Good morning Oakbrooke Parents! Our first week and first part of this week has been fabulous! We are so excited to see all of our Oakbrooke students back for this year. We need your help with morning drop-off. Please pull all the way forward and let your student out quickly. Also, you may not park in the car line or the parking lot to walk students up. You must park on the street or across the street. PreK parents must pull all the way up along the fence to sign in PreK students. The car rider drop-off must remain clear. Also, please drop off your student closer to 7:15 if they are eating breakfast. Thank you again for a wonderful week and first of the week.
We loved seeing your college and career shirts last week! Don't forget that it's AVID Wednesday again tomorrow for all PCSSD students and staff. #PCSSDproud #ServeAll
