Dear Families,

I hope this message finds you well! As we wrap up the first few weeks of the school year, I’m pleased to share that everything is going smoothly. Our students have settled in wonderfully, and it’s been a joy to see their enthusiasm for learning.

This year, we are placing a strong focus on improving our skills in Reading and Math. We believe that with dedication and support, every student can make great strides in these essential areas.

In addition, we are excited to continue using the Character Strong curriculum to foster important values. This month, our character trait is kindness. We’re encouraging students to practice kindness in all their interactions, and we appreciate your support in reinforcing this value at home.

Here’s to a fantastic school year filled with growth, learning, and kindness!

Warm regards,

Kyle Brady
Principal

The PTSA puts on a variety of events each year and they need parent support as much as possible. Please consider joining and helping support our school with fundraising, event planning, and helping out our school community.

Volunteers are always welcome at Oyama. All people interested in volunteering during the school day must complete the volunteer application with TUSD. The application is linked below. Please also schedule a time to meet with the principal in order to discuss what support is needed from volunteers and the ways you can help prior to filling out the application.
