Welcome to Ms. Lori (Guttozv)

Hello Oakley Park families!


My name is Sundie Lori (Guttovz). I’m excited to join Oakley Park’s wonderful owl family!

This school year will be my 18th year as an educator. My educational background includes earning a Bachelor of Science degree at Eastern Michigan University, a Masters in the Art of Teaching degree from Marygrove College, and a masters equivalent from Performance Learning Systems.

I have two lovely children, Charlie (17) who is finishing up her high school career this October, and Sydnie (14) who will begin her high school career this year at Milford High School. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my kids exploring our lovely state parks, kayaking, paddle boarding, and hiking.

I’m incredibly excited to begin our 21/22 school year and look forward to making positive memories with all of my students.


See you soon,

Ms. Sundie Lori

Kindergarten Staggered Start: August 25, 26, & 27

Kindergarten Staggered Start: August 25, 26, & 27

During the first week of school, all kindergarten students will begin a required comprehensive assessment to determine social and academic skills. These investigations into each individual child’s attributes are best completed in smaller settings. We also know that these smaller settings will support the social-emotional wellness of our youngest learners as they adjust to these first days of school. In order for optimal execution of these state required assessments, we will be staggering our start by alphabet in our Kindergarten classrooms August 25, 26, and 27.

Preparing for the first day of school

Preparing for the first day of school

As we approach the first day of school, there will be jitters no doubt! It is important to acknowledge these feelings, while reassuring your child they are going to have a great first day of school! If you choose to drive/drop off your child on the first day of school, final "good-byes" should be made at the entrance of the building. Staff will be at the front of the building to welcome students, assisting as needed and teacher will be anxiously awaiting their arrival at the classroom. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work together to build independence in our children.

Last Spring a small but mighty crew joined forces to restore the Oakley Park Community Garden! MANY thanks to Luis Maldonado who rebuilt the boxes along with Caroline Sadler, Valerie Novaes, and Valerie Gui (and their Owls) for their time and "green thumbs" on this special project. . We are looking forward to the future of our garden!
