Message from the Principal

Welcome to Oakwood School. I am thrilled to have you as part of our school community and look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and memorable experiences.  I’ve had the honor and privilege of working at Oakwood School as the assistant principal for the last 4 years and am fortunate to be the new principal for the 2024-2025 school year.  Last year marked the completion of 15 years in public education and I look forward to many more in District 113A!  

At Oakwood School, a successful educational journey is built on a foundation of providing a safe school environment, creating warm and welcoming classrooms, and most importantly, ensuring all children are given the tools and resources to grow as students.

We understand that a child's education is a collaborative effort between the school and the family. Your involvement and support play a crucial role in your child's academic and personal development. We encourage you to participate in school events, volunteer opportunities, and parent-teacher conferences. By working together, we can ensure that your child receives the best possible education and support.

Communication is key to fostering a strong family-school partnership. This is something that I pride myself on and will continue to do for the 2024-2025 school year. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or the school administration with any questions, concerns, or suggestions.

We are excited about the upcoming school year and the opportunities it brings. Together, we can create a positive and enriching experience for your child. Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Best regards,

Ryan Talaga
