DECEMBER 2025
This time of year is always full of activity and excitement at OSS. Our Christmas music concert was outstanding, showcasing the talent and dedication of our students. We are also thrilled to celebrate our women’s flag football team, who brought home a banner, an incredible achievement for our athletes. Basketball season is now underway, and the energy in our building has been fantastic.
As we move into the final weeks before the holiday break, I hope everyone is able to pause, rest, and find moments of calm in what is traditionally a busy season. Please continue to support one another, stay connected, and enjoy the many events and opportunities happening across our school.
Thank you for being an important part of our OSS community. We wish you and your family a joyful, safe, and restorative holiday season.

PARENT COUNCIL
REMINDERS
Important Reminder for Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up:
To ensure the safety of all students and help traffic flow smoothly, we’d like to remind parents and guardians of the following:
Bus lanes are to remain clear until 3:50 PM. Please do not pull into the bus lane prior.
The drop-off and pick-up lane is a continuously moving lane.
For safety, students should always exit the vehicle from the right side.
If your child needs extra time during drop-off, or if you are waiting during pick-up, please use the additional parking areas or the student parking lot. This keeps the main lane clear and helps prevent congestion.
Please note:
Multiple entrances and exits are available before the first bell and after dismissal—use them to help ease traffic.
Visitor stalls are reserved for those entering the school building.
The staff parking lot is reserved for staff only. The area marked with a red "X" is included in staff parking and should never be used. It is a high collision risk due to its proximity to the exit.
Always yield to buses and keep the bus and emergency lanes clear at all times.
We appreciate your continued cooperation in keeping our school safe, efficient, and welcoming for all students and families.
The front doors are locked at 4:00 pm daily. All sports spectators or community use members will need to use the community doors.
Please do not ring the doorbell to get access to the doors.
Visitors Attending Sporting Events during school hours:
Please do not park in the staff parking lot. Our staff access the school at various times throughout the day, and it is important that these spaces remain available for their use.
Textbooks are issued to students at the start of each semester, or school year, and are due on the day of the final exam of the subject being written.
Textbooks not returned will be considered lost and the replacement cost will be added to PowerSchool for payment.
Textbooks returned damaged are subject to full replacement cost.
Notification emails will be sent to the parent/student for any outstanding books or fines.
If a student withdraws from a course, he/she must return the relevant textbook immediately. Textbooks not returned will be subject to the replacement cost.
