Mentoring Program
At Oakdale School, we are fortunate to have an amazing team of mentors that help support our students' success. These mentors work to build positive relationships between students, teachers, classmates, and parents. They provide support when a student needs to take a break, coach students on strategies for success, and encourage all students to do their best.
