UPDATES!Dear Parents & Guardians, Welcome back to another school year at Oppenheimer, and to all the new Kindergarten parents, we are so happy to have your little ones join us. Due to COVID, we will be continuing our PAC meetings via Zoom. For those of you who have not attended before, every PAC meeting includes an update from our principal, Hope Sterling. And since the meetings are being offered via Zoom, there's an opportunity to listen in as you go about the things that need doing at home in the evenings. The agenda for this and all meetings along with zoom details are usually emailed to the Oppenheimer school community the week of our PAC meeting. Thank you to the new members who have stepped in with the PAC. In these crazy times we are looking to create as much simplicity and normalcy to school life as possible and you are all an invaluable part of that family. While this school year definitely looks different we still need and welcome parent involvement to enrich the school experience and support our teachers/staff at Oppenheimer Elementary. We look forward to meeting you on Zoom. Here are the upcoming dates for your calendar Sincerely, Your David Oppenheimer Executive Committee Looking for more on the COVID response or how to get involved and advocate for our children?
