We will make sure our car rider line moves as quickly as possible to prevent parents from dropping their students off in the school parking lot. It is a safety hazard for children to walk without a parent around moving cars. Thank you for cooperating with our staff to keep all of our students and adults safe!
Identity Day at Oyster Creek Elementary!
October 14th will be our 2nd Annual School-Wide Identity Fair! An identity fair is similar to a science fair with the exception that it is geared specifically to the interest of the individual. The purpose of this fair is two-fold. The fair will empower students to show other students something (one thing) they find really special about themselves. It will also give our entire school community the opportunity to learn about each other, and the chance of conflict goes down the more we know about other people.
When creating their displays, students should explore the following questions: What is one thing about me that I would like to share? What are some ways that I can share this with others? In what creative ways can I display this information? Although there will not be any specific criteria set in place in regards to what you share or how the information is presented, there is an expectation that all students and staff participate in this event.
The Identity Fair will allow the staff and students of Oyster Creek Elementary the opportunity to actively and positively engage in learning about some very special people – each other!
Each grade level will set up a time during the day when classrooms can view each other’s boards. We believe that celebrating each other’s interests will ensure continued academic success in a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. This will truly be a remarkable and memorable event, and we look forward to seeing the interest and creativity your child will share with others. Below are some examples to give you an idea of what this day will be about.
