See you at the Pole

This Wednesday, September 27, at 8:20am, OCCS will be participating in the "See you at the Pole" prayer event outside of school. See you at the pole is a time of prayer when students meet at their school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school and nation to God. It is student organized and student led. Adults are welcome to join and pray also.

Reminder:

During school hours we require all people entering the school to come to the office and sign in with the office staff. Visitors with a scheduled visit to a classroom or a meeting with a teacher will be given a guest pass to wear while you are here.  Parents/Family Members who are bringing a student to school late, or are picking a student up early are asked not to go past the office. Any child needing assistance getting to their classroom will be escorted by a member of the OCCS Staff. Our intention is to reduce extra traffic in the hallways and limit disruptions in the classroom, which is very much appreciated by the teachers. Thank you for your cooperation.

(if less than amount available). Any ESA funds not used for tuition this year will remain in your student’s account for future years.
