell schedule (Ivey Ranch, Laurel, McAuliffe, Reynolds, San Luis Rey and Stuart Mesa) will shift to a late-start schedule – 8:55 a.m. to 3:35 p.m., with early dismissal on Wednesdays at 1:05 p.m. Due to anticipated modernization and renovation, bell schedules for Palmquist Elementary (early) and Mission Elementary (late) will not change. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school site. Again, the rotation in the elementary bell schedule begins with the new school year in August 2012. Middle and high schools bell schedules will remain the same as previous years. The district appreciates your cooperation and understanding in preparing for the 2012-13 school year.
New District Calendar for Start of 2013-14 School YearBeginning 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.
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. South O Odyssey After School Enrichment Classes- Session 2Registration is open for Session 2 of the after school enrichment classes.

Talk about a big splash! Three South Oceanside Elementary School fifth-graders swept the top three prizes in this year’s San Diego Water Authority’s “Be SmART” essay/art contest. Following the theme, “How Being Water Smart is Cool,” Blake Gorham, Madie Walls and Alexa McGinnis finished 1-2-3 in the annual contest, which drew more than 400 entries countywide. 
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. 
Parents interested in sending a child to a school other than his/her current school of residence may apply for a change of campus through the district’s School of Choice (SOC) option. The Second Window for SOC begins Monday, April 2. All SOC applications must be completed and returned no later than 3 p.m. on Thursday, June 7.
