Elementary School Yearbook
OAS Grades 3-5 have their own yearbook and we can’t make a good yearbook without your pictures!

What’s BYOT?
BYOT stands for “Bring Your Own Technology” and it’s the latest trend that schools across the world are implementing! Students are given the option to bring in their own device (non-gaming, non-phone). Tablets, laptops, etc… are acceptable. The devices simply need to be WiFi ready and they can connect to the school’s internet, which comes with content controls built in. OAS recently announced their BYOT Program, which is OPTIONAL for Middle School Students (6th, 7th, and 8th graders only). Visit the districts BYOT page for all the details: http://cranfordschools.org/new/orange-avenue-school-byod/
