Family Handbook Reminders and More to Keep You Informed
This Week is Teacher Appreciation Week!
All week we will be honoring the incredible hard work of our teachers and staff. Our teachers make our school the incredible learning place it is, and we are forever grateful!
Immunizations
- DPT or DTaP: 5 doses (4 if the fourth is given after the fourth birthday)
- Polio (IPV): 4 doses (3 if the third is given after the fourth birthday)
- MMR: 2 doses
- Varicella (Chicken Pox): 1 dose
Immunizations are required unless the student is exempted for medical (requires note from a doctor) or religious/philosophical reasons (requires yearly written statement from parent/legal guardian). Under-immunized and unimmunized students may be excluded from school in case of an outbreak of a disease for which the student lacks immunizations. Questions concerning these requirements may be directed to the school nurse. If your child receives immunization updates during the school year, please bring a copy of the updates to the school nurse for inclusion in your child's health record.

Silverware Drive at Ocean Avenue Elementary School!
The Ocean Avenue Green Club is trying to save Mother Earth one spork at a time! We are collecting your old metal silverware in our SILVERWARE DRIVE. Please donate any unwanted metal SPOONS and FORKS to the box in the Main Office. By next fall, we hope to replace all plastic utensils in the cafeteria with metal utensils, which will cut down on thousands of pounds of plastic waste. Thank you for helping create a greener future for our children!
