NOVEMBER 15, 2022 - SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS' DAY
Thank you - Oakwood School Board Members
As Superintendent, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to one of the hardest-working groups of volunteers in the community. The Oakwood Community Unit School District No. 76 Board of Education is elected by the community to represent the values and people of the community in the oversight and direction setting of the schools. We are blessed to have such a dedicated group of individuals who voluntarily give hours each month to fulfill their roles to do what is in the best interest of our students.
Our thoughts, respect, and appreciation go out to all of our Veterans on this special day to honor all who have served our Country.
Things to do and say to honor America's heroes.
1. Put out an American Flag
2. Express your thanks to a Veteran in words and deeds.
3. Talk to your family about Veteran family members.
4. Stand for the National Anthem
5. Fulfill your obligations and responsibility for the rights that have been protected and preserved for future generations.
Mrs. Nicoson and Mrs. McMasters have a front-row seat as they are awaiting the OGS Halloween Parade 2022. The Tradition continues!
Mark your calendars for the following parent/guardian, and grandparent event on November 15th, sponsored by the Regional Office of Education #54 and the Oakwood School District. We hope to see you there. (This form has an RSVP)

Dear Oakwood CUSD #76 Families,
Earlier today our grade school and junior high school administration, staff, and students safely and successfully evacuated the facility due to a fire alarm activation that occurred when the wiring on one of our cooking oven hoods malfunctioned (No Smoke or Fire Occurred). During this incident, no one was injured. Once the first responders inspected the building we were given the all-clear to resume school. Thanks to our Unit Office Staff we were able to secure and provide lunches for those students who had their lunches interrupted. Our equipment has been inspected and is working properly as well as extensive cleanup procedures. We appreciate the support and assurance from our local fire department.
School Safety is our number one priority.
Please note that there will be an adjusted menu for the remainder of the week.
Yours in Education,
Larry Maynard, Superintendent
Special thank you and appreciation for our Oakwood Fire Department in providing the educational activity of the "Safe House" for our students today!
