Reunite - The Pathway Back
As we prepare for a safe return to school on Aug. 12, we have created a dedicated COVID-19 Task Force (“CTF”) comprised of our Senior Leadership Team, the OCS Director of Medical Services, and other key members of our staff. The CTF, acting in accordance with the mandates of local, state and federal health officials, will work to ensure the safety of our students, faculty and staff through the addition and integration of physical modifications, processes and safety precautions. We will strive to guide the school community through these unprecedented challenges while protecting the values and programs that help make Oaks Christian School unique. Not everything will look the same, but what will remain is our dynamic community made up of dedicated faculty and staff, supportive parents, and engaged students.
