Oak Reading Challenge to 1.5 million minutes Oak Reading Challenge to 1.5 million minutesResearch proves that a family that reads together helps children develop a love of reading and therefore performs better in school and after. It is recommended that students read independently, read aloud to a family member or listen while a loved one reads to them for at least 20 minutes a day. In a 30-day month that is 600 minutes. Just imagine how that helps with vocabulary building and great discussions! Thank you for helping Oak to be even better each day by becoming a true Reading School.

Change in Traffic Pattern for Car Riders Due to the large number of car riders, backed up traffic and some car accidents, Bartlett Police has decided and the school has agrees to move a portion of the line on Oak onto Deerfield. In other words after the line reaches Deerfield it will turn and not continue down Oak. This is for the safety of parents waiting for their turn in line and cars driving down Oak. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we implement this new traffic pattern. As always, dismissal will begin promptly at 3 and end by 3:15.
