The OCHS Principal's Update

April 2024

The OCHSPrincipal's UpdateApril 2024

A Message From Mrs. Burton

April is a busy time for OCHS! Spring sports have officially kicked off, the musical cast and crew are getting ready to perform, and spring testing starts with the sophomore Pre-ACT on Wednesday, March 27th. One thing that we pride ourselves on at OCHS is the ability of students to be involved in multiple activities in order to have a well rounded student experience. This can mean busy nights for families as parents rush from work to the stands to support their child.

All student events are listed on the Oakland-Craig Public Schools Google calendar or the R-School Calendar. Buttons to access this online, as well as a video explaining how to link calendars, are also available on the district website. If you have any questions, I would also encourage you to call the office to speak with myself or Mr. Selk. We are happy to answer any questions that may come up, especially with changes in weather.

Thank you, in advance, for your help getting your child a good night of sleep and breakfast the days of testing to do their very best! Our teachers are continuing to provide test prep opportunities for each 7th-11th grade student as they prepare to close out their school year well. If you have any questions about testing for your child, I would be happy to answer your questions.
