Navigating Forward, Together

Hello Oakland Families,
In this edition of our Oakland Newsletter, we will be asking you for your feedback on how Remote Learning is going for your child(ren). Below, you will find links to Thought Exchanges specific to your child(ren)'s grade level. We ask that you please take a moment to fill out the link for each of your children. Your voice and experience truly matter to us, so we ask that you please help us to learn of your experience. You will also have the opportunity to read the feedback of others and share your thoughts on those opinions. All feedback is due by Tuesday, September 15th at 11:59 pm.
Additionally, we hope that you will be able to join us for our Virtual Curriculum Night on Monday. Teachers are so excited to share with you what a typical day in their classroom looks like and what students will be learning this year. There are two sessions for you to choose from. Each of the sessions are identical, so you need only pick one of the sessions offered by your child's teacher. At the end of the session(s) that you attend, we will ask you to fill out a quick form letting us know that you were able to join us. There is more information regarding that evening listed below.
As the weather turns cooler and we move towards fall, I hope that you are able to take the opportunity to spend time with family this weekend and to recharge.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Most Sincerely,
Rebecca Adams and Lindsay Burns

iPad Configuration Update - PLEASE READ
If these steps are not taken, the iPad will be “bricked” which means that it will not be usable and will have to be brought to the Technology Department to remove it from the old configuration, and possibly wipe it.
Thank you for your support in helping our technology to be updated.
