Tipler Middle School Volleyball Spectator Policy

Due to space limitations in the Tipler Middle School gymnasium during volleyball matches, attendance is strictly limited to direct family members and siblings of athletes playing in the game.

• Student Attendance: Students from Tipler and visiting schools may not attend matches unless they have a sibling actively playing in the game or have made prior arrangements with the Tipler Middle School administration.

• Family Attendance: Immediate family members (grandparents/parents/guardians) and siblings of rostered players are welcome to attend and support their athletes.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work to keep our facility safe and comfortable for our student-athletes and their families.

Please follow us on Facebook @ South Park Middle School-Oshkosh

You will find updates, pictures and events taking place with our school and PTN.

Early Intervention Conferences will take place at South Park Middle School on Monday, October 19th, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. These conferences are by invitation only and focus on students who have scored a "1" in one or more academic strands, or students whose teachers believe a parent-teacher meeting would support their ongoing success. Invitations will be sent out soon—please watch for an email or phone call. We encourage you to make every effort to schedule a time so we can partner together for your child's educational success.

Attention parents just a reminder to please call in your student or email tawnya.davies@oshkosh.k12.wi.us if you are getting any type of attendance type phone calls. It is important to call in your student even if they are a few minutes late, as it does count towards their total day count of absences. Your communication is greatly appreciated.

If a student arrives at school 10 or more minutes late, a parent or guardian MUST call to excuse their child or it will be marked as an unexcused absence. The school day ends at 3:37pm. No student should be on school grounds any earlier than 7:45am as there is NO SUPERVISION until 7:45am outside. All students must be off school grounds by 3:50pm each day unless they are participating in after school sports or clubs. If your student is going to be late, absent, or needs to leave early, please call #920.424.0431 ext 2702

Parents/guardians please contact the office with any phone number & email updates so we can contact you with emergencies or when your child may be ill. Remember, students may not use their cells during school hours or they will have them taken away for the day. School Day Schedule bell rings to enter the building at 8:12am. Students must be in their seats by 8:19am.

Our lost and found table is over flowing. Please remind your child if they are missing anything to look there first. Thanks!

The OASD and the Oshkosh Police Department (OPD) are asking parents to be aware of the unsanctioned "Pub Crawl" scheduled for Saturday, October 10. While historically a college event, police officers have noted an increasing number of high school students (ages 15 - 17) attending or gathering nearby, posing significant safety and legal risks.

Please talk with your teenager and review the full safety letter below to learn how you can help keep them safe:
