You didn’t just win the November Attendance Challenge…

you out-lasted the Sophomores, out-showed the Juniors, and crushed the Seniors! 🏆😄

Thank you for showing up and staying focused. To keep that energy going you will be rewarded with a treat in homeroom on Monday.

Way to go, Class of 2029!

Don’t worry, upperclassmen…
December is a brand-new game, now it’s your turn to rise to the challenge.

Let’s see who shows up, and takes the title next month!

The ONHS Band Program was unable to showcase their 2025 Holiday Parade Music due to the Oshkosh Holiday Parade’s cancellation, but that didn’t stop us from coming together to perform the music one more time. Here is a recording of what we would have performed at the 2025 Oshkosh Holiday Parade.
Congratulations to all ONHS Band Students for preparing this music! Great job!

School Choice/OOA Applications to Attend Another School IN the Oshkosh District

Given our school options, we're transparent that few school choice / out-of-attendance area (OOA) requests will be approved. Requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may be denied due to capacity constraints, even if the requested school has open seats. This is to maintain our formula-based staffing model and to ensure financial responsibility.

• The School Choice/OOA request process for enrolled students for the upcoming school year is open as follows. Please note: The High School timeline has changed due to student scheduling.

• High School - December 1 - January 12

• Middle School - April 1 - August 1

• Elementary School - April 1 - August 1

• Application Review

• High School - February

• Middle School - Mid-August

• Elementary School - Mid-August

• Families with a current approved School Choice/OOA do NOT need to reapply UNLESS:

• Their child is moving to a new school level (e.g., elementary to middle school)

• To make a School Choice/OOA request, the student must already be enrolled in the Oshkosh School District.

• If the student will be new to the district in the upcoming year, they cannot submit a School Choice/OOA request until the general enrollment period opens on April 1.

• Only parents/guardians who have approved guardianship of a student in Infinite Campus are able to submit a School Choice/OOA request.

• If approved, the responsibility for transporting the student to and from the out-of-attendance area school rests entirely with the parent/guardian of a student under 18, or the student if aged 18 and over.

• Priority is given to requests involving siblings at the desired school and students with specialized needs that can't be met at their home school.

• Applications will only be denied if there is insufficient capacity at the requested school, if the student's special education needs cannot be accommodated, or if there are attendance concerns.

• High School students must sign an attendance contract at the approved school.

• Approval of a School Choice/OOA request is only guaranteed for one year, and continuation of the approval is reviewed each year and may be denied based on the upcoming year’s actual enrollment.

To make a request to attend an out-of-attendance area school (a school different than the student’s designated home school), please follow the instructions below.

1. Log in to Infinite Campus

To begin the process, log in to your Infinite Campus Parent Portal account. You can access Infinite Campus through the school district's website or by visiting oshkoshwi.infinitecampus.org/campus/portal/oshkosh.jsp
