Dear OSES Families,
This next week is our last days of school. I hope the days are a combination of continued learning experiences and fun social times. Students are not allowed to bring back packs to school, unless a specific need is shared with you by the teacher(s). Students were encouraged to take home unneeded belongings this week.
Students will be recognized for their academic and social achievements in class. Awards will be distributed by the teacher(s). We look forward to again having our award ceremonies on campus next year, and inviting parents once again. Students who are absent this final week, can get their awards or yearbook (if purchased) during summer hours. The summer hours will be soon.
I appreciate everyone coming together to make our Teacher Appreciation Week a success. The amount of support from all stakeholders was unprecedented.
We look forward to wrapping up the school year and beginning to plan for 2023-2024 shortly thereafter.

This week in Kindergarten the students had a blast watching our caterpillars become butterflies. We got the chance to go outside and watch them fly away. The kiddos also enjoyed getting very wet and playing various games at field day! Only 5 more days until summer and we officially have 1st graders. We are looking forward to a wonderful last week of school filled with lots of fun.
Second grade is wrapping up the year with celebration of growth and learning. On Thursday, the students enjoyed outdoor fun and games during field day. At the end of the week students are taking home all of their items from the year. For the last week of school, students may not bring backpacks. Teachers will appreciate help in the classroom, packing up and cleaning so be sure to reach out to your child’s teacher to see how you can help!
