Oakhurst Weekly

We are pleased to share that your child's first Progress Report is now available in the Parent Portal.
We encourage you to review the report with your child, celebrate their accomplishments, and discuss any areas where additional support may be helpful. If you have questions or concerns about your child's grades, please don't hesitate to contact your child’s teacher. We are committed to partnering with you to support your child's growth and learning.

Directions for accessing grades in the Parent Portal are on page 24 of the Grading and Reporting Handbook.

Use THIS LINK to view/order your child's school photo.

Your password/access code is your child's student ID# (their lunch number).

Picture retakes/makeups will be on Thursday, October 29th, and class photos will happen this spring.

Any child who did not have a photo taken on October 7th will automatically be included in makeups.
