This is a new collection process for Box Tops this year!!! Save up your Box Tops in groups of 50. (50 per each baggie please. This will help us count.)

Save the date for our upcoming Family Math Night on Tuesday, October 17th. This is free family-fun event as we highlight our "STEAM" focus area of math. Alongside the parents; students of all ages will have the opportunity to explore the wonders of mathematics with a fun night of "Nifty Numbers". They may even try to find ways to challenge and stump all of you! For more details, be on the lookout for our Family Math Night flyers that will be coming home soon. Check out some fun pictures from last years Family Math Night!







All students need to come through the office for before school activities. Parents please remember no drop offs any earlier than 5 minutes prior to scheduled activity.

All visitors must sign in to be on the Blue Oaks campus, even for just a few minutes. This is for the safety of our students as well as our visitors. In the event of an emergency, we would need to be able to account for everyone. With that said, only sign out when you are actually leaving the campus. Thank you for your cooperation and help in keeping our campus safe.
