Hello Oakbrook Families! 

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year! We are excited about the year ahead and hope you are too! We are so excited to see our returning students and to welcome new students into the Custer community. Our students inspire every individual in the building to continue to promote academic growth and long-term success.  We consider families as our partners and encourage attendance and consistency for every student.  

Daily on-time attendance ensures that students have access to learning opportunities, helping them to build a strong foundation in all subjects. Regular attendance fosters a sense of routine, discipline, and responsibility, teaching children the value of punctuality and commitment, which are crucial life skills. It also allows students to actively participate in classroom discussions, engage in collaborative activities, and form relationships with peers, contributing significantly to their social and emotional growth. When students arrive late, it creates a disruption in the classroom and is stressful for your student as they catch up with what they should be doing. 

Our “Meet and Greet” is August 26th from 3:30-4:30pm.    Please bring your school supplies with you so you don’t need to worry about carrying them on the first day. 

The first day of the 2024-25 school year is on August 28th for students in grades 1st-5th.  Kindergarten will have WA Kids Conferences August 28-30 and then start school on September 3rd.   Our kindergarten teachers will be calling parents soon to set up your conference time.  

ABOUT YOUR PRINCIPAL 

It's my privilege to be the principal here. I am starting my 23rd  year in education and this will be my third year at Oakbrook. I absolutely love my job! Our students, families and staff are the best. We work together as a team to make sure every child will grow and thrive. I am also a mother of two, lover of reading, dogs/cats, and enjoying the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I’ve lived in Washington my entire life, but still have many things to see on my “bucket list.”

My door is always open. Please feel to reach out and connect for anything!

In partnership,

Leila Davis
