Vereran's Day Parade on November 12th

Hello NOSD Staff and Families:

On Thursday, November 12th Divine Savior Catholic School (DSCS) has planned a parade and program to honor our veterans. The parade is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. at Waubedonia Park. As part of this parade, veterans will be coming through the parking lot loop here at the Northern Ozaukee School District and our students and staff will be cheering them on as we thank them for their service. This event has been an excellent tradition here at NOSD over the last several years and a great opportunity to honor our veterans.

If you are a veteran or know of a veteran in our community, please extend this invitation to join us on November 12th. Please click on the link below to find the detailed information provided by DSCS along with information to RSVP. Thank you to our veterans for your service and sacrifice!

Sincerely,

David Karrels
Superintendent of Schools
Northern Ozaukee School District

Parents - We'd Love Your Help!

NOSD Scholarship Foundation

Our Scholarship Foundation is beginning plans for our 2027 Scholarship Concert on April 17, and we would love to have more parents from our school community involved.

The concert is an important community tradition—and the funds raised

help provide scholarships for our students.

We are looking for parents who would like to join our Event Committee and help with planning, promotion, and the day-of event. You don't need event-planning experience, and you don't have to take on a big commitment. The committee meets approximately once a month from October through April, with additional involvement as the event gets closer. There are many ways to help, whether you can contribute a little or a lot.

Come See What It's All About

Our first committee meeting is October 19, 2026.

6:00pm • Innovation Room - Ozaukee High School

Come meet our scholarship event committee, hear what's being planned, and find a way to be involved that works for you. There's no commitment required just to come to the meeting.

We hope you'll consider joining us—and helping make a difference for our students!

Email Alerts for PM Bus Routes

In the event busses are running behind on the PM route--

OES will email parents/guardians when busses depart from the NOSD campus after 4 pm

(Wednesdays after 3:10).

Bus Information

*Instructions & reminders from the bus company:

**Be on time for bus pick-up...buses are running a tight schedule. If your child misses the bus, the bus must complete its run and drop-off all other students at school. Call the bus company at 262-375-3102 and they will advise you if a bus is able to come back for your child or if you need to provide transportation. If this happens frequently, you will be contacted by the bus company.
**There will not be bus passes issued for students to ride another route or get dropped off at another stop.

All of these instructions help to keep our students safe and help the buses to run efficiently

OES Pick Up & Drop Off Procedures

**If your child is not able to independently get into or out of your vehicle at drop-off or pick-up, you are expected to park in the lot and walk your child across the sidewalk in front of school.**

Arrival Procedures:

The front curbside drop-off & parking lot area are used for OES students.

Students can begin to arrive (walking, biking, or drop-off) at 8:20am. Outdoor Supervision by staff begins at 8:25 AM when the OES doors are opened. Vehicles should not be lined up prior to that time. Follow directions on posted signs. Please do not arrive early!

Cars stay to the right of the approach/drop-off lane and pull forward to the elementary parking lot area near the sign that says "Student Drop".

Students need to be ready before they exit the vehicle: coat on, backpack closed & ready to exit vehicle
Students exit on right side of vehicle curbside (not into traffic on the left side). *Please move car seat/booster seat to the right side of vehicle if possible.

Cars pull up tight to the curb along the side of OES for dropping off students (and also picking up in PM). This allows for easy exit for student and for safety of passing cars in left lane.

Only the student should be exiting the car (unless needing assistance out of a car seat buckle or harness) to allow for quicker departure.

OES Staff will be positioned outside to assist & direct students.

Car students use the sidewalk leading directly to the OES doors

Any car students who will be having school breakfast proceed to the OHS Cafeteria doors.

**Watch for other cars as you pull away from the curb to exit and travel in the left lane.

All students enter the building starting at 8:25 AM.

Dismissal Procedures:

Please do not arrive early! Supervision & student pick-up time begins at 3:40 PM. *Wednesday Early Release Dismissal is at 2:50 PM. Vehicles should not be lined up prior to that time.

Students waiting for car pick-up are lined up under the canopy outside between the OES and OMS doors. OES Staff on duty is equipped with walkie-talkies.

As cars pull up in the pick-up lane, the staff members see the family name sign (see info below in the next section) displayed in the window. They call the family name and the student/s come out quickly and get into their car.
Watch for other cars as you pull away from the curb to exit and travel in the left lane.

**If you decide to park for arrival or dismissal, use the parking lot area in front of OES & OMS. You need to park your vehicle and use the crosswalk to drop-off or pick-up your student/s from the sidewalk area in front of the elementary school.

Please use caution & be alert as you enter to park your vehicle & follow the flow of traffic as you exit the parking lot.**

The small parking lot at the front of school is reserved for visitors with a handicapped parking permit and/or other medical needs.

Students who ride bikes to/from school are highly encouraged to wear bike helmets for safety. The helmets can be left on the handlebar or brought into school and kept by their coathook. Students are to follow the sidewalk around the parking lot. They walk their bike on the sidewalk areas right in front of OES/OMS for their safety and that of others in the area.

District Issued Pick Up Passes for Parking Lot Dismissal

All families will be given 2 copies of a district-issued pick up pass. If you choose to pick up your child(ren) from school, families will show the pass upon arrival and your child(ren) will be released to your car.

Holding up your pick-up pass for the staff member calling cars is helpful in keeping the line moving efficiently.

Watch for these passes to come home with one of your children!

Early Pick Up & Drop Off Procedures

Please notify us if your child will be arriving to school late or you are picking up early.

You may come in our lobby and sign your child in. If your child is old enough to get in the doors by themselves, notify us the same way and we can help them sign in.

If you are picking up early - you can sign your child out in the lobby. We can make sure your child is here waiting or call for them if need be. Please remember to park in the parking lot and come into the OES Lobby. Please do not park in the drop-off zone in front of school.
