Dear Rocket Community,
Due to the threat of severe weather, tonight’s Meet & Greet with our new superintendent, Kendall Still, has been rescheduled to take place at the May Board Meeting. Mr. Still travels from the Tulsa area, and we want to ensure his safety.
The regular School Board Meeting will continue as scheduled, including the seating of our new board member, Eric Davis.
We will also take time this evening to recognize and thank Caeli Williams for her years of dedicated service to the Oakdale Board of Education. Her impact on our school community has been significant, and we are grateful for her leadership.
Please stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
— Dr. J

🐸🔬 Hands-On Science in 6th Grade! 🔬🐸
Our 6th graders dove into learning as they worked on dissecting frogs under the guidance of Mrs. Harrison. This hands-on experience gave students a deeper understanding of how living systems work and brought science to life in an unforgettable way.
We love seeing curiosity grow as students explore, ask questions, and discover more about the world around them! 🌎✨
