Today is Lunch Hero Day!

Administrative Professionals Day was over spring break. Today, with the help of our PTO, we wanted to say, "Thank you!" to Mrs. Salvitti for all she does to get the school running. If you she her today please make sure to say, "Thank you!"

Welcome Back – Let’s Finish Strong! Dear Oak Lane Families, Welcome back! I hope your family enjoyed a restful and fun-filled Spring Break. As we return to school, we are entering the final and most critical stretch of the school year—and we need every student bringing their A-game every single day. Over the next few weeks, students will be participating in important assessments that help us measure their academic growth and celebrate how far they’ve come. To support their success, we are asking for your help in making sure students are: * At school on time every day * Well-rested and getting proper sleep * Fueling their bodies and minds with nutritious meals * Ready to stay focused and give their best effort Equally important is student behavior. We are encouraging all students to maintain a positive attitude, follow school expectations, and support one another. Students who are not earning at least 85% positive Dojo points for behavior or who receive office referrals may not be eligible to participate in some of our exciting end-of-year celebrations. These activities are a chance to honor hard work, growth, and good citizenship—and we want every child to be part of that! Parents, your partnership is essential. Please talk with your child about the importance of finishing the year strong—academically, behaviorally, and socially. Let’s work together to make sure every student ends the year proud of their progress and ready for what’s next. We believe in our students, and we know they can rise to the challenge. Let’s make these last few weeks our best yet! With appreciation, Mrs. Bowling, Principal

Hello! This is an important update for parents of fourth and fifth graders. We have received several calls and messages regarding what students should wear for the music program tomorrow night. Please note that we shared on Dojo and in the Paw Print Newsletter as early as March 7 that the 4th and 5th grade music program has been postponed due our creative teacher, Ms. Solomon, experiencing an unexpected injury,. Her injury has caused her to miss multiple days of school, and as a result, students have not had enough practice time to feel confident performing in front of an audience. At this time, we plan to combine the 4th and 5th grade music program with our Family Night on Wednesday, April 16. We will share additional details once Ms. Solomon is able to return to work. I encourage you to stay up to date with Oak Lane News by following our Dojo page and reading our newsletter each week, taking note of dates and events that pertain to your student! Thank you for your understanding and support. Best, Mrs. Bowling

Attention: March 31st will now be a student day! March 31 was formerly a teacher work day but will now be a regular day for students. Please update your calendars accordingly!
