Mission Statement

The mission of Orinda Network for Education (ONE) is to preserve and enhance Orinda’s signature educational programs and provide for exceptional teachers and staff to promote continued academic excellence for every student in Orinda schools. ONE strengthens, streamlines, and amplifies the collective fundraising efforts of Parents’ Clubs and the Orinda community. 

 

To bridge the gap between state funding and the actual cost to educate each student in Orinda, on an annual basis, ONE will: 

 

  • Support and enhance the educational TK - 12 experience of each student in Orinda’s six public schools: Del Rey Elementary, Glorietta Elementary, Sleepy Hollow Elementary, Wagner Ranch Elementary, Orinda Intermediate School (OIS), and Miramonte High School 

  • Raise the funds required to advance academic excellence in Orinda public schools beyond what is possible with public dollars alone 

  • Provide a forum for all Orinda Parents’ Clubs to collaborate and share best practices, ensuring the effective, efficient, and equitable use of resources to enhance a high quality educational experience for Orinda students, teachers, and staff

  • Connect Orinda school Parents’ Clubs, local businesses, and community members in partnership through fundraising efforts to support education for all Orinda students

  • Offer access to better investment opportunities with oversight and management by building an endowment, sustaining Orinda schools and the student experience into the future
