Welcome Back to School
Dear Families:
I hope you have had a wonderful summer break filled with fun, sun, laughter and joy! Oak Crest teachers are excited for the 2023-2024 school year with new learning opportunities and a year of great growth! A group of dedicated staff members made continued improvements over the summer to the district's curriculum frameworks, which was established in the 2020-2021 school year.
Open House is scheduled for August 15, 2023 from 4:00-5:30pm. At this time, families and parents will have the opportunity to meet your child’s classroom teacher(s) and drop off school supplies. Teachers look forward to meeting all their students in preparation for the first day of school.
The District Office and custodial staff have worked hard throughout the summer making sure that Oak Crest is clean and ready for student learning.
Please make sure that you have registered your child(ren) as soon as possible. School supply lists are posted on the Beach Park District #3 website.
The first day of school is August 16, 2023. This will be a full day of instruction for first grade through fifth grade.
Kindergarten orientation is on August 16th from 10:00am-12:00pm in the gym. Parents are invited to stay with their children from 10:00 - 11:00. At 11:00, parents will say goodbye to their children. Your child will engage in fun getting to know you activities from 11:00 until 12:00 p.m. At 12:00 p.m., parents will return to school to pick up their child. Parents are to stay in their car and follow pick-up procedures.
