Dear Sherman Oaks Community Members:
It is my distinct honor to introduce myself as the principal of Sherman Oaks Charter School. I am proudto be part of a school community that offers the gift of bilingualism and bi‐literacy to our next generation of children. You are to be commended for your choice of school for your children, which will provide opportunities for them beyond traditional mono‐lingual education. My goal is to work with our staff to prepare your children for the great world of education and opportunity which awaits them beyond their high school graduation. It is never too soon to begin planning for college and careers!
I feel at home in a dual immersion school, having been the principal of a K‐6 dual immersion school in Fremont for the past eight years. My career as a bilingual school administrator began in the wonderful community of Soledad 18 years ago. Prior to that, I served the City of San Jose as a police officer for 12 years. The five years I spent teaching at two schools in East Oakland was also a most rewarding experience from which I carry many fond memories.
I am looking forward to getting to know each and every Sherman Oaks family and learning about your goals and dreams for your children. Our school staff will need each one of you to take an active role in your children’s education in order to create the opportunities they deserve for their future success. I hold high expectations for everyone involved in the life‐changing process of education – for teachers, parents, students and for myself. When the hard work of education becomes our priority, the students soar to great heights, and we all feel rewarded.
Please make it your priority to attend Back‐to‐School Night on Tuesday, September 21 at 6:00 p.m. This will be the time to learn about the standards, curriculum and expectations for your child this school year. It is a very important event for all parents to attend. The staff and I strive for 100% attendance from our families at Back‐to‐School Night. I look forward to seeing you all on September 2.
Please feel free to stop and introduce yourself to me as we begin our new school year. New starts are refreshing and exciting, and I am most excited to meet you and your children. Welcome to the 2010‐ 2011 school year where great things await us!
Yours in education,
Donna M. Tonry |

Sherman Oaks dual language immersion, English/Spanish K-6th
Our school serves approximately 480 students. All students learn all subjects in English and Spanish. Each class is made up of one third of the students with English as their primary language; one third of the students with Spanish as their primary language and one third of the students who are bilingual. The students' language abilities are determined on the pre-assessment.
Currently, we have four classes in each primary grade K-3 and two classes in each upper grade 4-6. We offer full-day kindergarten. After school programs serve first grade through sixth grade students. All of our students are either from the neighborhood or are driven to school.
Come and learn more about our school either online or come visit us.
Mission
At Sherman Oaks, teachers take pride in using effective teaching methods to meet high expectations established in the classroom and school. The team of teachers, administration, staff, parents and students create a safe and cooperative environment that cultivates being respectful, making good choices, and solving problems. Through collaboration, the team meets a common goal -- success! Differentiated instruction along with researched- based practices takes us on an adventure to create risk-takers and life-long learners.
Vision
Creating successful bilingual and biliterate leaders is a shared goal among the team at Sherman Oaks. Our collaborative work environment will reward us with respectful critical thinkers who are empowered and knowledgeable leaders who take pride in their accomplishments. |
