Winter break is December 20-31. To help make sure you and your children have a restful break, we have asked that no homework be assigned during this time. Teachers may assign long-range assignments in the weeks ahead of the break, allowing students to practice time management skills, but no assignments will be due immediately following the break.
Oak Hill's office will be closed during Winter break. Regular school and office hours resume on Monday, January 3rd. We wish all of our families a relaxing winter break!.

After Christmas, you will notice some changes in the front of the school for walkers and kiss and ride students. The construction fence will be moved further out into the parking lot to accommodate the new addition, removing access to the sidewalk. The portion of the kiss and ride lane that parallels the school will also be moved further out. Sturdy, orange and white barriers will be placed to block off the driving lane from the pedestrian walkway. The entrance and exit to kiss and ride will remain the same, but there will only be a single lane of traffic. We ask for your patience as there will be no passing lane with the new design. |
