Oakland Elementary School recently hosted a vision screening event in partnership with the Oregon Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation (OLSHF). OLSHF uses a digital photo screener device called SPOT to detect a number of potential eye conditions. It works like a large digital camera. If your student was present on the day of the screening, you will be receiving a results letter from your student's exam. If your student was absent, the OLSHF recommends that all children receive an annual vision exam by an eye care professional. Thank you for all you do!

Please remember WE DO HAVE REGULAR SCHOOL DAY Tomorrow, Friday the 5th.

Winter Spirit Week

Each of our classrooms will continue celebrating kindness by each homeroom filling a kindness jar with snippets of paper describing students’ acts of kindness at home or at school. Homeroom teachers will be sending home snippets of paper (sticky notes) for everyone to help fill our jars!! You could help us out at home by writing down a kind act you see your child doing on the sticky note snippet and sending it into school with them to put inside of their classroom kindness jar. At the end of the day Monday, December 11th, Miss Fox will be pulling one to two snippets from each homeroom jar to read aloud during our Tuesday Talk w/ Miss Fox weekly message. We look forward to seeing our jars full with acts of kindness-
