I hope you had a great Veterans Day weekend. Thank you to those of you that were able to attend Coffee with the Principal on Friday, November 3rd. The primary focus was on teen emotions and providing support to connect with your teen at home. Please see Ms. Tan's presentation link below and visit our school website http://oss.sweetwaterschools.org for some of the tools provided to our families. These techniques and suggestions were well received and we look forward to our next visit from Ms. Tan to support our OSS community. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ZhF_jZmEw4nA6bSimekDBLPaIu0QENGiXohsyMVRGPU/edit?usp=sharing
