These priorities are achieved by providing expertise, leadership, and professional development to optimize the academic, social-emotional, physical, and behavioral development of all students within an integrated multi-tiered system of support that meets the needs of the full range of learners in the district, creating optimal conditions for students to receive high-quality instruction through the partnership with educators. OSS is committed to promoting student success and well-being by teaching students skills that will help them to be successful in school as well as in life.
