Makers Gotta Make
What do I need to do?
Print out your Makers Gotta Make grid and start making! As you complete the maker activities listed (or your own activity), cross off the corresponding box. We'd love to see your photos as you make - post them and tag us on social media! @oakhillday #ODSLife
How will I "prove" what I've done?
We trust you and your parents! The only "proof" we need is the Makers Gotta Make Grid with your marked off box(es) and your parent's signature when we come back to school in the fall.
What about my reading log? Will I be recording what I read?
You will not be creating a book log for Oakhill but Mid-Continent library has an amazing summer reading program where you can create your book log and win prizes too. We encourage you to sign up for their program here: https://www.mymcpl.org/summer-library-program.
When do I start?
Today! No need to wait :)
Sports Physicals
If your 3rd through 8th-grade student wants to participate in after-school athletics during the 2020-2021 school year, we must have a sports physical on file before the first day of practices. The standard MSHSAA physical form will be accepted, as well as the Oakhill physical form, which can be found here. Your completed physical can be mailed or emailed back to school to the attn. of Nurse Cathy or Nurse Jan. You can also upload your completed physical to your SchoolDoc account.
Information on Sports registration will be available in late July. Practices are expected to begin the second week of August.
If you have any questions about athletic eligibility please contact Coach Smith.
If you have any question about your sports physical, please contact Nurse Cathy.
Move Over Summer Reading... Makers Gotta Make!
Just as our libraries evolved from quiet reading spaces into bustling maker spaces this past school year, our summer reading program has evolved too. This summer we want you to keep reading, dreaming, creating, exploring and making. We've created a "Makers Gotta Make!" grid to help you plan your making.
We've separated the grid into 5 categories:
Make something cool to share with your family and friends!
Art is everywhere. Find it or create it!
Knowledge is power! Learn something new.
Explore the world around you!
Read whatever you want!
As you record your activities, you'll have the chance to earn some super fun prizes! The more making you do, the more chances you'll have to earn prizes. For every 5 boxes you mark off, you'll earn a raffle ticket. We'll be drawing from the raffle tickets for some super fun prizes!

Why choose an independent private education?
By choosing an independent private education, you have the opportunity to choose a school whose philosophy, values, and teaching style fit your child. Independent private schools can also offer your family small class sizes, excellent teachers, and high academic standards.
Oakhill Day School is a place where children discover themselves as learners in a community where they feel valued and known. We invite you to learn more about the active learning that happens here!
