The Board of Trustees approved the current Mission Statement in February 2008. There are several components that comprise the total document. Each of these components is important and has significance for the Division. These components are explained in the following text. This information was also presented by the Board Chairperson to the delegates at the 30th Annual School Committee Conference.
Oak Lake Community School is proud to be a community school! We seek to provide a positive and safe environment where students can develop their potential and lifelong skills for an ever-changing world. At OLCS students, staff, and the community come together to learn, make friends, and to have fun.
Daily School Opening Time:Since the buses are timed to have students arrive as close to 8:30 A.M. as possible, we would encourage town students to not arrive before that time either, unless previous arrangements have been made with the principal.Home Ec. & Shops:Grades 7 and 8 attend Day 2 - P.M. Students attending Home Ec. and Shops should have a signed note from parents if they go downtown. This practice, however, is discouraged, since students miss important and often necessary time out of Home Ec. and Shops classes.Report Cards:The same report for the three terms is sent home each time. Spaces are provided on the report for grading and comments in each term. Therefore, we request parents to sign and return these reports on Parent Interview Day. Students are cautioned to take good care of these report cards, since only the one will be sent home and returned each term.Milk:Chocolate milk are available for purchase at noon. Cost is .75. Prepayment plan is encouraged.Pizza Days:We sell pizzas on Tuesdays, beginning in November.
