Don't forget there is no school on Monday or Tuesday this week!
On Monday, January 20, there will be no school as we observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a day dedicated to honoring the life and legacy of Dr. King.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a visionary leader who fought tirelessly for equality, justice, and peace. His leadership during the Civil Rights Movement changed the course of history, reminding us of the importance of standing up for what is right and treating all people with dignity and respect.
This day off is more than just a break from school; it’s an opportunity to reflect on how we can live out Dr. King’s dream in our own lives.
As Dr. King so beautifully said, "The time is always right to do what is right." Let’s honor his legacy by continuing to work towards making the world a better place for all.
There will also be no school for students on Tuesday, January 21, as our teachers will be hard at work during a scheduled Teacher Workday!
This important day gives our teachers the time they need to:
📝 Finalize report cards and evaluate student progress.
📖 Participate in professional development sessions to grow their skills and enhance classroom instruction.
💡 Collaborate with colleagues to plan meaningful lessons and activities for the weeks ahead.
At Oak Lane Elementary, we are committed to providing the best learning experiences for our students, and our amazing teachers are always striving for excellence. Thank you for supporting their hard work and dedication!
An updated Paw Print Newsletter will be shared tomorrow!
Reminder: No School on Tuesday, January 21st for a Required Teacher Workday for all schools except PECIL and Earl Bradsher Preschool
On Monday, we recognize Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! No school on Monday, January 20th.
