The O So Good Update
September 01, 2022
Principally Speaking...Bloomz & Audioboom
I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful summer and are as excited as we are about a new school year. The Osgood School looks awesome and the staff is ready to welcome all of our Osgood Friends. This is our first newsletter of the 2022-2023 school year, I will also be using Bloomz and Audio Boom to send out information throughout the school year. There are many bits of information that we like to share with our families, so please make sure you are checking your emails and Bloomz account. If you have not already signed up for Bloomz and would like to, please join the Osgood Community Class on Bloomz by downloading the "Bloomz" app and clicking on the enter code (TJYVRT).
Below in this newsletter, you will see some photos of how great the building is looking and how lonely the rooms look without our students. I am so excited to know that I will see my first and second-grade students for their first day on Tuesday, Sept. 6th.
Kindergarten students will have their visit with a family member on Sept. 6th during a designated time. The first day for Kindergarten students is Wednesday, Sept. 7th.
Preschool students start on September 12th.
Be well, be happy, and spread happiness,
Lisa M. Farrell
Happenings...
On the first few days of school, we will have teachers outside greeting students and helping students transition into school.
* Dismissal is at 3:30, parents that are picking their student up by car will enter the car pick-up line and wait for a staff member to bring their child out to their car.
* If you are walking to pick up your child you will meet your child by the playground, a staff member will dismiss them to you at the doors through the caf. Please let your child know whether they are a walker or car pick up, this happens at different doors and we do not want to confuse children.
* At the end of the day please do not park your car to come to get your child as a walker, please use the existing system. Walker doors are for children's parents who walk them to school. Car pick-up is for car riders.
* As many of you know, the Osgood Office is always bustling; please make sure that you send in all notices about dismissals or call the office before 2:30 pm. We start getting ready for the end of the day at 3:00; we do not want any children to be confused by last-minute changes; it causes anxiety for students.
* If your child is going to be out for the day, please call the office to let us know.
* We will be serving breakfast to students from 9:10-9:25 each morning.
