Meet Officer Gampher

Meet Officer Gampher

Officer Gampher is a NCISD police officer, assigned to work with Oakley Elementary. He has been serving our community for over 20 years. He is usually present during arrival and dismissal. Officer Gampher is also visible during the school day in lunches and hallways. He also regularly keeps an eye on the front office and checks exterior doors frequently to ensure the campus is secure.


We are so thankful to have him join the Oakley campus! Next time you see him, please let him know how much you appreciate him keeping our students and staff safe.

OES House System

The Why of Houses

Develop a system where EVERY student has a place to belong, be supported, and be successful. 7 Houses, 1 Community!


We are all a part of the Rocket House. The Rocket House will be divided into 7 smaller houses, with students and staff members randomly assigned to each house. Each house will be represented by one of the 7 Mindsets listed below:

House Points

Students can earn points for their House by:


  • Following BLAST behavior expectations - Be responsible, Lead by example, Act responsibly, Safety first, Teamwork matters
  • Acts of Kindness
  • Collaboration
  • Mindset Champion
  • Attendance
  • Quality Work


Every week we will reveal a House winner at our Friday House Party. Random rewards will be given throughout the year for the winning Houses. (Extra recess, popsicles, dance party, etc.)


We can use your help by talking with your child about expectations at home!!!
