Thank you, Oakland Family!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our Back-to-School Night Extravaganza! 🎉

We loved celebrating the start of the school year with you—from the official unveiling of our beautiful new mural with artist Ulises Villa, to launching the Oakland Literacy Challenge, to all the fun on the bouncy castle, slide, and of course, Mr. T’s delicious barbecue.

Your energy and support made the night so special. We are grateful for our amazing community and can’t wait for all that’s ahead this school year. ❤️

Uniforms

We want to thank you for your continued partnership and support as we begin this school year together. Our uniforms are an important part of helping every student feel proud and connected to our Oakland community.

At this time, our uniform budget for the 2025–2026 school year has been fully used. While we are able to place another order, we must do so carefully to ensure that we only purchase uniforms that have been specifically ordered and paid for by families. Unfortunately, our school budget does not allow us to cover the cost of additional uniforms beyond what has been requested and funded.

To help us make sure every order is accurate, we are asking families to please complete this Google Form by Friday September 12th, 2025. We will then place the order and will notify you once the delivery date is confirmed.

👉Uniform Order

We truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation. By working together, we can ensure that all students have the uniforms they need without creating financial strain on our school’s budget. Thank you for helping us keep our resources focused on providing the very best education for our students.
