Parents please feel free to give me feedback through the REMIND APP of what is working for you with working with your child at home. We hope to make all of the enrichment learning opportunities we are providing a way for you to bond with your child during this time at home as well as continue to learn and review kindergarten academic content standards.

BIG THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!! Our kindergarten team has been so successful this year in large part because of the family participation and we will continue to have success because parents and teachers are a TEAM and working together to meet the needs of our students and children.
ROAR Announcements for today!! YAY BEYAN!!!
Please watch with your family and make sure to stand up TALL for the Pledge of Allegiance and our Oakman Pledge!!
We continue to express great gratitude to how our families have come together to help and support each other.
