OES

Please join us for the first PTO meeting of the school year. We will be brainstorming and planning events for the school year. Our goal is to increase community and have some fun. We hope to have a lot of parents participation this year.

Kindergarten students were treated to an outside picnic lunch. A big thanks to our cooks and teachers for organizing the food and event. One kindergarten student said that it was the best day ever.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will be used for student and teacher incentives and rewards.

As we progress through the school year, it's important to highlight the value of regular school attendance. Being present in class is crucial for:

• Academic Success- Consistent attendance helps students keep up with lessons and avoid gaps in learning.
  
• Skill Development- School fosters essential social skills like teamwork and communication.
  
• Building Good Habits- Regular attendance instills responsibility and a strong work ethic.
  
• Emotional Stability- It creates a sense of belonging and supports emotional well-being.
  

If your child must miss school, please inform us early so we can assist with their learning. Your support in promoting regular attendance is greatly appreciated. The school has 72 hours after an absence to receive a parent note. You can send notes electronically for convenience..
