Order info
We have worked to provide a streamlined approach in directing you to online merchants from whom you may purchase your course materials. Rather than shopping around online at multiple merchant sites one by one, this link allows you to obtain the same results with just a few simple clicks. It eliminates the need to copy and paste multiple ISBNs over and over again into individual merchant sites in order to find the best deal.
Free Online Tutoring Available
Details posted in the CSF Digital Tutoring Classroom
CSF (California Scholarship Federation) students will be offering free online tutoring via Zoom. Students who need some additional tutoring in a subject should join the CSF Digital Tutoring Classroom and use join code: oigepus.

Co-Curricular Club & Team Coaches Needed
Parent or Alumni help needed for Speech & Debate!
Thank you for the outpouring of support for several of our campus clubs and academic teams that were in need of volunteer coaches. Our Mock Trial Team is fully staffed with a team of parent and alumni attorney coaches.
We are still in need of a co-coach for the Speech and Debate team.
Parent coaches all receive volunteer hours through VIP for their service to our students.

Campus Security: Pick-up and Drop-off Procedures
Please take note of these important procedures for picking-up and dropping-off during the school day.
If you need to pick-up or drop-off an item for your son during the school day, please do so on Jacob Lane through the Dean’s Office, and not from the Fair Oaks entrance near the Gym/Harris Center area. Our Campus Security Team works hard to identify people who are coming onto campus during the course of the school day and your attention to this drop-off/pick-up procedure will help them to maintain the safety of everyone on campus. If you would like to have your son come out to the car to pick-up an item so that you do not have to get out of the car, please have him check
