Just a reminder that we have an early dismissal tomorrow, Friday, February 14th, and we are IN SESSION on Monday, February 17th!

Oakland Families,
Due to the potential ice, we will be dismissing at 11:30 today, Wednesday 2.12.25. This is out of an abundance of caution for student and staff safety. All students will be served lunch prior to dismissal. All after school activities and events are canceled/postponed.
Thank you,
Nate Pugh, Superintendent
In art, Kindergarten practiced creating texture using sponges, plastic eggs and Q-tips dipped in paint to give their snakes scales. Then they learned weaving by hiding those sneaky snakes in grass. Beautiful work kindergarten!
