Weekly Update

November 8, 2024

Parents,

We are looking forward to seeing many of you at Parent/Teacher conferences next week. On conference night, our PTO provides dinner for our staff, and it is always very appreciated by our staff. If you are able and would like to help, the link to sign up is below.

When you are at school for conferences, please take a look at our lost and found items to see if any of those belong to your child. Also, if you want to volunteer at the book fair, that link is below.

Just a reminder, Wednesday, November 13 is an early release day. We will dismiss at 12:30.

Drop Off Reminders

Please wait patiently in line during drop off time.
Staff will come out to supervise at 7:20. Please do not drop students off before that.
Please do not cut across the middle of the playground. This isn't safe for students and other drivers.

Pajama Day/2nd Grade Performance

On November 21st at 6:30 p.m., our second graders will perform a musical called, "Pajama Party!" They will be singing about how bedtime can be a blast! To show support to the second graders, we are asking for everyone at Oak Brook to join in our pajama party by wearing pajamas on the day of our concert and final dress rehearsal. Thanks for participating to help cheer on our second graders!

Focus on Character

Service

We will focus on service this week. We define service as the action of helping or doing work for someone. We will start next week by honoring those who served our country with our annual Veterans Day ceremony. This event is always a highlight for both students and families. We look forward to welcoming our honored guests on Monday.

If you are looking for some ways to reinforce service with your child, please refer to the Focus on Character from this month. I have linked it below.

Dropping Items Off at Oak Brook

Just a friendly reminder...When dropping items off at school, please leave them on the table inside the front doors. Staff are monitoring the table as they walk by so no need to ring the bell. Please just fill out a sticky note (include students' name and teacher) and leave the item on the table. Thank you for your help.
