Oaktree Elementary School

Oaktree Elementary School Oaktree Elementary School believes in the development of the whole child and that our school should be more than a content machine. Creativity and Innovation
2.

The latest research says that students today do not need a school to deliver content because content is available everywhere, mostly for free:

“Students who only know how to perform well in today’s education system—get good grades and test scores, and earn degrees—will no longer be those who are most likely to succeed. Thriving in the twenty-first century will require real competencies, far more

than academic credentials.”
― Tony Wagner, Most Likely to Succeed:

Preparing Our Kids for the Innovation Era
In order to compete, our students need to develop the following skills:
1. Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
3. Communication and Collaboration
4. Flexibility and Adaptability
5. Initiative and Self-Direction
6. Social and Cross-Cultural Skills
7. Productivity and Accountability
8. Leadership and Responsibility

This is where The Leader in Me comes in. Oaktree Elementary School is a The Leader in Me School. If you are unfamiliar with The Leader in Me or need a refresher, The Leader in Me is:

1. Is a process designed to help teachers develop leadership skills in their students.
2. Helps students discover their unique strengths.
3. Gives all students an opportunity to shine—to become leaders.
4. Helps infuse the language of the 7 Habits into all the curriculum.

Yesterday we started the school year with some special visitors!

Ember and Blanche spent the morning visiting familiar faces, meeting new friends, and helping calm a few first-day jitters along the way!

We were so excited to welcome Blanche yesterday and are grateful for the comfort, smiles, and sweet moments these two bring to our students and staff. 💙💛🐾
