To our returning students, we look forward to welcoming you back in September. And to our 8th grade students and families, we wish you all the best as you embark on this next chapter. You’ll always be part of the OCIS family, and we can't wait to see all the great things your future holds.

As we enter warmer weather in the upcoming weeks, parents & guardians are asked to review the student dress code with their child.


At OCIS , we encourage students to express their individuality and personal style. At the same time, we ask that all clothing choices reflect the standards of a respectful and focused learning environment. Appropriate school attire helps us maintain a positive atmosphere where all students feel comfortable and ready to learn. Thank you for your continued support in upholding these expectations.

Footwear Reminder for Outdoor Activities and Field Trips
With warmer weather approaching and a number of outdoor activities and field trips planned, please ensure that your child wears appropriate footwear for these events. While Crocs, slides, and flip-flops may be comfortable, they can pose safety concerns during physical activity or extended periods of walking. Proper footwear helps us keep students safe and comfortable during these various events. Thank you for your attention to this important matter and for helping us prevent avoidable injuries.


Students are also reminded that cell phones (including wireless headphones) must be turned off and placed in student lockers or bookbags throughout the day.

Attendance Reminders - OCIS Attendance Reminders - OCIS

To report a student absence:

  • Email: OCISattendance@ocsdnj.org
  • Please state student's name, grade, homeroom teacher, and reason for the absence


Please note that an email or parent note does not excuse your child from school. For the absence to be coded as an absence not counting towards truancy (verified), a doctor's note or other proper documentation as outlined in the district attendance policy must be submitted to the main office when your child returns to school.


Please Review the School District Attendance Policy by clicking here for additional information on state requirements regarding absences and student attendance.


Tardy / Late To School

Students receive two free unexcused lates per marking period (arriving after 7:45am). Any additional unexcused late arrivals will result in a detention being issued as outlined in the OCIS student code of conduct. Students arriving with a doctors note will be marked as an excused late arrival.
