Sherwood Community & Oakbrooke Families, PBIS is an initiative in which students are explicitly taught and recognized for positive behavior. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, we were unable to formally raise funds for this initiative.

Thank you so much in advance for your support of our students and school! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1KNXYD42RSLWV?ref_=wl_share

Great news! Oakbrooke has been outfitted with three new water bottle stations for refilling water bottles! They are installed in the new water fountains. Please purchase and send your student with a water bottle each day to school. Please mark your child's water bottle with their name. We are excited for students to have their own personal access to water for safety and healthy habits.
