Welcome to Remote Learning at OASD!
We think our parents are superheroes, but we also know you are human, with A LOT on your plates! That's why we designed this website for you.

Teaching and learning remotely is synchronous, which means all learning activities will be taking place with the teacher and student online in Google Meet. Your student, depending on age, simply needs an adult to supervise him or her and provide assistance as needed. Your student's teacher will be live, in the Google Meet Classroom during the entire class period. If you need assistance, feel free to communicate with your child's teacher.
Most students will be able to do any independent activities during the class time without adult help. Of course there are always some exceptions. Parents and students should ask the teacher for help as needed.
Learning remotely is challenging. It is not ideal nor is it how any of us want our students to attend school. Many things can go wrong, but rest assured, the OASD Teachers and Administrators are dedicated to doing our best to design relevant, engaging learning experiences that follow the OASD board approved curriculum. We will continue to evaluate our remote learning plan and make changes as necessary until we are able to return to school in person.
ASK FOR HELP if you need it. We are here for you and for your student(s) to support you however we can during this challenging time.

We want to see our students every day!!
We want to see our students every day!!
Even though students are attending school from home, we still must take attendance and comply with compulsory education laws in PA. Please make sure your student logs into the Google Meet for his/her first class on time each day, and engages and participates throughout the day. K-6 teachers will take daily attendance and 7-12 teachers will take period attendance. If your student is marked absent, it will still generate an automated phone call home. If your student is sick and unable to attend school online, then you must email an excuse note to the building secretary. You can use the links below. Truancy citations can be given for students who have too many unexcused absences.
Homework:
Homework:
Teachers will NOT be giving homework during remote learning. Students are only encouraged to read independently as much as possible. There will be no reading logs to complete, and students should not be assigned independent projects during this time. There may be some exceptions for Honors, AP and Dual Enrollment courses.
Break Time!!
Break Time!!
Teachers will be providing breaks for students, but if your student needs a break, or needs to use the bathroom, please know that is perfectly ok. Just let the teacher know.
After School:
After School:
Because it is a long day in front of a screen, we encourage you and your student to limit screen time as much as possible after school and in the evenings. Try to find outside activities in which to engage when weather permits.
