SNOW much fun!

Our students and staff absolutely rocked our holiday festive week, and we couldn’t be more proud! From cozy pajamas and crazy socks to big smiles, the joy in the building was truly the icing on the cake

We could not imagine a better group of kids to laugh with, celebrate with, and make memories with. They brought the fun, the spirit, and all the festive vibes, and we loved every minute of it.

THANK YOU to our amazing families. Thank you for participating in dress-up days, supporting the fun, and for trusting us with your children and their learning journeys. We are so grateful to be part of their growth and everyday moments.

We held our very first ALL-School Morning Meeting for this year at Menominee!

We came together to connect with one another, review our school expectations, and celebrate student success. The pride, smiles, and positive energy were felt throughout the room—joy was truly present!

We are so proud of our students and grateful for our amazing staff who make moments like this possible.

Thursday, January 29 or Tuesday, February 3 • 3:00-6:30 p.m.

Dear Families,

We value our partnership with you and look forward to connecting during our upcoming parent-teacher conferences. Each family is invited to a 15-minute, one-on-one meeting with your child's teacher to share information and work together to support your child's success.

How to Schedule

Please sign up for your conference time online using the link below:

If you have more than one child, repeat these steps for each teacher. You may wish to allow a 15-minute gap between conferences to move between classrooms. OASD employees: please use a personal (non-OASD) email address when scheduling.

Your insights at home, combined with what we observe at school, will help us create a full picture of your child's strengths and areas for growth.

Thank you for your continued partnership.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support in keeping our students safe during arrival and dismissal times. Your cooperation makes a meaningful difference during the busiest parts of our school day.

We do need your help with keeping our front U driveway safe and clear. As we begin the new year, you will notice orange cones and a smiling staff member positioned on the sidewalk near our front U-drive. Their role will be to welcome students and families and move the cones for cars with handicap placards.

Please note the following parking expectations:

• U-drive parking spaces are open for general guest parking during the school day from 8:00 AM-2:15 PM. This allows families and guests, who need to make a quick stop or attend a meeting, convenient parking access.
• During arrival (7:15-8:00 AM) and dismissal (2:15-3:00 PM), U-drive parking spaces are reserved for vehicles with a handicap placard. This helps ensure a safe and smooth arrival and dismissal for all students and families.

We kindly ask that you share this information with all family members or caregivers who participate in drop-off and pick-up. Thank you again for your continued support in keeping our students and staff safe during the two busiest times of our day. We truly appreciate our Menominee community.
