News from Oakhurst
From the Principal
Hello Owl Families,
I hope you had a great week. Things picked up a little at Oakhurst this week. Teachers began packing or preparing their rooms for summer. You might have seen a few teachers in passing. Over the next few weeks we will be working on packing up student items in preparation for a parent pickup. This might include personal belongings, the yearbook, art portfolios, and class group pictures if you ordered one. Stay tuned for details about this. The date will be after May 29th.
Thank you so much for participating in the Teacher Appreciation Padlet project. Several teachers told me it was the best Teacher Appreciation gift they have ever received. I would not have been able to do it without your support. Special thanks to Erica Udell for helping to get the room parents to help promote it.
I hope your family has been enjoying this beautiful weather. Stay well and safe until next time.

Nurse Notes
Thank you so much for all of the sweet notes, pictures and videos for National Nurses Day. It was great to see all of those smiling faces—I sure do miss them. Hope everyone is staying safe and well. I wanted to share some helpful information from a fellow CSD nurse, Tammara Sinkfield, RN, who works at Renfroe Middle School.
Keeping The Home Safe
Encourage your family members to:
- Clean hands at the door and at regular intervals
- Create habits and reminders to avoid touching their face and cover coughs and sneezes
- Disinfect surfaces like doorknobs, tables, and handrails regularly
- Increase ventilation by opening windows or adjusting air conditioning
For households with vulnerable seniors or those with significant underlying conditions
(significant underlying conditions include heart, lung, kidney disease, diabetes and conditions that suppress the immune system)
- Have the healthy people in the household conduct themselves as if they were a significant risk to the person with underlying conditions. For example, wash hands frequently before interacting with the person, such as feeding or caring for the person
- If possible, provide a protected space for the vulnerable household members
- Ensure all utensils and surfaces are cleaned regularly
For households with sick family members:
- Give sick members their own room if possible, and keep the door closed
- Have only one family member care for them
Yearbook News
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported the yearbook with payments, photos, and dedications. We are working hard to finish up the book, and we look forward to being able to deliver it to you soon.
If you have not already and would like to contribute to the cost of the yearbooks, you may do so at:
https://oakhurstelementarypta.org/. Go to “Store” then click the “Yearbook” link.
Please know that we will provide books for every student regardless of your ability to pay.
We may be able to take a few more second grade dedications this week, but before you make a payment for a dedication, please email oakhurstyearbook@gmail.com to see if space is still available.
Library Book Return
If your child has any Oakhurst library books at home, you may drop them off at Oakhurst Monday, Wednesday or Friday between 9:30-1:30 through May 22. There will be a cart outside the Kindergarten wing doors (where rainy day pickup happens).
