Charity Volleyball Game is FRIDAY, April 12th!
Come cheer on our defending champion OPE Owl Staff team as they take on the staff from Wixom Elementary in our annual Charity Volleyball Game! This year all of the proceeds will go to Scarlet's Smile. This amazing local charity is working to provide a barrier free playground in Commerce Twp where all kids can play together regardless of their ability. We enjoyed hearing from Stephen and Larenne Clark at our last PTA meeting on the huge undertaking and impressive progress they have made. You can find out more at ScarletsSmile.com
The game takes place FRIDAY, April 12 at Sarah Banks Middle School in Wixom. Admission is $3 per person and additional donations will be collected through the sales of concessions (pizza, pop, candy, and chips) and OPE spirit items!
Doors open at 6:00 and the game kicks off at 6:30.
ALSO - Kids will be able to contribute even more to our donation with Change for Change! All next week (4/8 - 4/12), OPE classrooms will have collection bins for spare change. At the end of the week, the money collected will go to Scarlet's Smile and the class that collects the most will win a frozen treat! So empty your pockets, check your couch cushions, look under the seat of your car, and send in your change starting Monday!
If you have any questions, contact us at OakleyParkPTA@gmail.com. Get your loudest cheering voice ready and we will see you there!

Please note:
· We will start the school year prior to Labor Day again.
· Late starts (middle school) and early release (high schools) have been eliminated.
· There are several half-days throughout the school year.
As we have in the past, we will offer a reduced rate Prime Time Care service on each of these half days.
You might be wondering...Why are there so many half days?
Throughout the school year, there are eight half days that will be used for staff professional development. We recognize that half days can be inconvenient for families. That said, research has shown that when teachers receive ongoing, job-embedded professional development, they can increase student achievement by as much as 21 percentile points (Source). As a school and district, we are committed to continuous improvement and these eight half days are an essential part of that commitment. Although they may seem inconvenient, staff development opportunities are crucial to ensure we provide an exemplary education for our children.
