Dear Oakdale Families,
Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year! I am not only excited, but humbled to serve as your Principal. This year has gotten off to a great start as students have come off of the summer break focused and ready to learn. We want to thank you for your support at home and in the classroom. There is research to support the relationship between high parent involvement and high student achievement. So, we highly encourage you to join the PTA, visit our school Facebook website (www.facebook.com/OakdaleES), your teacher's webpage, and sign-up to volunteer and get involved. We need your help and support.
Parent-Teacher conferences can begin as early as October 21st. Are you prepared? Please come ready to ask teachers how you can support us and what does your child need to know before going to the next grade so that you can set goals together. One of our initiatives for this year is for students to be able to explain their goals and the progress they are making to meet them.
This year we are also looking for ways to engage parents through technology. Using our web sites, as well as emails and other means of communication, so please be sure that your child's teacher can get in touch with you in multiple ways if possible. We are looking forward to an AWESOME year filled with us SOARING to the top!
Professionally yours,
Kim Alexander
Principal
