On June 4th and June 5th, Oasis Elementary will have a drive through process for collecting our school issued materials, (Chromebooks, library books, etc.) and distributing students' personal items, (pencil boxes, ear buds, and yearbooks and class photos for those who purchased them) We will be organizing Drive Up times by grade level and teacher.
