Due to ongoing issues during arrival and recess, we have made the decision that students will no longer be allowed to bring sporting cleats, soccer balls, basketballs, footballs, or similar equipment to school. This new policy change will go into effect on Monday October 20th. Click here to read more.

PTO will be meeting twice a day (AM & PM), bi-weekly on Thursdays. Next PTO meetings are on October 23rd. View the full October PTO Calendar here: https://oakland.dpsk12.org/page/parent-teacher-organization for more information.

We are continuing to celebrate students for growing as readers with October's Fall into Reading tracker. Encourage your student to read independently and as a family this month. For every 30 minutes of reading students do at home, they can color in one pumpkin in their pumpkin patch. Students can bring their trackers to Fall Fest on October 30th for tickets to the prize room! Students may still complete weekly activities on their bingo cards and share their progress with their teachers to be recognized at our October Village Meeting. 

Thank you for your continued support in helping our students grow as readers!

Quick Decision Tips for Parents - Ask Yourself: 

1. Does my child have a fever? → If yes, stay home 

2. Are they acting like their normal self? → If no, consider staying home 

3. Can they participate in regular activities? → If no, stay home 

4. Could they spread something to other kids? → If yes, stay home 

Remember: When in doubt, contact nurse Lupe. She is there to help you make the best decision for everyone's health.
