October Is National Bullying Prevention Month:
Osgood is committed to being a respectful, responsible, and safe community every day, and October gives us a chance to set an important tone for the whole year. As a show of that commitment, we'll participate in Unity Day alongside Deer Hill on October 22nd. This is a day when we can come together to send a visible message of building commUNITY through kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. We encourage everyone to wear orange on this day!
Trunk-or-Treat
It’s that time of year again... pumpkins, costumes, and LOTS of fun! We’re thrilled to invite you to the annual Osgood Fall Festival Trunk or Treat - happening right in the Osgood parking lot on Friday, October 24th from 4:30–5:30pm (rain date October 25).
This spook-tacular event is one of our favorite fall traditions, and we can’t wait to see our community come together for another year of festive fun! 🎃🍂👻
We’re looking for 21 awesome "Trunk Hosts" to help make the magic happen! Want to decorate your car, dress up, and hand out goodies to adorable trick-or-treaters? Sign up HERE!
✨ What you’ll need to bring as a Trunk Host:
A fun and festive trunk display (get creative!)
300-400 non-food trinkets to hand out (This is an allergen-friendly event - think stickers, glow sticks, bubbles, etc.)
💡 Want to host a trunk but can’t provide trinkets? No problem - just let us know and we’ll work it out!
Questions? Ideas? Costume inspiration? We’d love to hear from you - shoot us an email at osgood@cohassetpso.org.
Let’s make this year’s Trunk or Treat the best one yet! 🎉
Please leave toys at home
This includes the tiny resin animals collections that have become so popular, Pokemon cards, etc. Toys often become disruptive at school, from losing them, to trading them, to using them during instructional time. Students are not supposed to have them on buses either, so best to leave them at home, please.
Of course, there are times that teachers will allow stuffies as part of a pajama day or the like...so look out for those opportunities!
Just a Reminder- Dogs are not allowed on campus
For the safety of our children and staff, dogs are not allowed on campus, including during drop-off and pick-up. If your family has a service dog, please have them wear the appropriate identification.

What Expertise Can YOU Offer Our Students?
Cohasset is a community comprised of experts in a wide variety of fields. In order to deliver more authentic, hands-on, project-based learning experiences to students, the Cohasset School Committee, in collaboration with district leadership, is working to develop a "Community Resource Guide." This Guide will serve as an invaluable resource to our classroom teachers and school staff, as it will provide them with a comprehensive database of all stakeholders and interested parties who are willing to share their background, experience, and expertise in furtherance of our mission to Empower Students to Improve Communities.
There are many different ways in which one might participate in this endeavor, including classroom presentations, hosting or facilitating field trips, creating shadow or internship opportunities, or assisting with project-based learning experiences.
If you are willing to share your unique talents, passions, interests, and/or expertise, please click this link to fill out a brief interest form. We thank you for your willingness to volunteer your time in order to deliver impactful learning experiences to CPS students.
Onward and Upward,
Your School Committee
