Oakland Elementary School
Rockin' Through the School Year!
10.22.21
Hello Oakland Families,
We hope that this finds you all healthy and well! Please make sure that you are sending your child with clothing that will account for the cooler temperatures. It is also recommended that you label your child's outdoor wear with their names on the tag. Our Lost and Found is already filling up with jackets and sweatshirts. If the articles are labeled, they can find their way back to their owners more easily. Enjoy the fall weekend ahead!
Sincerely,
Rebecca Adams - Principal
Lindsay Burns - Assistant Principal
Student / Family Conferences
Scholastic Book Fair
Red Ribbon Week - Spirit Week
Veteran's Day
We appreciate your assistance in helping us to honor all of our Oakland Extended Family that have served.
Thank You!
Band / Orchestra Fundraiser
On Monday, October 25th, we will have our first Band and Orchestra Fundraiser at Antioch Pizza!
If you show the attached flyer next Monday (10/25), Antioch Pizza will donate 15% of the proceeds to our District 34 Band and Orchestra Boosters. Both the Lindenhurst and Antioch locations will be hosting this fundraiser for us.
Please feel free to share with families, friends, or anyone who enjoys pizza! Thank you in advance for your support!
AAC Awareness Month
October is International AAC Awareness Month! The goal of this month is to raise awareness of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and to inform the public about the many different ways in which people communicate. AAC can come in many forms: devices, switches, communication books, or picture boards! AAC serves the purpose of helping users to request, protest, share, socialize, express, and so much more.
This three-minute video offers a nice overview of AAC: https://youtu.be/zmsdLzQW5G0.
