January Bee's Business
January 1, 2024
Welcome 2024!
Welcome back Oak Crest and Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday break with family and friends. We are looking forward to a wonderful 2024 and what is ahead for all our students and families!
As we go through the winter months, please make sure to send your child dressed in a warm coat, hats, and mittens. If you are in need of a coat, please let the school know. We will go outside if the weather allows us to do so. Students are excited to play on the new playground!
Please keep your child home if they are experiencing flu-like symptoms. Students need to be 24 hour symptom free of a fever, vomiting, and diarrhea in order to return to school.
We look forward to the winter months and all the learning that will take place. Teachers will continue to differentiate instruction for students while providing many learning opportunities in the classroom. If your child receives EL services, ACCESS testing will begin in mid-January. You will receive additional information at that time.
If you would like to volunteer here at Oak Crest and share your talents, we would love to have you in the building. The family school connection is so important to the success of students.
Please reach out to me at (847) 599-5525 if you have any questions as I am always happy to speak with you.
In partnership,
