Oakes Fun Run Fundraiser!

Oakestown Intermediate understands the need to promote a healthy and educational fundraiser to our students while respecting parents repeated requests for an easy no-nonsense approach to helping us reach our goals.  The funds raised go DIRECTLY to student experiences - field trips, science lab experiences, house events, field day extras, special parties, celebrations and more!  These are the extras that bring the magic to Oakestown.

Attendance Policy

Parents:  Absences and appointments can be called in at any time to 616-254-6881 or e-mailed to oakesattendance@gpsbulldogs.org.  Please leave your name, your student's name, your student's grade, your student's teacher, the date, and the reason for their absence. (If no reason is given, the absence will be entered as unexcused). 

If calling for an appointment, please let us know if they will be arriving to school late or if you will need to pick them up at a certain time.  If you need to pick your student up prior to afternoon dismissal (2:35), please make every effort to call/email at least 1 hour before the release time.  This helps us to cut down on the number of times that we need to call into classrooms for student early releases. Thank you!

All students leaving prior to our 2:35 dismissal time must be signed out by a parent before leaving the building.  If you need someone else to pick your child up, please leave that person's information on the attendance line as well.  Thank you!

The Mobile Dentist is coming to Oakestown!

Birthday and Celebration Treats

Please be advised that all treats being shared with other students must be either bakery/store-bought or individually packaged. This policy helps us manage allergens and maintain a safe environment for everyone. 

Please make sure to coordinate with your child's teacher before you bring in a classroom treat.

As a note, teachers and staff are able to accept homemade treats. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
