We are so excited about opening day at Oak Creek!

In response to families not being able to access School-Day this weekend to retrieve their child’s class information, we have developed the following plan for Tuesday morning.

Oak Creek staff will be greeting students and families in the community and will lead the walk to school on the first day. The Community Map and Post Card have been provided below, and include the time that the Owl team members will leave the meeting location to travel to school. Please click on the images below (or the link above) to enlarge and download the Community Map and Post Card. 

Oak Creek staff will be wearing their owl shirts or will be dressed in our school colours: blue and green. You might also see some staff with bright green foam fingers and large owl stickers.

 

Upon arrival at Oak Creek, families will be led to our Welcome Tables located outside the main doors of the school that will be alpha-organized according to each student’s last name (A-G), (H-M), (N-T), (U-Z). Families and students are asked to line up in front of the appropriate table and their homeroom code will be shared (e.g., K1, 3A, 7B).

After receiving their homeroom code, students and families will be guided to the back tarmac where each homeroom teacher will be standing with their class sign (e.g., K1, 3A, 7B). These Arrival and Dismissal Zones will be used before and after school throughout the school year. We have strategically utilized the game areas on the tarmac as the Arrival and Dismissal Zones (linked above) so that classes can be safely spread out (e.g., reducing congestion, enabling sight lines) and to provide a consistent meeting location and daily routine for students and families.

Staff will be set-up outside at our Welcome Tables beginning at 8:40am.

We hope that all students and families will have met their homeroom teacher and new classmates by 9:00am.

 

All students, families and community members are invited to join us for our Opening Day Ceremony at the back of the school on Tuesday morning. Our first day kick-off presentation will begin at 9:10am.

We can’t wait to meet Owl students and families on Tuesday morning, and to set the tone for an amazing inaugural school year at Oak Creek!

 

Sincerely,

Jeff Johnson
