Dear Oakwood CUSD 76 Family, Due to icy road conditions expected during the morning commute, OAKWOOD CUSD76 will have an e-learning day on Tuesday, January 23, 2024.

All of the Vermilion County Basketball games for tonight (1/18/24) have been moved to the Bismarck-Henning Rossville Alvin High School location from DACC. This is due to the water issue in Danville. Our Oakwood boys' game will begin at 8 pm. If you prepaid for tickets, you will need to be prepared to show your ID. Otherwise, you have to pay cash at the gate. As of right now, this has been the only decision that has been made for the Vermilion County Basketball tournament. A decision will be made tomorrow on the rest of the tournament. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Dear Oakwood CUSD #76 Families, Teachers, Staff, and Students: We will utilize an E-Learning Day on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, due to the forecasted extreme temperatures and wind chill advisory in the early a.m. Extracurricular activities will continue as scheduled. Kind regards, Larry D. Maynard, Ed.S. Superintendent - Go Comets! Oakwood CUSD No.76
