9/20-9/24

Dear Blue Oaks Families, 

The weather seems to finally be cooling off and we are all very excited about it. We are starting our 7th week of school and I have truly enjoy getting into the classrooms and watching our students learn and our terrific teachers teach!  I also love to pass out bear hugs to our students that are demonstrating our bear necessities: Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful. Ask you child if they have earned bear hugs and why? 

As always, Please let me know if you have any questions,

Mrs. Cumbra


Safety Updates:

Masks: Thank you for all of your support with mask-wearing. Students and teachers are expected to wear masks while indoors in the classroom. We have extras and will provide one if a child doesn't have one. At this time, students do not need to wear them while outside. 

Hand washing and Sanitizing: Students are strongly encouraged to wash hands throughout the day and if they are unable to wash, they can use hand sanitizer.

Visitors on Campus: Please check in at the office. At this time, volunteers are welcome. We will be scheduling a fingerprinting event soon.

  • Yearbook Photos 2021-2022 
    It is already time to start sending in pictures to commemorate all of the amazing things your student is doing this school year. Please take a moment to upload pictures from the first day of school and the Dance-a-thon. It would be so helpful if you could name the picture files for me, for example “Johnny Dancing” or “4th Grade 1st Day” or “Tommy 3rd Grade” all of these little pieces of information help us when it comes time for us to layout the yearbook. When you follow the link to upload pictures, you will be asked for your email address. It is just part of the Google dropbox process. Thank you all so much! I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful pictures.

  1. For the yearbook pictures submission, it does not allow adding any caption for the picture. It’s only and “upload” tab. Is any one else having the same issue?
