Dear OPS Families:
Close to dismissal today, a motorcycle officer from Oakley P.D. was on patrol on Live Oak Road when the officer noticed a transient male acting strangely. When the man attempted to enter the parking lot, the officer immediately detained and removed him. There was no danger to students. We would like to thank the Oakley Police for their diligence and speed in apprehending the man. This is a reminder to all of us how important it is to report any suspicious behavior. Please be assured that student safety is always our priority at OPS.
Here's a list of events coming up at OPS for the month of December:
