Oakhurst Weekly

As we navigate the evolving role of technology in education, Oakhurst Elementary School and the City Schools of Decatur remain committed to balancing innovative learning with student safety. Principal Triplett has shared a letter addressing our community's questions regarding:

• Safety & Privacy: Our district uses CIPA-compliant filtering and strict Technology Use Requirements (TUR) to protect students.

  
  

• Supervision: Chromebook use is limited to periods of direct teacher supervision.

  
  

• Digital Citizenship: Students engage in media literacy lessons during Crew meetings to learn what is real versus fake online.

  
  

• Parent Partnership: We rely on open communication and family feedback to keep our safeguards effective.

Thank you,

Oakhurst families, please complete and submit this food insecurity request form if your student is experiencing food insecurity within the home and is in need of some supplemental weekend snacks.

The Decatur Education Foundation supplies Oakhurst with snack bags for any student in need. This request form will go directly to our school counselor, Ms. King, and she will send home a snack bag with your student every Friday. Please go through each week's snack bag to remove any snack you may not want your child to have due to allergy concerns, etc.
