Good Morning MVP Families... due to driver shortage today, Cactus Mouse riders will need to be released from school 45 min earlier today at 1pm so the bus can still run for them. If you don't need your Cactus Mouse student to ride the bus, they can go with the rest of the students today at 1:45pm with no Cactus Mouse coverage for the PM run today.

Good morning all COCSD Families! If your child is riding the bus home from after-school clubs, aka 21st Century, please make sure you know the arrival time. Kinders and 1st graders NEED to have a grown-up to get them off the bus. If they have older family members, that is ok too. Any changes need to be called through your campus office. Thank you!

Mrs. Ozuna's class is on their third Pom Pom Party, and it’s only the 9th day of school! Today, they’re turning the classroom into an epic fort-building extravaganza. Each time the class transitions quietly and as a team, they score a handful of pom poms. It’s amazing to see how the students are already rocking teamwork and getting rewarded for it. Pom Pom Parties are truly the best! 🎉🏰✨#PomPomParty

Oak Creek School's Agriculture and Culinary Program is pleased to announce its partnership with Manzanita Outreach. Mrs. Ludden is utilizing the produce from the food share program to educate students on both the practical applications of the food provided through this assistance program and the health benefits associated with consuming fruits and vegetables. Recently, students prepared a vegetable and fruit juice using apples, grapes, and beets from the week's share box. The resulting juice was both delicious and nutritious. Thank you Manzanita Outreach for your commitment to our community and families.
