March is here! Springs right around the corner! Time to start looking for that summer job! Use the Greater Egg Job to help with you search!
Oakcrest HS will be open tomorrow, Thursday February 26th, at the normal time. Zero Period will begin promptly at 7:40 am. Tomorrow is an A Day.
Thank you for your patience and allowing the crews from Hamilton Township and AC Electric the time they needed to restore power to our building. Thank you to our Building and Grounds staff for all of their efforts to get Oakcrest's parking lots, walkways, and classrooms ready for school.
We will reach out next week with information regarding these makeup days and an updated calendar. See you tomorrow morning!
Go FALCONS!
Good afternoon -
Oakcrest high School will be closed on Wednesday, February 25 due to a lack of electricity. If you hear Absegami and Cedar Creek are open, that is accurate, but Oakcrest cannot properly function without full electric, and there are also downed lines / poles in the area that could impact student and staff safety. We have communicated with both local law Enforcement and AC Electric prior to this decision.
We will assess this situation daily, and update the Oakcrest community every day by 4pm. We will share information regarding adjustments to the school calendar next week, when we can look fully at the number of days we will have lost.
We are offering free lunches (cold, to go lunch, including a drink) from 11am-1pm to ALL of our students; students must bring their ID with them and enter the building through the main entrance, under the blue awning. Security will be on hand to allow entrance and monitor. NO individuals will be permitted without their Oakcrest ID.
Thank you


Superintendent James Reina, senior Kaitlyn Ho, and Assistant Principal Margaret Csaszar joined forces to participate and have now passed the challenge to leaders at Absegami and Cedar Creek.
Check out the video to see our staff and students in action as they work to "sprinkle some kindness" across the entire Greater Egg Harbor Regional community.

Good Afternoon -
Round two of our messaging to you starts with this newsletter, with the Principals to follow-up in the beginning of March with their own. If you missed my first newsletter in October, the link is below. There was also a Principal's newsletter (unique to each building) in November.
We have tried something new with this newsletter...there is an audio-link right near the top if you would prefer to hear the information (not my voice, much more pleasant!).
Thank you for your continual involvement in our school communities.
James Reina - Superintendent
