SDOC Website 

The district will launch a new website platform for all sites in early July.  Website addresses, such as www.sdoc.org, will not change but you will find a whole new look upon navigating to our sites.  The new design is based on survey feedback we received from stakeholders.  You will likely see some pages still “under construction” but we are excited to bring our students, families, and community a much more user-friendly platform and look forward to adding features, including an SDOC Mobile app, throughout the fall. 

Student Registration

Student registration will open in late July.  Returning students with an email on file in Powerschool will receive an email with information needed to register. If you do not receive an email for your returning student by the last week in July, please reach out to your student’s school.  New students should refer to the “Enroll” page on the district website. 

Student Meals

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced that ALL STUDENTS will receive free breakfast and lunch for the 2021-2022 school year.  Students will be allowed to get one “reimbursable” school meal (entree, fruits & vegetables, milk) for no cost.  Students will be responsible for the cost of any additional food purchased.  It is VITAL for families to still complete the Free/Reduced Meal Application. The district receives significant federal and state funding that is based on the number of families that qualify for free or reduced cost meals.   These funds provide extra services for our students and families.  We face the possibility of losing HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in funding if families do not complete an application. Applications for the 2021-2022 school year may be submitted beginning July 1, 2021.  Paper forms will be available at all school locations and the district office in both English and Spanish.  You may submit the APPLICATION ONLINE as well.
