Our Virtue for September is COURAGE.

* Handwork Club and Chess Club begin this week!

Signed permission slip is required.

* Remember there is FREE Childcare sponsored by the Parent Council. Please sign up at the front desk or email summer@blueoakcharterschool.org. This helps them plan for the proper number of childcare providers.

See Community Calendar for more detail on any event.

* Order Forms will be sent home this week. Your child's photo will be taken whether or not you send them with the order form and payment. So if you forget, you will have the opportunity to view a proof photo and place an order later.

* Photographers website https://www.thauphoto.com/

We love Mark Thau Photography! They are excellent and always donate a portion of their sales back to the School. They also keep all digital files, so if you ever forgot to order photos in previous years, you can contact them through their website to place an order. Also, if you lost your child's school photos in the camp fire (from a previous order) they will replace them for free. They will replace the group class photos at cost.

* They are seeking Volunteers to help with School Photos. They offer discounted photo packages for Volunteers. Please see the Volunteer Needs page on the website for all the details and sign-up there to volunteer.

(your time can be counted towards your B.Oak volunteer hours)
