Oakland Fire Department 911 Registry for special needs population and disabled seniors
Did you know that the City of Oakland has a registry for Oakland citizens that will detect the location and special needs of our most vulnerable in the case of a disaster? This will allow priority emergency response to aid those less able to fend for themselves in a disaster.
There is a simple registration form to fill out and it is vital to detail any special needs you may have. Request a 911 registration form by calling 510.238.2382. Be sure to leave your name and telephone number if your call goes into voicemail!
Volunteer to help stem the tide of truancy!
Your help is greatly needed to stem the tide of truancy in Oakland. Our beleaguered school clerks are often responsible for attendance as well as performing many other duties with constant interruptions. Because of that, calls to parents to follow up on absences are often not made.
If you have a daytime hour or two a week, you could help a school clerk make those calls to parents. Volunteers will be trained and assigned to a convenient school. A child back in school has great results:
1. The opportunity for learning,
2. Less likelihood of getting hurt or into trouble in the streets, and
3. Increased income for the school which is based on average daily attendance
We have at least 10 schools in District 3 and it would be great to have 1 person for each day of the week for each school (50 volunteers). Please share this information with someone you know who would be a trustworthy volunteer with daytime free hours.
It takes a village.....
For more information, and/or to volunteer, please contact Angela Haick, 510/879-1460, angela.haick@ousd.k12.ca.us.
