Welcome Back from the Superintendent

Dear Oak Park Schools Families,

Happy New Year and welcome back! I hope this message finds you well and that you had a relaxing and joyful winter break. As we begin this new year together, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for your continued support and dedication to Oak Park Schools. It is an honor to work alongside our educators, families, and community to positively impact the lives of every student. With great Oak Park Pride, I remain committed to serving as a positive light for our district and community.

Creating a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment for our students remains our highest priority. We are dedicated to supporting their well-being and academic growth, equipping them with the tools and opportunities they need to thrive. Achieving this requires teamwork, and I encourage you to actively collaborate with us.

There are many ways for parents and community members to get involved, such as attending school and community events, joining committees, volunteering their time and skills, sharing feedback, or supporting fundraising efforts whenever possible. Staying informed through newsletters, social media, and our district website is another great way to remain engaged and connected to our shared mission.

As we resume classes, we also look ahead to the second semester, which begins in just a few weeks. This marks an important milestone—the halfway point of the school year. It is critical that students remain focused, work hard, and strive to earn passing grades and credits toward graduation. Academics continue to be a top priority in Oak Park, and our dedicated teachers are here to guide students in developing the skills they need to succeed.

I am proud to serve as your Superintendent and deeply honored by the trust you place in Oak Park Schools to educate and inspire your children. Together, let’s make 2025 a year of growth, opportunity, and achievement for every student.

Thank you for choosing Oak Park Schools. Wishing you and your family a wonderful and successful new year!

Warm regards,

Angel Abdulahad
Superintendent
