This National School of Character is the proud recipient of the Promising Practice, “Trusted Adult Survey.” This practice uses a school-wide survey to assess whether each student at Oak Brook feels that they have at least one trusted adult at school. 💖

Students that are identified are the focus of an intentional plan to support and provide opportunities to build relationships with several adults at the school. 😍

"What a great resource for teachers! My school is currently working on our AI policy, and the recommendations in this eBook will prove helpful. My favorite section is the Additional Resources. A teacher's most valuable commodity is time, and we all love it when someone does the legwork for us and finds just what we need."

This two-time 2024 National School of Character has an inspiring school pledge: “I will be respectful by being kind to myself and others. I will show integrity by making good choices. I will be responsible by doing what is expected of me. I will persevere by trying even when it is hard. I will show service by helping others. Make it a great day or not, the choice is mine.”

The school has developed a close connection to the community, especially their activities to honor those in the military as well as veterans.
