Principal's Note With fall parties and conferences coming up, the parking at Oakwood might be a challenge with the construction. Please park in any open spot, but not the handicap spots, unless you have a handicap tag. The gates to the bus corral will be locked, so you will not be able to park in there. You may park on the grass, like you would for other large events. Party volunteers may want to park at St Philip the Deacon Church and carpool over to Oakwood. For security reasons, the main entrance will be the only open entrance during parties.
Sincerely, Sarabeth deNeui, Principal
Did You Know? Lost and Found Please have your child check the Lost and Found for missing items. We have many things in it and no names on them. We do check every item for a name and return it to the owner. We will donate all Lost and Found after conferences. Items will be available for you to look through during conference days.
