OUR VALUES

We believe learning matters, so let’s get:

• Ready
• Respectful
• Responsible

We have a school-wide plan of expectations for our students. Every day Oakdale students practice behaviors to demonstrate that they are respectful, responsible, and ready to develop skills of self-control, character, orderliness, and efficiency.

“I promise to Respect myself, others, and my school”– Students practice this through kind behaviors in class, in the hallways, and in the cafeteria.

“I am Responsible for doing my best in reading, math, and the rest” – Oakdale students work very hard with their teachers to learn how to be successful students.

“I promise to be Ready by following all rules and directions” – By making the commitment to be ready each day, to listen well and follow rules and directions throughout the school, Oakdale students are ready for learning and ready for success.

By practicing the skills of being respectful, responsible, and ready, Oakdale students do an excellent job preparing for a lifetime of achievements. Thank you to students and families for your hard work, smiling faces, and commitment to the Oakdale Elementary community.  Together, we’re GRRReat!!!
