OCS Online Academy Weekly Update
May 16th, 2022
A Message from Ms. Fournier, 2022-2023
Many of you have kindly asked what I will do after OCS Online Academy closes. I am honored to announce that, beginning in August, I will be working as an Assistant Principal at Orange Middle School! I did my administrative internship there, and I am so excited about returning to the Chargers. I am also so excited for each of you as you begin a new chapter of your education, and I cannot wait to see what you accomplish!
Speaking of Next Year...
Join us on Friday, May 20th for a quick meet and greet! Say hi to your fellow classmates and hear a message from your school! Check out this link to see the schedule!

OCS Technology Collection
ALL student devices, chargers, hotspots, calculators and library books will be collected at the end of this year.
While there are no fees for accidental damages to the Chromebooks or iPads, there will be a fee of $383.00 for all Chromebooks, $329.00 for all iPads, and $38.00 for all chargers that are not turned in.
If a hot spot is on your account that hasn't been returned or that has been returned non-operational, you will be charged $150. Hotspot service will be turned off on all non-returned hot spots this summer.
If you have lost or damaged any of your equipment, please let Ms. Erin Bradley (erin.bradley@orange.k12.nc.us) as soon as possible.
- 3rd-8th grade students and high-school students in an EOC course will return their materials on their LAST day of testing. They can also return their siblings' materials.
- Students in grades K-2 or high-schoolers not in an EOC course, and who do not have siblings coming in for testing - We will arrange a drive-through drop-off here at The Welcome Center the week of June 13th.
