2.11.25 Good Afternoon Oakland CUSD5 Parents and Guardians, We are all hoping for a normal Wednesday tomorrow, 2.12.25. However, the forecast does show a chance of inclement weather. Again, student safety is our utmost priority. We would like families to be prepared in the event we need to utilize an early dismissal due to weather. In the case we need to exercise an early dismissal, our goal is to notify families as soon as possible, feed students, and dismiss at 12:00. At this time we are hoping for a normal Wednesday school schedule, but we are asking families to be prepared due to the forecasted inclement weather conditions. Thank you, Nate Pugh, Superintendent

We hope to see you at Community Coffee in the morning!

Eighth graders were busy last semester in Art Careers. They channeled their inner cartoonist and created these fun Idiom Cartoons! They took an idiom (e.g. it's raining cats and dogs) and drew them literally. How many can you name? ~artist's name under each picture.

We want to take a moment to introduce our newest team member, Nurse Sam. We are very excited to have her as a part of our community.
