Popsicle Pop-In - Monday, August 16

Make your way to the school on Monday, August 16 for Popsicle Pop-In! This is the perfect opportunity to meet your new teacher, drop off school supplies (if you didn't preorder with the PTO) and enjoy a popsicle on the playground with classmates. 

Time: To reduce crowd capacity, you're asked to come during the time that coordinates with your child's last name. Last names: A-L from 5:30-6pm, M-Z from 6-6:30pm 

** Please wear a mask when entering the building. **

Welcome to the OHE Community

Thanks to some amazing volunteers, new students received a sign welcoming their families to the Oak Hill community. As you can see, the signs were very well received! Visit the Facebook page to see more pictures. Thank you to our volunteers!

Gotta Green Thumb?

Actually, you don't even need a green thumb. A set of garden gloves would be handy, however. Help get the OHE Garden all ready for a new school year by volunteering a little of your time to pull weeds, put down new mulch, etc. We'd love to see your kiddos volunteer with you! 

Complete Dismissal Information

In the Friday, August 6 newsletter from Mrs. Maresh, families were asked to provide the primary mode of dismissal for each child (walker, car rider, Y-care, etc). Please also refer to the newsletter for arrival and dismissal procedures. Together we can keep children and staff safe. 

School Supply Lists by Grade

Access the list of school supplies needed for each grade. If you pre-ordered school supplies through the PTO this summer, they will be in your child's classroom on the first day of school. If you're purchasing your own supplies, you can drop those off with your child's teacher during Popsicle Pop-In on August 16.

Get to Know ParentVUE

ParentVUE allows you to communicate with staff, add money to your child's lunch account, review grades, pay registration fees and see your child's 2021-2022 teacher (after August 16). Log on and stay connected!
