This Veterans Day, we pause to recognize and thank all of the brave men and women who have served our country. We are deeply grateful for their courage, dedication, and the sacrifices they and their families have made to protect the freedoms we enjoy. Their service and commitment to our country deserve our respect and appreciation, not just on Veterans Day, but every day. To all of our Oakwood families, staff members, and community members who have served or are currently serving, thank you for your service and sacrifice. We are proud to honor you and are forever grateful for all you have given.

• Tennis Shoes Only: It is an Oakwood expectation that all students wear tennis shoes to school. This is an important safety precaution that helps protect students' feet, ankles, and legs while they are playing and participating in activities throughout the day.

• Appropriate Clothing: It is also an Oakwood expectation that students' midsections remain covered while at school. Please help us by ensuring that shirts are worn appropriately and provide adequate coverage throughout the school day.

We will always give students an opportunity to correct these issues at school when needed. However, if we see a repeated pattern, we will reach out to families and ask for support in bringing appropriate clothing or shoes to school so that students can safely and comfortably participate in all school activities.

Thank you for partnering with us and helping us maintain a safe, respectful, and positive learning environment for all of our Huskies!

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.
