To our incredible bus drivers ..... Thank You for being the very first warm smile our students see each morning and the safe hands that deliver them home every afternoon. Navigating early mornings, busy roads, and a bus full of energetic Elementary students takes extraordinary patience, care, and dedication. You do so much more than drive—you set a positive tone for our students' school day and keep our school community moving forward. We are deeply grateful for everything you do to keep our kids safe and cared for! Southern Oaks Elementary APPRECIATES ALL THAT YOU DO! 💙❤️🐎

Our first grade Stallions had a special visit from the McLean County bookmobile this week! 🚐📚 This exciting experience connected perfectly to our learning about "Why books are important?" and how reading helps us learn, imagine, explore, and discover new things. Students had the opportunity to see a REAL bookmobile and hear how the librarian gives people of all kind access to books! We are so excited to continue growing our love of reading—because books can take us anywhere! ❤️📖

Leader in Me Family Survey

Dear Southern Oaks Families,

We are excited to continue implementing Leader in Me, which helps students develop leadership and life skills while building a culture where every child can be a leader.

We are asking families to complete a short, voluntary and anonymous survey (about 12 minutes) to help us identify our school’s strengths and areas for growth. If you have multiple children at SOES, please answer based on your oldest child’s experience.

🔗 Survey: https://www.leaderinme.com/s/southern-oaks-elementary/families
📅 Deadline: October 8, 2026

We hope to hear from one family member from every household. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and help make Southern Oaks even better!
