A Note from the Principal
As we step into March, we are reminded that spring is just around the corner—a season of growth, renewal, and new opportunities! Our students have been working hard both in and out of the classroom, demonstrating respect, responsibility, and a love of learning.
This month brings exciting events, and we encourage families to stay engaged, whether by attending school activities, supporting at-home learning, or simply celebrating your child’s daily successes.
Thank you for your continued partnership in making Oak Hill a place where every student thrives. We appreciate your support and look forward to a wonderful month ahead!

ABSENCES/ATTENDANCE
MISS A DAY, MISS A LOT
Perfect Attendance Pays Off with a Dino-Mite Ride!
Students at Oak Hill Elementary were rewarded in a fun and exciting way for their commitment to perfect attendance! Those who attended school every day in February were entered into a special drawing for a chance to ride around the school on our Dinosaur Stuff Riders.
The lucky winners enjoyed their dino-mite adventure, zooming through the halls with big smiles and lots of cheers from classmates and staff. This fun incentive not only celebrated their dedication but also encouraged all students to prioritize attendance.
Great job to all our students who showed up every day, ready to learn! Keep up the great work, and you might be the next lucky winner!
