ESA information update:

If you received an ESA from the state of Iowa this year, you may have received an email saying the second semester payout is available. There is nothing you need to do for this at this time. OCCS will first need to log in to Odyssey, and submit the remaining tuition balance for each student once all student credits are applied. (This includes spring NICSTO payout, silage pile scholarship, TRIP payout, etc). All that will be completed during the beginning of January. We will communicate to you when the balances have been submitted by OCCS, and it is time for you to log in and approve the remaining total. 

Any balance left in the ESA account will remain in that account for your child, and can be used in upcoming years.

• School year TRIP hours are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 8:00am - 3:30pm. and Wednesday and Friday from 8:00am - 12:00pm.
