Summer School - Camp Invention
The Office of Student Learning Assistance is offering the Camp Invention program this summer. We will have Camp Invention here at Grand Oaks from June 22nd - July 17th, from 8-12 every day!
Camp Invention enables students to enhance their creative problem-solving, literacy, and mathematics skills through real-life, project-based learning activities. For incoming 1st - 8th graders (1st - 5th grade at Grand Oaks). Click the image below for the registration site.
Summer Reading - free books and tips!
FREE BOOKS FOR SUMMER READING
We have free books in front of the office for your child's summer reading. Summer reading is essential for preventing academic loss and expanding their vocabulary. Feel free to take as many as you would like. Happy reading!
Announcements
No supervision before 8:20 AM
Reminder: No staff are on duty at Grand Oaks prior to 8:20 AM.
Recently, there have been more students arriving early without parental supervision. When conflicts between students arise and adults are not present, this can lead to ongoing problems throughout the day. Please remember to drop off at or after 8:20. Thank you!
May Highlights
PTA Glow Dance
The Glow Dance was a grand time for all! Thanks to all of the parents who support PTA and help to put on wonderful events to connect us all!
Big Day of Service
Over 40 volunteers showed out for our Big Day of Service this May! We were able to give the garden and the blacktop a BIG glow up, and add some welcoming Gators throughout campus! Many thanks to all of the volunteers who joined us in celebration to make our campus beautiful and nurturing.
Literacy Night was a hit!
Pickleball tournament
Our annual 5th grade vs Teachers Pickleball tournament brought out all stars from all corners of the school! We enjoyed great plays and superior sportsmanship by students and staff alike.
Sweet students doing good deeds every day
These students were caught in the act of spontaneously cleaning up the school grounds. Here at Grand Oaks we foster communities of service and caring, and our students reflect this in their kind deeds.
"Camping" trips!
2nd grade and TK both went camping in their classrooms!
Shirt signing and theme days
Many of our classrooms enjoyed signing parties and fun theme days this week to celebrate this year of growth and community.
