Welcome to Old Adobe Union School District!
The Old Adobe Union School District is located in southern Sonoma County and serves the children, parents, and community on the east side of Petaluma, California.
With “Excellence for Learning” as our mission, our vision is one of establishing high expectations in an environment of caring and nurturing where each child achieves his or her personal best. Staff members in this system are proactive, efficacious and resourceful about improving student learning and raising expectations; at the same time they are accountable to their students, parents, and principals.
The District's dedicated faculty and staff provide an excellent learning environment for close to 1,900 transitional kindergarten through sixth grade students that attend its five elementary schools and up to 24 preschool students in our kindergarten readiness program. Additionally, the district provides a unique opportunity for intercultural learning through its Spanish/English Dual Immersion program, as well as fostering a passion for learning with its varied standards based programs that include arts infused teaching and a focus on critical and creative thinking.

Tentatively students will return to school on Tuesday, October 17th. This is subject to change depending on fire alerts and conditions that may develop over the weekend.
Old Adobe Union School District welcomes students of displaced families who need a school to attend for as long as is needed. Bussing to and from nearby shelters will be possible if needed, and students will receive free meals during school hours while they are attending one of our schools. To register please come to Old Adobe Union School District Office, 845 Crinella Drive, or phone 707-765-4321.
Our hearts go out to our colleagues, families and friends affected by the devastating fires in our area. We are still assessing the needs of those directly impacted and will be working with all our district administrative staff to support those of you who may need our help. This is a shocking event and it is important that we all pull together to comfort, support and be present for each other. I am in the District Office and will keep you updated throughout Friday and the weekend on school closure status for Monday, October 16th. Take care of each other.

Time For Appreciation In Old Adobe Union
They say that April showers bring May flowers, and appreciation is blooming in Old Adobe Union. This week was staff appreciation week, which includes parent led activities, treats for the staff from the Board, a staff appreciation luncheon at each site on Friday, and other site based efforts. Next week on Friday we take some time to appreciate our amazing parent and community volunteers who do so much to make Old Adobe Union special. Over the last several years the number of parent volunteers has grown- as has the size and activity of our PTA/PTO at each site. Also in May is when we hold an Open House at each school. This celebratory event honors and appreciates the amazing work of our students. Each room practically bursts with amazing art, writing, projects, and other student led efforts.
