All children will be dismissed from the back of the building. Please form a line along the side of the building into the back parking lot. You do not need to exit your vehicle. Young children will be escorted to their vehicle. We ask that you please be cautious and safe when driving.
AUGUST 14 - MIGHTY OAK ACADEMY OPEN HOUSE!
On Saturday August 14 from 12pm - 2pm we will have an open house at Mighty Oak Academy. This will be an opportunity for you to come tour the school, see your new classroom, fill out any remaining paperwork needed for the school and have some fun!
Preparing for the start of school
Paperwork
At the Open House next weekend we will have forms that we will need every parent/guardian to complete for their student. If you are unable to come to the open house we will have these forms available on the first day of school. We will be collecting the following forms:
Health Information Form - this form will collect information about health conditions the school should be aware of including allergies and dietary restrictions
Student Information Form - this form will collect all emergency contact information as well as who is authorized to pick up your child from school
Emergency Release Plan Form - this form will detail your plans to pick up your child in the event of an early dismissal for weather or emergencies
Absence Request Form - we will have copies available for parents to take home to fill out and return in the event you need to request an absence from school for your child
Medical Authorization Form - this form needs to be filled out in the event that your child has a prescription medication that needs to be taken during school hours
Volunteer Form - this form will collect information for any parents that wish to volunteer at the school
These forms will be available to fill out at the open house on August 14 and on the first day of school.
School Records
If you are a new student at Mighty Oak Academy this year, please be sure to inform your child's previous school this week that your child will not be returning to their old school, but will be attending Mighty Oak Academy. We have already requested the records for all of our enrolled students, but it is important for parents to also let the previous school know your child will not be returning. If you have any questions about that process please feel free to email or call Mighty Oak Academy.
School Supplies
Students are welcome to bring their own backpacks and school supplies if they wish, however we will be providing any school supplies that our students need. On the first day of school we will be distributing school supplies to all students.
COVID Procedures
We are watching the infection rates of COVID very closely and will be making a decision this week as to whether or not we will require masks for school. We will be sending a separate email detailing all of our COVID procedures this coming week.
Here is our 2021 - 2022 School Calendar. The first day of school and last day of school are highlighted in red. All Student holidays are highlighted in orange. The last day of school might change if we have an unexpected number of closures for snow over the winter.
Tuition:
First tuition payments will be due by the end August and then monthly thereafter. We will be contacting families individually regarding tuition payments.
