Two Terrific Days!
Oak Crest students and families, thank you for a terrific start to the school year! I am so proud of our Oak Crest Tigers! We are building relationships, learning expectations, practicing routines, and preparing for greatness. I have been getting excellent reports from students, staff and parents about the experiences to start the year! If you want proof, watch the short video clip below of day 1.
I really appreciate the efforts made to attend back to school conferences to set the stage for learning. I also communicate a lot of info in our newsletters to help everybody be prepared and understand our systems at Oak Crest. Thank you for taking time to read these messages. Communication is a key element in our partnership.
Have a great weekend!
Be You, Be RED!
Ben Tressel
Oak Crest Principal

TIGER TARGET: I can invite others to join.
As we focus on inclusion this month, the act of inviting others to join is very important. When you are separate from a group or activity, it takes a lot of courage to ask to join. Offering an invitation to others makes them feel wanted and welcome. This week, find ways to invite others to play, be your partner in school work, or even to sit at your lunch table.
School Safety
You must bring your ID with you to enter our building as a visitor, volunteer, or to check your child out/in for the day.
Thank you for complying with this request to benefit the safety of ALL of our children.
Beginning and End of Day Procedures.
8:15am - class begins
Our front door unlocks at 7:50am for breakfast and to welcome walkers and parent drop-off. If your child arrives early, they will need to wait patiently outside until 7:50.
3:05 first dismissal
Parents picking up at the end of day must stay in their cars and wait in line to pick up kids. We use the signs given by the office to identify families. If you need a car sign, please visit the office. We are trying to limit pedestrian movement in our parking lot during pick-up.
