As it gets colder and colder, this is just a reminder to Oakesdale families that thanks to a donation from the Knights of Columbus in Colfax, we have coats for kids of all ages. Sometimes there is also snowpants, gloves, boots, and hats, too. If anyone in your family needs a coat, take one off the rack by the office-keep it, and wear it, no questions asked. If a size is needed that is not on the rack, just let us know. #NighthawkProud
Good Morning Oakesdale Families!
Just a reminder that this week is conference week. We have early release days Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. School hours are 8-12 each of those days and all students do need to leave at noon as teachers will be in parent conferences after that. Preschool leaves at noon with the rest of the students.
The BOOK FAIR is in Room 3 and is open during conferences. Come by and go shopping! Great gift ideas for people of all ages.
Students in grades 6-12 do come for their student led conferences at their assigned time with parents; this is a required part of their flex class.
All conferences at all grade levels do have assigned times on Monday or Tuesday. We thank you for being on time, and respecting the time limit. If more time is needed, that can be scheduled between each parent and the individual teacher(s).
The school closes at noon on Wednesday for Thanksgiving Break.
Thank you. Have a great day. Dr. D
For all of you wondering what Mrs. Renstrom spent her Saturday doing, here is the answer. She was getting Room 3 ready for this week's book fair! Stop by Room 3 anytime Monday or Tuesday to do some book shopping! Open in the evenings for conferences on both days. See you there! #NighthawkProud

Hello Families,
Today is the final day of our Safety Week and we will be participating in an evacuation drill. Only used in significant emergency situations, evacuations are just that-we leave the school campus. Today we will be back to normal no later than 9:45, having completed the drill in its entirety by then.
Again, just like all other drills this week, it has been clearly communicated to students that today's evacuation is a drill. All week, students and staff have been reviewing how each drill/situation would be handled from each classroom and area of the building.
Thank you,
Dr. D
Good Afternoon Oakesdale Families,
Normally when a fire drill occurs, you don't receive a notice from me. However, in keeping with the safety week communications, we are communicating that today was a fire drill and all went fine.
Following the fire drill, I did have a discussion with the middle and high school students about the swatting hoaxes that have gone on around the area and state. I communicated the importance of everyone paying attention to social media posts, emails, texts, and pretty much any other communication method-and to tell someone if they see any kind of threat, whether it be vague or not.
Further, I explained the importance of paying attention to behaviors of friends and others they know, whether from here or anywhere else-and if someone is "off" to please tell someone.
In the last several months, from last year to this, I have mailed several pieces of information regarding hoaxes around the local area and state. Please continue to pay attention that, and please let us know if you hear or see anything.
Thank you,
Dr. D
Hello,
Today's drill was a Shelter in Place. Today's drill was focused on if there was an exterior threat, such as a chemical spill in town; toxic fumes/gas in the air. Shelter in place involves students staying in classrooms, doors and windows being sealed, and no movement in or between buildings.
Just like each previous day, when the shelter in place was announced, it was clearly announced as a drill.
Thank you,
Dr. D
