Oaks Christian School is committed to fostering the development of an effective organizational system that supports the unique learning needs of its students. By cultivating a sense of organization, students arrive to class better prepared and experience reduced stress levels and enhanced learning efficiency. To assist in developing this essential skill, we recommend using one of two organizational systems based on best practices:

1) A single large binder with designated sections for all classes, OR

2) Two smaller binders, one designated for A-day and the other for B-day.

Please look at the following list of the required supplies for each binder. We encourage students with an existing effective organizational system to continue utilizing the best approach for them.
