Today is national school lunch hero day.
We have some wonderful lunch ladies and Foods Coordinator (Amy M.) If you see them today please tell them thank you for all they do to keep our kids fed and of course us too. They are amazing!
National Teacher Appreciation Week is the perfect time to celebrate these outstanding individuals who dedicate so much of their lives to guiding children, teens, and young adults toward a better future. This year, National Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6-10, 2024, and National Teacher Day is May 7, 2024.
The School District has some exciting plans for our Teachers and Staff this week!
Here are some ideas for STUDENTS/FAMILIES to show appreciation:
*Write a thank-you note to your child's teacher.
*Give your child's teacher a gift card to their favorite store or restaurant.
*Say, thank you to a teacher who made a difference in your life.
Let's celebrate the wonderful Teachers and Staff that lead, guide, serve, and nurture our students daily at Oakwood Schools!

Dear Oakwood CUSD 76 Parents & Guardians,
In awareness and observance of the Solar Eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024, we have chosen a regular attendance day for our students, including indoor learning activities related to this instructional opportunity.
If any of our parents choose not to send their child to school that day or pick up their child early that day, they will need to notify the office prior. The absence will be considered "excused" for that time, and makeup work will be due upon returning to school.
Yours in Education,
Larry D. Maynard, Ed.S.
Superintendent - Go Comets!

Dear Oakwood CUSD #76 Families,
School Safety Communication is our priority and so we wanted to make you aware that earlier today while three of our high school students were traveling on West I-74 they were involved in a car accident. None of our students were injured and the parents/guardians were notified. The students were safely transported by administration back to Oakwood High School. We are thankful for the safety of our students, and the responsiveness of our high school staff and administration.
Thankful,
Mr. Maynard
