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.
Superintendent Welcome Back Letter 2016-2017
Happy August! We hope that you and your children are having a terrific summer. In Old Adobe Union we have been keeping busy. Our Miwok Valley modernization is on schedule and looks fantastic. This is our third modernization in the last five years (Loma Vista 2013 and La Tercera 2014) and has made a huge difference in our district. We look forward to further work at Old Adobe and Sonoma Mountain in the next couple of years.
Do You Believe in Magic?
Do you believe in Magic? Do you love cartoons? Are you ready to fall head over heels? We’re betting that your children will answer yes to all three.
Our Kids Care Expanded Learning Program is excited to announce new enrichment classes that are part of the regular Kids Care schedule. Magic, primary age gymnastics, and cartooning are just a few of the options - our Kids Care staff are also preparing fabulous classes in art, snap circuits, sports, and more.

Bright Futures Preschool is an academic readiness program designed for three and four year old children. We are funded by the California Department of Education, Child Development Division. Our program follows state standards for Desired Results Developmental Profiles and is designed to flow into the standards set for Kindergarten.
Bright Futures operates (5) days per week, 180 calendar days of the school year. Our goal is to provide preschoolers and their parents the necessary tools needed to succeed in their academic futures. As part of Old Adobe School District, our preschool teachers work closely with OAUSD kindergarten teachers to enhance the preschool curriculum & prepare the children for academic success.
Summer Learning
Summer is almost here! As we finish the school year, let me take a moment of your time to encourage a summer full of learning across Old Adobe Union School District. Did you know that some researchers estimate that ⅓ to ½ of the achievement gap is due to differences in summer learning?

E-Wasting Away
Chris Carter at La Tercera asked a wonderful question last week.
Read more ...What do you see as our plan for replacing our current Chromebook fleet? I've been noticing quite a few with track pads that are wearing out, (click functionality marginal at best on some machines) and there's some general heavy wear on many units. (cracked casings and scratched displays) While the units aren't broken or beyond use, is this something for which we should submit a ticket as they approach their shelf life for IT to evaluate?
Except for a small number of replacements we've received, the CBs we currently have deployed are approaching three years of use. Do we have a target for use time before considering replacement?
