Let's line the field and fill the gym in unity as we thank God for His faithfulness and kindness. This is sure to be a great blessing to our seniors and their families!

Check-in & Check-out in the School Office

Have an appointment? Need to pick your child up early? Please check your child out in the office first. Once you've checked your child out you may pick him up from the classroom or ask the office to call the classroom. If you send a note with your child in the morning his teacher will send him to the office to meet you at the appropriate time. Likewise, please stop by the office to check your child in when returning to campus after an appointment, or anytime your child is arriving after 8:30am. Making sure that all students are checked in and out through the office by parents is a protection for your child and their classmates.

Excused (Planned) Absence Forms on Jupiter

If your child will be missing school due to a planned absence please print and complete the Excused Absence Form available under Forms in Jupiter. This form should be turned into the school office at least 3 days prior to the absence. Please note, your child is still responsible for collecting homework ahead of time and completing it during his absence. Please contact the school office if you have any questions.

2023-24 Yearbook Photos Wanted!
*Upload any photos from the year so far.

Calling all photographers! The yearbook committee is seeking photos for The Oaks' 2023-24 yearbook. There are several ways to submit your photos:

• Email – send your pictures directly to the yearbook photo album at 23-24-yearbook@yogile.com
• Upload – in your Jupiter parent portal go to Materials, select School Office, and click the link for Yearbook Photos. This will take you to a direct link where you can upload your photos. *You can also bookmark the album to upload anytime throughout the year.
• Flash Drive – bring your pictures into the school office on a flash drive & we'll upload them for you.

Lots of photos are needed to make an outstanding yearbook, so your help in acquiring a large selection is greatly appreciated! 

Weekly Prayer
*Ladies' – Mondays [8:30–9:00am]
*Men – Wednesdays [8:00–8:30am]

All Oaks parents and grandparents are invited to join in a time of weekly prayer for our school community. Ladies will meet on Mondays, following Cantabile, in the upstairs conference room from 8:30–9:00am. Children are welcome. Men will meet on Wednesdays in Mr. Charlie Dowers' office from 8:00–8:30am. We hope you will join as you're able to lift up our school in prayer.

Volunteer Opportunities

What a privilege it is to be part of a community that is always willing to lend a hand. Throughout the school year there are many opportunities to serve that are on an as-needed basis (rather than a weekly or monthly commitment). The 2023-24 volunteer sign-up is now available for you to sign up to substitute teach, help in a classroom, take yearbook photos, offer your professional expertise, and much more! Knowing who is available to ask in a time of need is a great service to our community, so please take a moment to look over this list and see if there's an area or two where you would be willing to lend a hand. Thank you!
