Picture Retake Day is tomorrow! If you're satisfied with your child's picture, no further action is required. If you purchased and were unhappy with your Picture Package, please send your Picture Package to school with your student on Retake Day. Your Retake Picture Package will be produced and shipped to the school four weeks after Retake Day. Please note, if your child is photographed on the original and Retake Picture Days, the Retake picture will replace the original picture in certain products, like the yearbook. Students who were absent for Picture Day or are new to Oakland School will have their pictures taken Tuesday. These students should come to school prepared to have their picture taken. Call the school office with any questions!

Family Fun Night is tomorrow night! Just a reminder, the book fair will be open and we will be collecting items for the local Humane Society. Hope to see you at this free, family event!

Here is a great way to show our Oakland teachers some gratitude for all they do for our students! Please take a moment and look through their Amazon wishlists, any items bought are very much appreciated! Thank You! 🧡 #oaklandowlsd87 #teachergiftideas #attitudeofgratitude #WeAreD87 https://secure.smore.com/n/60anf-oakland-teacher-wishlists
