Dear Oakland Families,
Thank you for a wonderful school year!!! We are so proud of all of the hard work put in by our students and staff this year. We hope that you all have a wonderful summer full of family time, being outside, and doing some reading, too! Thank you for the support that you provide your students and for the partnership that you have created with Oakland.
On a personal note, I want to say that it has been my honor to be principal here at Oakland for the last three years. I will truly miss all of the students, families, and staff here at Oakland as I move a bit closer to home for next year. I have enjoyed getting to know you and wish you all the best for the future.
Most Sincerely,
Rebecca Adams - Principal
