Principal’s Message
This was a very warm week at Red Oak. It is important to send your child to school dressed appropriately for the weather as classrooms and buses are not air conditioned. Please, no long sleeved shirts, pants or sweatshirts on hot days.
Rest assured that we are working hard to keep our students safe by monitoring the temperature in classrooms, rotating students through cooling zones in the building, ensuring students do not overexert themselves at recess and PE and making sure students stay hydrated. Temporary air cooling was also installed this week. Looking forward to cooler temperatures next week!

Reminder: COVID-19 SHIELD Testing
We are excited to offer an even more robust COVID-19 testing opportunity through a partnership with SHIELD (U of I) this year. We highly encourage all families to opt into this opportunity as the goal is to further reduce, prevent the spread, and increase school community safety.
For information on the screening please refer to the below documents.
FUNd Run 2021
The FUNd Run is back! We are excited to offer two FUNd ways to participate in 2021:
Runners and walkers can register for the IN-PERSON 5K Run or 1-Mile Family Walk on Saturday, October 2.
Runners and walkers can register to participate in a virtual 5K or 1-Mile Family Walk. This option allows participants to complete the event on their own schedule and on a course of their choice.
As always, funds raised both from the in-person event and the virtual event raise much-needed funds to support students in our community as part of a need-based scholarship fund providing critical support for items such as school supplies and musical instrument rentals.
Online registration is open now! Online registration will close September 28 for in-person participants and on October 2 for virtual participants. For more details and to register visit 112foundation.org.
All participants must pick up their race t-shirt at packet pick up. Participants running the in-person 5K also need to pick up their race bib/chip. Location: TBD
Thursday, September 30 from 12-6
Friday, October 1 from 12-6
Whether you select the in-person event or the virtual option, be sure to post pictures of your family and tag us on social media (@112foundation) or email pictures to us. “I ran the FUNd Run” signs are posted at all D112 schools for the perfect post-race photo op! Use hashtag #FUNdRun2021 when posting.
