Oak
Knoll School has 34 classrooms, a multipurpose room, a library, and an
administration building. The main campus is
approximately 50 years old. A major renovation (completed as of November 2010) is thanks to a $100
million bond measure approved by the community to upgrade all district
facilities. At Oak Knoll, 10 classrooms, a gymnasium, science and music and art rooms were added.
Oak
Knoll provides a broad based, high quality education for all its students.
Leadership is provided by the principal through
the Site Council, the faculty, and the PTO. Teachers are integral to the school leadership,
providing evaluation and assistance through Site Council representation, staff meeting attendance, and
direct help and advice to the principal.
The Oak Knoll School
discipline plan was developed by principal and staff, and is based on the premise that the policies
must augment student cooperation and effective growth of self- control. The school handbook
contains the general playground rules. Individual teachers develop classroom standards for their
students. Oak Knoll supports recognition activities which encourage positive student efforts. All
students participate in projects planned by the staff and Student Council
including student leadership teams, peer tutoring, beautification projects,
conflict resolution, and school assemblies. Oak Knoll School participates in
the K-3 State class size reduction program. Kindergarten, first, second, and
third grade classes are at 20-22:1 levels. The 4th and 5th grade classes
average 24-26 students. Each class, K through 3, has a 1 hour classroom aide.
Office hours are Mondays
through Fridays from 7:30am to 4:00pm

Mission
Oak
Knoll School is dedicated to providing a quality educational program for all
students. It is our mission to inspire students
to achieve at high levels and to investigate questions of interest. We must breathe life into the
curriculum. It is our goal to create a school where children are inspired: inspired to learn, inspired
to create, inspired to learn about each other, inspired to change the world, inspired to take risks. We
wish to create a school where learners are continually awed by the wonder and joy of learning.
Oak Knoll is a school where teachers are in love with their children and in love with the process of
education. Oak Knoll values excellence, compassion, cooperation, creativity, love,
determination and joy.
