Math Club is an organized after-school program for our fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students. Students meet once a month to enjoy math activities. They participate in five district-wide Mathletics events each year, in which small teams of students compete in mathematics problem solving. Math Masters, a program developed in partnership with John Diemer School, provides trained parent volunteers to support classroom teachers in working with students on their mastery of math facts. Math Masters has now expanded to Katherine Carpenter and Trailwood Schools.
Volunteers work with students either individually or in small groups outside the classroom.
Musicals are performed by first and sixth grades. Other classes give musical performances to which parents are invited. Sixth grade students volunteer for the safety patrol to ensure that all Oak Park students arrive and leave school in a safe and orderly manner. They serve as role models by teaching younger students safe and respectful practices. In the spring all fifth grade students are invited to join the safety patrol.
