Thank You
Parents,
Due to inclement weather today, please expect some delays in the dismissal process. This would apply for all forms of dismissal. We truly appreciate your patience to make sure our Eagles get home safely.
Our Eagles had a great first day of school today. It was nice seeing our hallways filled with smiling students . We faced a few challenges at dismissal that included numerous bus changes and new routes from last year. As a reminder please see the link below to verify your bus number and stop, because many of them changed from last year. We had numerous students get on the wrong bus assuming it was the same as last year. Dismissal will gradually get more efficient the next few days. Thank you for your understanding

As students, families, and staff return to campus, please remember that school zones will be active and traffic may be heavier than usual. Allow a little extra travel time as speeds are reduced and car rider lines may extend farther than normal while everyone gets back into their school-year routines.
🚸 Watch for school zone signals
🚌 Be alert for students at bus stops, walking to school, and riding bikes/scooters
🚗 Expect delays near school campuses
❤️ Slow down and help keep our students safe
Parents, please be patient with school transportation. Bus routes may experience delays during the first week or two as students, families, and drivers learn new routines and route adjustments.
Thank you for your patience and for helping us make the first day a safe and successful one for all!
We are so excited to welcome our Eagles back on campus for orientation on Monday, 8/10. See the attached flyer and our Facebook for details.
As a reminder there are 2 separate orientations so please pay attention to the scheduled times. You will need to come to both if there are multiple siblings attending.
DO NOT forget our NEW arrival/dismissal times start on 8/11- Students can arrive on campus at 8:00, with an official start time of 8:30 and dismissal at 3:00. Please plan accordingly
Teachers and bus assignments have been assigned in your FOCUS account.
K & 1st grade parents ONLY will be able to walk their child to class the first 2 days of school. After that it will be prohibited. Thank you for your understanding .We look forward to meeting everyone Monday . Go Eagles 🦅
One of the most important things families can do before the school year begins is make sure they're connected through our two primary family tools: the Focus Parent Portal/ App and the OCSD App.
