Every Minute Matters

The Oakley Union Elementary School District is excited to partner with students and parents in sharing the importance of school attendance. We are doing this though the 2024-25 attendance campaign – Every Minute Matters!

Regular attendance is essential to your student’s success in school. If students aren’t at school, they aren’t able to learn, it is as simple as that. What is more, most subjects are taught in sequence meaning that students need to understand one concept before they can understand the next concept. Students who miss a lot of school will have a hard time bridging those gaps.

Please remember that there are only 180 school days each year so please try and schedule vacations and routine appointments on the other 185 non-school days or after school has concluded for the day. In addition, our modified traditional schedule provides two weeks off in October, one week off in November, two weeks off in December and two weeks off in March for any family travel plans.
