Oakley Park Hours: 8:55 am - 4:00 pm Monday-Friday

Thank you for attending Curriculum Night!

It was wonderful to see so many families participate in the various Curriculum Nights! We truly appreciate that so many of our famlies took the time to attend this VERY important night.


As we settle into the year, open and on going communication between home and school is so VERY important! Thank you for prioritizing emails/newsletters from your childs' teacher as well as my weekly Update newsletters. (A complete list of staff emails can be found on our Oakley Park webpage under the "Our Staff" tab.)


I hope the long weekend is off to a great start and we look forward to seeing our Owls back at school Wednesday, September 8th!


Take car,

Kristin Froning

Therapy Dog Update

Therapy Dog Update

As I shared in last weeks newsletter our first step towards welcoming a therapy dog is to fundraise $9000.00 to purchase and train the dog.


We are welcoming donations from families and we would love to partner with local businesses too. Beyond the purchasing of the dog, we will look to partner to provide veterinary care, grooming and food! Businesses/families who donate $1000 will have their name/logo on our dogs working vest! A donation of $4500 earn the donor the opportunity to name our dog! All donations will be tax deductible and we will provide a letter for your tax filing purposed. We will be planning some fun ways the kids can help fundraise too!


Donations can be made by check: payable to WLCSD. Soon, famlies can can log into Family Access and make a donation through eFunds. Stay tuned!


Thank you for your support!

Medication at School

We realize there are times when our students will need medication administered at school. In order for school personnel to administer medication to a student, the school district’s “Authorization to Administer Medication” form must be completed and on file in the school office. (This form must be completed yearly) You will find the form linked below. All medication (both prescription and over-the-counter) must be in the original containers. Forms and medication can be dropped off at our main office.
