5 Essentials Survey - Responses Needed
We still need your help!!
If you have children at other schools, we ask that you fill a survey out for those schools, also. The link is the same to access the survey, but you need to select a different school each time to fill them out for each of the buildings your child attends.
We so appreciate your time in sharing this important information with us!! You can find the link here:

Field Day
There are a few important pieces of information to be mindful of prior to signing up to volunteer:
* Signing up enters you into a lottery for being able to volunteer - we have limited spots, so you are not guaranteed to be helping by signing up. Volunteers will be notified in April.
* Volunteers will NOT be walking around with their child's class.
* Volunteers will be a running a field day station for the duration of the event. You will see your child when they visit the station that you are running.
* These stations are hands on and require you to actively direct the physical activity. You will meet with the P.E. teachers that day prior to your session to pick an activity and go over the directions. They are there to assist with anything you may need. We plan on having 2 - 3 volunteers at each station.
* There are TWO Field Day sessions:
3rd, 4th, and 5th Grades: 8:40 - 10:45 am
K, 1st, and 2nd Grades: 12:40 - 2:45 pm
* You will select the session(s) that you would like to help run stations for. If you choose both, there is no guarantee you will get both. If you volunteer for both, you will NOT be able to stay at Oakland in between the morning and afternoon field day sessions.
If all of this sounds good to you, please sign-up for the volunteer lottery HERE. Thank you for being willing to donate your time!

5Essentials Survey Family Participation
The annual 5Essentials survey is open for families. Click on the links to learn more: 5Essentials Family Letter: English Version 5Essentails family letter: Spanish Version.
Cleaning iPads
The Technology Department is aware that student iPads tend to get a little more dirty around this time of year. If families are interested in cleaning the studentsβ devices, please follow the steps below.
Please spray an electronic safe cleaner (like Windex or a lens cleaner) on a soft cloth and wipe down the iPad until it is clean. You can then use a dry microfiber cloth to remove any remaining moisture or streaks. Please donβt use a harsh cloth like a paper towel as this might scratch the screen. Please donβt spray the cleaner directly on the screen. Make sure to spray it on the cloth instead.
Please be careful around the home button as this is the only open spot that moisture can get directly to the screen.
Please do not remove the cases. The cases are specific to the warranty the District has with Apple.
Students should also please refrain from putting stickers on the iPad case, cord and brick.
Student iPad Pictures
The Technology Department is asking families to help reduce and monitor the studentsβ photos that are on the iPads. There has been an increase in the number of studentsβ photos, especially ones that are not school related. Please help by checking studentsβ iPads for these photos and deleting them and then deleting them from the deleted folder. Help us teach the students good digital citizenship skills by using the school iPad for school related pictures only.
