Save the Date for the school year kick-off party:
Come enjoy a night of food and games as we kick off the new school year on Saturday, September 9 at the OCCS playground. Stay for our late night "drive-in" movie...G-Force! We'll turn it on when it gets dark (around 8:00) and watch it on the playground!

Food: Pulled Pork sandwich meal (freewill donation)
Games: $10 bracelet gets you games all night!
Food Service Reminders:
A few reminders regarding our food service program. The cost for a student lunch is $3.10 per day. We encourage families to add enough money to your account for at least 1 month's worth of meals for each of your students. If you have 1 student at OCCS, this would be approximately $62 per month ($9.00 for Reduced Cost), or with 3 students, $186 monthly. There is also a possibility of additional charges for your student when taking dessert ($.50), or additional servings on milk ($.45), Fruit/Vegetable ($.25) or main dish ($1.00). Your lunch balance and students account activity can be viewed on JMC using the website or the app. Payments can be made to OCCS Food Service by cash, check or Venmo (please list Food Service in the memo). We are asking for a minimum of $10 per transaction to reduce paperwork. 

We encourage families who qualify to apply for Free or Reduced meals. Title 1 funding is determined by the number of families we have that qualify for these meals. Please find the attached link to apply for Free or Reduced meals.Thank you!
Silage Piles:
We have a lot of silage piles coming up in the next two weeks. Sign up links will be sent out when we have more information.

There will be a ribbon cutting for our newest addition to our school, the Cubs Care/Friday Care room that allows us to provide an all-day, all-week option for parents of Pre-K/Kindergarten students on Friday, September 1 @ 9:30 a.m.
Important: The Society Meeting will be Monday, September 11 at 7pm:
Join us September 11 at 7:00 for our annual society meeting. Get an opportunity to elect board members and hear what is going on at the school, such as a summary of last year, goals for the coming year, budget, staff recognition, and more. See you there.
