Burckhalter Bobcats have been busy out in nature! @oaklandgoesoutdoors organized a great trip to @ebrpd San Pablo Reservoir where our 5th graders tested water samples with guides from @ebmud_water. Our students then travelled to the water treatment facility in Walnut Creek to learn about the work that happens behind the scenes to make our water drinkable.

Follow for more field trip posts coming soon! taken in San Pablo Reservoir by @ousdcommunityschools

This week OUSD recognizes all Community School Managers but at Burckhalter we're more than a little biased. We know we're so lucky to have Ms. Mack as our CSM! She works tirelessly everyday to support students, families, and everyone in the Burckhalter community. She is a gifted educator with a true passion for this work. Thank you Ms. Mack for being a Bobcat! by @ousdcommunityschools

Why does the Manzanita Community School community love their CSM, Meredith Spencer? Here are just a few reasons:
⭐ She works intentionally to ensure that every member of the school community feels valued, heard, and supported.
⭐ She understands that student success depends on a coordinated and caring network of support.
⭐ Her leadership style is grounded in relationships, equity, and a genuine belief in the potential of every student.
⭐ She brings people together, strengthens systems, and creates a school community where everyone can feel a sense of belonging and possibility. taken in Manzanita Community School by @ousdcommunityschools

Raised in the same neighborhood where she now works, Brenda Saechao brings a deep understanding of the community to her work with Roosevelt Middle School students, families and staff.

Happy Community School Managers Week to Brenda and all of our incredible CSMs!

Learn more about Brenda from what her colleagues have to say:

"In her role as a CSM at Roosevelt, Ms. Brenda is able to give back to the San Antonio neighborhood where she grew up. She is one of OUSD's most veteran CSMs and her many years of service have made her deeply loved and respected across the Roosevelt community and beyond. Brenda pours her heart into connecting with the school's Bulldog Pups and linking them to the resources they need to become their best selves. As she puts it, "The work brings me joy!"—and she signs every email "In community with care," a phrase that captures exactly how she shows up. That care is matched by results: Brenda leans into attendance work from day one, building strong Tier 1 practices and running regular attendance challenges with joyful celebrations for students building great habits.

Ms. Brenda leads the site CHKS work each year and leans in deep to ensure that everyone in her school community is able to provide feedback on climate and culture. She understands how important school connectedness is for creating a school environment that feels safe for all." by @ousdcommunityschools
