9/27-10/1

Dear Blue Oaks Families, 

It's officially Fall and as a reminder, there is no school this Thursday 9/30 or Friday 10/1 so go and enjoy your extra long weekend.  Thank you parents and guardians that attended our PTC meeting. Having a strong partnership and parent input is so important.  As a reminder progress reports were send home, please take a look at those if you haven't already done so.  If you have any questions, please reach out to your child's teacher.  We had another fun Bear Hugs Store on Friday. It is so fun to see students' faces light up when their names are called! We also had a character concert and we focused on Respect.  Below you will find the students that were chosen by their teacher for showing respect. Way to Go!!! Next Month we will be focusing on RESPONSIBILITY! One final reminder, when picking up or dropping off your student, if you need to help your student in and out of the car, please park in a parking spot and walk to get your student. We need to make sure our pick up and drop off system is fluid so our families can come in and out in a timely and safe manner. Getting out of your car in the yellow zone to help your student can cause a back-up resulting in parents driving around the park car and that can cause even more congestion. I appreciate your help in keeping our students, families and vehicles safe. 

As always, please contact me if you have any questions, 

Mrs. Cumbra

• 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.  Yearbook Photo Upload
