Oasis Elementary School

New School Year, NEW traffic pattern.

We will now have busses to support our ARISE families. This will create a shift in our traffic pattern on 78th.

-Student drop-off will begin at the crosswalk on 78th and Windrose. Students will enter/exit their vehicles and walk through the park gate to or from school.
-The lane north of the crosswalk on 78th and Windrose to the edge of the basketball court (previous drop-off/pick-up lane) will now be parking.
-The lane starting at the edge of building 5 towards the Kindergarten playground is now the bus lane. This area is a no parking zone. We are working with the city to finish blacking out the remaining stripes.

Meet the Teacher is tonight! We are excited to see everyone this evening!

Tomorrow, July 31, Peoria Unified will be closed as all staff are on a furlough day. During a furlough day, all district schools and worksites are closed to the public, employees do not work and are not paid.

Last November, the community did not approve the override funding for our schools, resulting in a loss of approximately $11 million from this year's operating budget, or our maintenance and operations fund. This, coupled with declining enrollment has caused the district to cut a total of $21 million from our current budget. One way the budget shortfall will be addressed is with three furlough days this school year: July 31, February 12 and May 12. These furlough days will result in an average pay decrease of 1.5 to 1.7% for all staff members.

All school and district offices will reopen for normal hours on Monday, Aug. 3, 2026, for the first day of school.
