Our building administrators have worked tirelessly all summer to prepare for an amazing year ahead. This morning, they were right there, greeting students with warm smiles and joining them in the classroom to kick off the day. Thank you, OCSU principals, for your dedication, leadership, and care—you make our schools a welcoming place for every student! 🌟📚

Be on the lookout for first day photos from each school on their individual Facebook pages and websites—you won’t want to miss these special moments! 📸✨

🚍 **Dear OCSU Families** — This summer, our principals have been working with Butler’s Bus Service to create a transportation plan that is safe, efficient, and fair for all students.

We know no plan is perfect, but your input will help us start strong on the first day of school! Please take a few minutes to fill out our short survey. If you have students in more than one school, you can fill it out more than once.

📄 Need a paper copy? Contact your school office.

Thank you for your support!
