Back to Oakhill
It's time to get ready for Back to School at Oakhill!
At Oakhill, we believe that clear expectations and open communication help set the tone for a successful school year. Our Parent and Student Handbooks outline the policies, procedures, and values that guide our school community. Whether you're new to Oakhill or returning for another year, we encourage all families to take time to review the handbooks together. They’re an important resource for understanding everything from daily routines and dress code to academic policies and communication guidelines.

Sports Physicals & Registration
Pre-Participation Sports Physical (4th - 8th Grade ONLY):
Prior to participating in athletics here at Oakhill each 4th - 8th grade student must have an updated sports physical on file (School Doc). Students without a valid/updated sports physical on file will not be allowed to participate until that is completed. Sports physicals are now valid for two-calendar years from the date they were performed.

If you have any questions about athletic eligibility please contact Mr. Fernandez.

I really enjoy the month of June; a slower pace for sure - the past school year wrapped up and plenty of time to prepare for the new school year. Summer at Oakhill brings excitement to the campus!

As we prepare for the new school year, families no longer enrolled will be unsubscribed from The ACORN after today’s issue. However, as valued donors and event participants, you’ll continue to receive other communications that better reflect your new role in the Oakhill community.
