Parent Teacher Conferences Are Just Around The Corner: Thursday, March 2nd-Friday March 10th
Mark your calendars! Parent-teacher conferences will begin on Thursday, March 2nd and will run through Friday, March 10th. Grades 1st-5th will have early dismissal at 1:15 p.m. Please be sure to inform your child's caretakers of the early dismissal.
While these conferences are not mandatory for all students, it is an important part of their education. If you have concerns regarding your child's progress or the teacher feels they have yet to meet grade level benchmark assessments, this opportunity will be set aside for you to meet with your child's teacher one on one. This is a time to receive information about your child's academic success, social skills, and how they are progressing mid-year. We encourage you to bring any questions or concerns so that they can be addressed sooner rather than later.

Volunteer Opportunities
Oster Yearbook - HELP US CONTINUE THE TRADITION
Oster’s yearbook is produced by Home & School Club and we are looking for volunteers for next year. We know how much students enjoy getting their yearbooks at the end of the school year. We'd love to keep providing this wonderful keepsake for Oster students, but WE NEED YOUR HELP. Our yearbook lead is graduating this year, and there is no one set to take over. Being part of the yearbook team is a very fun way to get involved with the school.
