These conferences are by invitation only and focus on students who have scored a "1" in one or more academic strands, or students whose teachers believe a parent-teacher meeting would support their ongoing success. Invitations will be sent out soon—please watch for an email or phone call. We encourage you to make every effort to schedule a time so we can partner together for your child's educational success.

REMINDERS TO PARENTS/STUDENTS
Attendance Reminder
Attention parents just a reminder to please call in your student or email tawnya.davies@oshkosh.k12.wi.us if you are getting any type of attendance type phone calls. It is important to call in your student even if they are a few minutes late, as it does count towards their total day count of absences. Your communication is greatly appreciated.
If a student arrives at school 10 or more minutes late, a parent or guardian MUST call to excuse their child or it will be marked as an unexcused absence. The school day ends at 3:37pm. No student should be on school grounds any earlier than 7:45am as there is NO SUPERVISION until 7:45am outside. All students must be off school grounds by 3:50pm each day unless they are participating in after school sports or clubs. If your student is going to be late, absent, or needs to leave early, please call #920.424.0431 ext 2702
Contact Updates
Parents/guardians please contact the office with any phone number & email updates so we can contact you with emergencies or when your child may be ill.
