We look forward to seeing our Huskies on Monday, March 31st

for our 1st day back after spring break.

The week before spring break Brandon Leake spent a week teaching writing in all kindergarten through sixth grade classes. Mr. B also played basketball with students at recess time and answered lots of questions about being the winner of America's Got Talent! We ended the week with Oakwood's first ever (but not last!) Open Mic session! Students had the opportunity to write their very own poem and perform it in front of students, staff, and families. Students were so brave with their willingness to share their hopes, dreams, wishes, and pains through their writing.

We are hoping to bring Mr. B back again very soon!

Lodi USD has released a new Middle School Course Catalog! It includes information about core subjects such as English Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Science, Physical Education, and foreign languages (available at select sites). Please note that elective offerings vary by school, and site staff will provide additional details. The catalog also includes information about A-G requirements to help families understand college and career readiness. While the College/Career Indicator (CCI) and Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways are part of high school, middle school is a great time to start thinking about future opportunities.

The School Accountability Report Card (SARC) provides parents and the community with important information about each public school. Lodi Unified School District’s SARCs are available on the District’s webpage at https://www.lodiusd.net/about/sarcs. If you have questions regarding Lodi Unified’s SARCs or would like to receive a printed copy of a particular school, please contact Accounting at (209) 331-7141. For further information on School Accountability Report Cards, please visit the California Department of Education's web site at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/.

In order to continue keeping our Oakwood students, staff, and families safe before school at drop off and after school at dismissal, we are asking our community to follow all California laws pertaining to our crosswalk. Please see before for reminders.

California law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians at all crosswalks, including those near schools. Drivers should be especially careful in school zones, where children may not be aware of traffic.

Laws for school crosswalks

• California Vehicle Code (CVC) 21950: Requires drivers to yield to pedestrians at all crosswalks, including those near schools

• CVC 21368: Covers marked pedestrian crosswalks near school buildings

• Daylighting law: Prohibits parking within 20 ft of any marked or unmarked crosswalk

Other safety tips for school crosswalks:

• Drivers should be prepared for sudden stops and avoid distractions

• Drivers should slow down and yield to pedestrians at crosswalks

• Drivers should look for pedestrians and be prepared to stop, whether or not the crosswalk has flashing lights

We want to inform you about the 988 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, a new, free, 24/7 helpline for anyone in emotional distress or facing a mental health crisis. If you or your child ever need support, simply call or text 988 or call 1-800-273-8255 to connect with trained professionals who can help.

This is an important resource for your family’s well-being. Please save this number.

Any adults and/or non-Oakwood students will need to show identification anytime you come on campus, for any reason. Our office staff uses the ID to scan into our system to produce a badge that must be worn while on campus.
