Weekly Update
9/4/25

Dear Oak Brook Families,
We have had two great weeks of school even though the heat has been keeping us inside in the afternoons. We do not go out if the "feels like" temp is 100 or more.
Students in grades 3-4 will be bringing home Chromebooks as needed this year, to finish assignments or other things for class. If you would like your child(ren) to bring home their Chromebook every day please send their teacher an email letting them know.
Please send a snack with your child(ren) every day. We have been limited on fresh fruit to provide any students without a snack and are not sure if it will continue. If you are in need, please email Mrs. Terbrock and we can help.
Another reminder about morning car drop off...please stay in your vehicle and we can help get your child(ren) out of the car if needed!
We have been notified by the contractors that a couple students are riding E-Bikes through the bio-retention pond on the neighborhood side of the field in the back. New sod was just laid and as part of the MSD requirements, we need to establish sod in that area for final MSD inspection. That sod is very slippery until established. Please do not let your child(ren) ride any bikes, e-bikes and scooters inside this Parkway property. Thank you!
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Katie & Dan

PTO WELCOME PACKET
Below you will find the PTO Welcome Packet that was handed out at Meet The Teacher night. Kindergarteners will get one sent home this week!
Playground Update
Our playgrounds will be complete with inspections around the middle of November now. We know that this is not ideal but it is out of our control. The track, field, blacktop, b-ball court, and part of the back playground are available until then though! Also, our wonderful PTO has purchased and solicited donations for recess items besides the normal balls and jump ropes which will be available every day also!
CAR DROP-OFF REMINDERS AND A CHANGE
- The first car of the line should pull all the way up to the basketball court where you'll see a staff member waiting for you.
- Please stay in your car and our staff will get your child(ren) out for you. This makes our line move efficiently and quickly.
- Starting the first day of school, cars have until 7:30 to drop off in the back.
- If you arrive after that, you will be directed to the front of the school to drop off and sign your child in on the Chromebook in the vestibule. An adult will be able to help with this until 7:50.
- The back doors will be locked as soon as staff returns inside, so please do not drop off a child while staff is walking to the building. THIS IS FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE!
UPCOMING EVENTS:
- Tuesday, September 8: Picture Day
- Wednesday, September 9: Half Day (11:35 dismissal)
- Thursday, September 10: Open House/Spirit Night/PTO meeting (see flyer above)
