Oroville City Elementary School District

Oroville City Elementary School District is proud to provide high-quality education in TK/Kindergarten through 8th grade, with dedicated teachers and staff helping students learn, grow, and prepare for the future. But while our students are thriving academically, our aging school facilities need attention. Many of our schools are 40–50 years old, with our oldest campus at 75 years. Essential repairs, safety upgrades, and modernization are needed. Our students deserve learning environments that match the quality of education they receive!

🏀 A Night to Remember at Golden 1 Center! 💜

Our Ishi Hills Middle School 8th grade boys & girls basketball teams had an absolute blast last Monday cheering on the Sacramento Kings live in Sacramento!

The absolute highlight of the night? Our players got to step onto the court and high-five the Kings as they came running out of the tunnel! 🙌 High-fiving the pros on their home floor made it an unforgettable experience that our student-athletes will be talking about for a long time. ⚡️

A huge SPECIAL THANKS to Coaches Clint Hopper and Dave Huston for organizing this incredible trip and treating our kids to such an epic night! 👏💙

Now, fully inspired by the pros, our teams are fired up and ready to hit the court as they kick off their own season. Let’s go, Cougars! 🐾⚡️

Our 5th-grade adventure at Shady Creek is off to an incredible start! 🍃 The energy in the lodge was electric this afternoon as the kids jumped into a jam session with the talented naturalists. It's so inspiring to see their hands high in the air and their faces full of excitement as they connect with nature and each other.

This trip is about more than just fun (though we're having lots of that!). It's about outdoor science, team building, and creating core memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you Principal North for sharing!

Dear OCESD Families,

We are aware of the rumors circulating in our community regarding the incident that occurred earlier this week at Oroville High School.

We want to reassure you that law enforcement has not notified our district of any danger or threat to any of our school sites. Superintendent Holtom is in regular communication with the Oroville Union High School District Superintendent, and we will be immediately notified if there is any change in status or safety concerns.

The safety and security of our students and staff are always our top priorities. If there is ever a reason to lock down or close any of our campuses, you will be notified right away through our official communication channels (Parent Square).

Thank you for your ongoing cooperation, trust, and understanding.

Sincerely,

Oroville City Elementary School District

A huge thank you to the Butte County Pharoahs Car Club for their incredibly generous donation of school supplies and backpacks to the Oroville City Elementary School District! 🚗💨🎒

Superintendent Holtom had a wonderful time attending their car show this past Saturday, checking out the awesome rides, and accepting a Certificate of Appreciation on behalf of our district. (And no, that slick red Corvette isn't Dr. Holtom's new daily commute to work... haha! 😉)

Community partnerships like this make all the difference. We will make sure these supplies get directly into the hands of our students in need to help them have a successful school year! 🏫✨
