🎒📅 Reminder! School resumes tomorrow, Tuesday, January 20.
Today we recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day and celebrate his lasting impact.
Our 8th-grade students continue the long-standing tradition of Book Buddies with their 1st-grade counterparts. We love seeing our oldest Rockets step into leadership roles—reading, mentoring, and setting wonderful examples of the importance of literacy in our daily lives.
Moments like these show what it truly means to be part of the Oakdale community. 🚀✨

The Oakdale rowing season begins on February 9th! Oakdale Rowing Team coaches will be available during recess on Wednesday, the 21st, to provide information about the team and demonstrate the rowing stroke on a rowing machine. Coaches will also be available at 4 pm in the middle school pod for a parent meeting.
We've been getting questions about next year's calendar (we know you are anxious to plan)! To let you know, Oakdale’s Board of Education will discuss and adopt the 2026–2027 school calendar at the February board meeting (2/10/26). This calendar will outline important dates for the upcoming school year, including the first and last days of school, holidays, and breaks.
Families will be able to access the calendar shortly after the meeting. We appreciate your patience as we plan ahead for another great year at Oakdale! 🚀
This month, we are proud to celebrate the incredible service of Oakdale’s three-member Board of Education. These leaders give their time, talents, and hearts to ensure our students, staff, and community thrive.
Caeli Williams – President
Caeli and her husband, Brian, have been part of the Oakdale community for 17 years and are raising three children here. A longtime volunteer, Caeli has served Oakdale through PTC leadership, RocketPack coordination, and now leads our Teacher Appreciation Committee. With a background in nursing and a heart for service, Caeli’s love for this school shines in everything she does.
Jodi Hietpas – Vice President
Jodi and her husband, Greg, returned to Oakdale in 2011 and are raising their son, Wyatt, in our community. Jodi has served on the Oakdale School Foundation and is passionate about foster care and special education. A University of Oklahoma graduate and business owner, she brings creativity, compassion, and advocacy to our board.
Kimber Shoop – Clerk
Kimber is a dedicated father of three and husband to Jennifer Hammons Shoop. With two Oakdale graduates and a daughter currently enrolled, Oakdale is truly home. Professionally, Kimber serves as Director of Regulatory Policy and Planning at OG&E, following a distinguished career in law and public service. He brings deep expertise and thoughtful leadership to our board.
We are grateful for these three leaders who serve Oakdale with integrity, vision, and care. Please join us in thanking them for all they do for our students and community! 🚀
Reminder JV Boys and Varsity Girls play at 4:00, followed by JV Boys and Varsity Boys at 5:00. We will be in the two gyms on the backside (east side, I believe) of the Millwood Campus.
Millwood is a digital ticketing school and does not accept cash at the gate. They also have a clear bag policy for all patrons.
