Given OSS' commitment to providing resources for engaging experiences, it's important for students to be present and on time. Please communicate with Ms. Sanders (asanders@oursistersschool.org or call/text 774-328-6694) 24 hours in advance if a student is not able to attend a session. Unexcused absences will result in a $10 fee charged to a student's account for each day missed.
