What is OASIS?
OASIS stands for Opportunities and Supports in School. OASIS offers programming after school and over the summer.
This programming includes a variety of engaging activities aimed to provide a safe place for students to get help with their schoolwork, participate in engaging activities with their peers, and have an opportunity to try new experiences.

Students will engage in unstructured play, an approach advocated by sociologists to foster creativity and cognitive development. In inclement weather, indoor play will be facilitated, providing access to a diverse array of toys and resources. However, outdoor play is preferred, as it allows students to interact with natural environments. In both settings, students will have the autonomy to select and utilize resources according to their individual preferences and interests.

Join Mr. Schultz at Lake View Campus for some riveting learning about argumentation. Have you ever tried it before? Fear not, Mr. Schultz is happy to teach newcomers in grades 6-7.
