Oak Farm turns 15!
Last night the Oak Farm campus was full of energy! Families from the past & present were here sharing stories and catching up with one another. Fifteen years ago, the school opened its doors (in what is now the Green Farmhouse) with fewer than 15 students. Today, we have six classroom buildings and a total of 244 students! The school has grown and continues to provide a choice for the families in the area. We are so happy your family has made the choice to be at Oak Farm - it is YOU that makes this place so wonderful!
Head of School Maternity Leave
Dear Oak Farm families,
On January 26th I will begin a six-week maternity leave as our family welcomes our newest addition. I will be returning on March 9th. While I am away, plans are in place behind the scenes for all to run as smoothly as ever, and I will be in close touch with the administrative team throughout the six weeks to be connected to all that is happening at school and available when needed. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact your child's teacher or the front office for a quick response. I look forward to being back on campus and seeing you all in a few short weeks!
