Our collaborative and active community is the foundation of the school.  Adults and students come together cooperatively to create a community focused on achievement in academics and social-emotional growth.

The staff at O.W. Erlewine creates multiple learning experiences to teach students the skills necessary to be successful with the California Common Core Language Arts and Math Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards, and California’s History-Social Science Standards while providing opportunities to create and maintain strong, positive character traits and the importance of respectful collaboration. 

Family involvement is a critically important component of O.W. Erlewine’s community.   The staff at O.W. Erlewine welcomes volunteers in and out of the classroom.  In addition, its active PTA realizes the fact that the growth of each student is not only dependent on academics, but also real-world experiences provided through Family Nights, dances, assemblies, and field trips.
