This year, the Lions Club of Wildwood is offering vision screenings for all students at OCIS. In order for your child to be screened, we must have a completed permission slip on file. Paper versions of the form were sent home with students or you can find a copy at the link below. Please complete and submit to the nurse's office by Monday, February 3rd. If we do not receive a permission slip, your child will not be screened by the Lions Club.

OCIS is scheduled for the Lions Club to conduct vision screenings on February 12th and 13th during the school day.

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 this email does not excuse your child from school. For the absence to be coded as an absence not counting towards truancy, 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.
