Notes From Oak:
Notes From Oak is the Oak Avenue School newsletter and is one of the primary ways to get information to the Oak community. The newsletter generally consists of:
- School-specific information (Principal’s letter, calendar, etc.).
- The “PTA Notes” section, which includes PTA-related information (for example, information from co-presidents or committee chairs).
- School flyers – information and forms.
- Frequent Flyer – flyer containing information for the entire district (contact: Janie Boscacci, Superintendent’s Assistant at 947-1152).
Notes From Oak Guidelines:
The editors work to present the PTA information submitted in a concise and consistent manner. The deadline for all submissions (flyers and articles) is Friday at noon for inclusion in the following week’s newsletter. No exceptions! This deadline allows time for editing and approval by the principal before the newsletter goes out for printing.
