Important School Closure Update
Governor’s School Closure Mandate
Per the statewide school closure mandated by the Governor, all schools are shut down effective 3/18. In order to follow this mandate, we are requiring that any students who need to pick up materials do so by 3/18. Additionally, we are asking that there are no small group meetings with students take place on site effective immediately. The front vestibule will be unlocked for a pick-up during regular school hours, but all other doors will remain closed and locked. The Governor will indicate when it is safe to return to school. Thank you for your understanding and support.
NOSD Community Support Team
While this is an unprecedented time in our country, our District wants to provide support to students, staff, and our greater community. With this in mind, our District has put in place the “NOSD Community Support Team”. This team will be serving in a variety of ways to help address the needs in our community. With the use of school vans we have the ability to be able to deliver needed supplies and educational materials for our students, provide food pantry items, and facilitate deliveries to our senior citizens or families in need. Families can call any of our school offices and reference the “NOSD Community Support Team” or send an email to the address below:
supportingourcommunity@nosd.edu
During challenging times, it is awesome to see our community work together to support those in need. We will continue to provide proactive communication and regular updates in the days and weeks ahead.

Learning Continues:
NOSD is looking at this event as an opportunity to emphasize that learning happens anytime, anywhere. We are leveraging technology creatively and working with online tools. NOSD teachers are working to provide online learning opportunities. In addition, activity bags for younger students in OES 4K- 2nd Grade are available in the OES enclosed front lobby area.
**A second set of learning activity bags - tentatively grades EC-2nd students - will be available starting Tuesday, March 31 at 7 am - more specific details to follow prior to Tuesday**
OMS and OHS staff are working with chromebook tools and Google classroom to set up opportunities to learn for all students. All classes should be accepted by the students. If they have not accepted a course or engaged in learning, families will be contacted by staff. Some staff have books and additional resources for OMS/OHS students in the enclosed front entry of each school.
