Hello families!

We had our school-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) assembly on Wednesday where classes spent the morning rotating around campus learning about the behavior expectations while at school. Each student received a pair of star-shaped sunglasses because they are all shining stars! Staff around campus will be issuing Bucket Fillers to students as they are caught demonstrating kindness, integrity, and responsibility. The students place one part of the duplicate in the office and take the other one home to share with families. Each week, five Bucket Fillers are randomly drawn to recognize those students in our weekly Owl Hoot recognition. In addition, we have a Bucket Filler assembly every other month where more tickets are drawn and those students earn lunch with me!

Every month, we focus on one character trait. The students learn about the trait, and then at the Bucket Filler assembly, each teacher will recognize one student who has done an exceptional job demonstrating this trait. If your child is receiving this character trait award, you will be notified so that you can attend. The character trait this month is responsibility- doing the things you are expected to do and accepting the consequences (results) of your actions.

With the heat continuing through the weekend, visiting the library is a great way to escape the heat and find some new books to read! The city also has a cooling center. Please see below for more information.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Rodriguez

Family Information and Handbook Highlight

Please review the 2024-2025 Family Handbook. This is your go-to guide for any questions about Oakmont.

Students may not use the cell phone at any time during school hours. Cell phones must be turned off or silenced and kept in their backpacks all day. If a staff member sees the phone, the phone will be turned into the office, the parent/guardian will be notified, and the child can pick it up after school. If it happens again, the parent will have to come to the office to pick it up. If a parent/guardian needs to speak to their child, please call the office and we can give the message to your child. Teachers also use Class Dojo, but they are not expected to check their messages during instruction time.
