Welcome to Oak Park High School

Dear Oak Park High School Community, 

We are thrilled to welcome students and families back for the second semester! As we move into the second half of the school year, we remain committed to providing rigorous and engaging learning experiences in our classrooms. Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students continues to be our top priority, and we have implemented measures to maintain a healthy environment. Thank you for your ongoing support, we look forward to a great semester ahead!

DROP OFF / PICK UP: 
All students will be dropped off in the student-visitor parking lot. Drivers will enter through gate 1 and follow the traffic cones to the student drop-off lane, once the student is dropped off the driver will exit gate 2.   

Parents and family members picking up students, please be advised that there is no parking on Oak Park Blvd from the student parking lot driveway up to the exit of the circular drive. The circular drive is for emergency vehicles only.

ENTERING THE BUILDING: 
All students and visitors will enter the building through the student entrance, DOOR 28. Students must have a school-issued photo ID to enter the building. Once the student shows ID they will move to the next door where they will pass through metal detectors and have their bag checked. Next, the student will go into the cafeteria for breakfast and be released from the cafeteria at 7:55 a.m. 

DRESS CODE UPDATES: 
Students may not wear the following: 

• Hats 
• Full face masks (including gaiter masks) 
• Sunglasses 
• Hoodies on their heads 
• Any top that shows a bare midriff (e.g., no crop tops, bralettes or sheer/lace tops) 
• Excessively ripped or torn clothing.  No cut-off shorts.  No holes above the mid-thigh area. 
• Clothing with obscene language, sexual innuendo, or references to drugs or alcohol.  Clothing that harasses or defames individuals or groups of people. 

The wonderful OPHS staff and I feel privileged to be a part of this school family. We thank you for your support and look forward to an excellent school year!
