Dear Oakwood CUSD 76 Parents & Guardians, In awareness and observance of the Solar Eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024, we have chosen a regular attendance day for our students, including indoor learning activities related to this instructional opportunity. If any of our parents choose not to send their child to school that day or pick up their child early that day, they will need to notify the office prior. The absence will be considered "excused" for that time, and makeup work will be due upon returning to school. Yours in Education, Larry D. Maynard, Ed.S. Superintendent - Go Comets!
