Dear SOK students and families,

One final thank you from all of us at Seven Oak - for your partnership in this work, for your patience as we figured things out each week, and for your perseverance in seeing this distance learning through until the end of the school year. Teachers, Administrators, and District Leaders will be working throughout the summer as we continue planning for the start of the 2020/2021 school year, and we will also be seeking input from all of you, so please be on the lookout for additional information coming from the district. In the meantime, have a safe and restorative summer and stay healthy!!

REPORT CARDS

For all classes, students will receive either a "P" for pass, or a "G" for no grade; these final grades do not penalize any students. Final report cards will be processed and mailed out next week. 8th graders will also be receiving their promotion certificates with this mailing - congratulations to the class of 2024!!

YEARBOOK UPDATE

The latest information from our yearbook publisher is that yearbooks are scheduled to be shipped out on June 24th. We will send communication out on our plan for distribution later this summer once we have confirmation that they have shipped. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to make adjustments during this pandemic.

The world will say to you: We need to end racism.

Start by healing it where you can.

The world will say to you: How do we speak to bias and bigotry?

Start by having the conversation with your loved ones.

The world will say to you: There is too much hate.

Devote yourself to love. Love yourself so much that you can love others without barriers and without judgment.

-Cleo Wade
