📚 Oakwood Teachers Are Learning, Too!

We are excited to begin a year-long professional learning journey with Aida Allen-Rotell from Corwin. Mrs. Allen-Rotell will join us this month for our first PLC+ professional learning day for our Oakwood team. Our teachers will focus on Tier 1 instruction and evidence-based strategies that move student learning forward. We are excited for our teachers to learn, practice, reflect, and put these strategies into action with our students!

👋 Parent-Teacher Conferences

Conferences begin Tuesday, September 22! We look forward to connecting with families about your child's progress. Reminder: Please bring your identification when checking in at the office.

💻 Help Us Reach 100%!

We are still working toward our goal of 100% Online Data Confirmation! If you haven't completed yours yet, please take a few minutes to do so. You can find all the details below. We are almost there!

Let's finish Quarter 1 STRONG, Oakwood! 💙

Principal Sotelo

5th grade families are invited to our Science Study Trip Parent Meeting being held on Thursday, September 17th from 5:30-6:30. We will review important information including trip dates, chaperone details and requirements, student expectations, medical information and medication procedures, fundraising opportunities, hand out paperwork and other important trip details.

This meeting is a great opportunity to make sure families have the information they need and to ask any questions as we prepare for this exciting learning experience!

Thank you to all of our families that continue to complete their Aeries Confirmation. Our goal is 100%! Please stop by the office if you need support getting this completed. Mr. Hector or Miss Nancy would be happy to support you!

We are asking all Oakwood families to please complete your Aeries Online Data Confirmation as soon as possible. This important process helps us make sure we have accurate contact information so we can communicate with you quickly in the event of an emergency, while also ensuring that your student’s school records are up to date.

Your participation also directly impacts funding for our schools. Accurate enrollment and data confirmation help Lodi Unified School District receive approximately $2,000 per student in funding that supports our schools, classrooms, programs, and students.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete your data confirmation. Every student counts, every family matters, and your participation makes a difference!

Beginning July 1, 2026, California Senate Bill 848 requires school volunteers who meet the definition of a volunteer under the law to complete annual Mandated Reporter and Child Abuse Prevention training before or upon beginning volunteer service.

This training helps ensure that adults working with our students understand their responsibility to recognize, prevent, and report suspected child abuse and to maintain appropriate boundaries with students.

For the safety of all students, families, and staff, please use the designated crosswalks at all times when crossing the street. Morning traffic is especially busy, and crossing in the middle of traffic is unsafe. Please also remember that only PM Kindergarten and PM Transitional Kindergarten (TK) students may be picked up in the staff parking lot on Woodcreek Way. All other students should be picked up at the East Gate on Stonewood. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe during arrival and dismissal.

Please take time to read through the student handbook with your child.

Parent Club is still working on finalizing their non-profit status. Once they do, they will start back up with meetings and event planning. If you have any ideas or want to be part of Parent Club, please email oakwoodparentclub@gmail.com.
