Dear Oakdale Families,

- Technology Fee: Rock Hill Schools is committed to providing students with the best learning experience possible. The annual technology fee is $20 and provides your child with access to instructional technology and materials. Families can pay at the school or online for a $1 credit card fee. Please make sure this fee is paid as soon as possible.
- Please exercise patience as we navigate a new traffic pattern due to Harper Gault closing.

Invite a Veteran. Submit a Hero. Help Us Honor Their Service.
We are excited to honor the brave men and women who have served our country during our upcoming Veterans Day Program! We invite each Oakdale family to help us make this celebration special by inviting a veteran to attend our program and breakfast as our honored guest.
We are also creating Oakdale’s Wall of Honor to recognize the veterans who are part of our Dragon Family. If you have a family member, friend, or loved one who has served or is currently serving in the United States Armed Forces, please submit their information so we can proudly recognize them.
Wall of Honor Form:
Reserve The Dragon Stone for one magical week (Saturday–Friday) and let your creativity shine! A $25 reservation fee is required and payment is due at the time of sign-up. Reservations without payment will be released so another dragon keeper can claim the stone. The reservation is rain or shine and is nonrefundable.
Money can be sent via PayPal to "Oakdale PTO". PayPal is the requested payment method as it limits cash interactions with the school. If you would like to reserve the stone and cannot pay via PayPal please reach out to the PTO at oakdalepto1@gmail.com.
Hey, Mathematicians! This week, your mission is to become a Math Game Master!
Math isn't just about worksheets it's also about having fun, thinking strategically, and solving problems!
Gather your family and choose a game that uses numbers, counting, or problem-solving skills. You can play UNO, dominoes, Yahtzee, a dice game, or even create your own math game!
