Open House Event - April 12, 5:00-7:00pm
On Tuesday, April 12 we are planning on hosting an Open House at OCCS and we would love for you to invite friends and neighbors to show up as well. There will be a meal, an inspiring planetarium show, activities for all ages, and self-guided tours of the school. The whole community is invited, including current families that attend OCCS. All activities start at 5pm, including $1/slice pizza! Invite your friends and neighbors!

K-4 Musical
Knights! Castles! Princesses! Dragons! Join Princess Pride, Sir Brags-a-lot, and their curious band on an amazing trek to a faraway land. The OCCS K-4th Grades will present the musical, "Happily Forever After" on April 28 at 7:00 pm and on April 29 at 9:30 am in the OCCS gym. Join in as they encounter troubles and temptations on their way to a "Shining Kingdom". Does the dragon hopelessly block their way or is "Happily Forever After" actually not a fairytale?  The kingdom's coffers will need to be replenished so a free will offering will be taken.

Absence and Tardy Information
Lately we have seen an increase in tardy students. Please work with your children to develop a good habit of being to school on time. The last bell is at 8:20 and they need to be in the classroom or they will be marked tardy. You may start to see email notifications come on a daily basis if your child is tardy.

You can check on absences and tardies through JMC. You can access JMC through the school website under 'Parents', 'JMC'. You can also access this information through the JMC app. If you use the JMC app, you will need the Mobile Pin for OCCS which is 0295.
