2020-21 School Calendar Changes - Corrected Dates
At their November 17 regular meeting, the OASD School Board approved a request from the OASD Teaching and Learning and Human Resources teams, to provide two additional professional days for OASD staff this school year. These days will be used for staff to plan and collaborate and will be non-school days for students.
CORRECTED - Non-School Days for All OASD Students:
Tuesday, January 19, 2021
Thursday, February 18, 2021 (mistakenly shared as February 22, last week)
Existing Non-School Days for All OASD Students:
The new non-school days for students align with the staff development days that were included in the original 2020-21 school year calendar:
Monday, January 18, 2021
Friday, February 19, 2021

PARK LAWN PTO
Fundraiser
Based on survey feedback, families felt supporting classroom events like holiday parties and fun days was a priority this year. As a result, we have set a fundraising goal of $1,000. That will allow us to give $200 to each grade level for holiday parties and fun days. Please help us reach this goal by 12/16 by purchasing your gift cards, American Girl Doll, Milwaukee Tools, or Ring Doorbell from us rather than the big box stores. All proceeds go directly to Park Lawn Elementary School. Thank you for your support!

YCARE - Winter Break Camp Registration
Hello there,
School's Out Winter Break Camp Registration paperwork is open and available! So, at this time, if you haven't already, please go on to our website (www.glcymca.org) and sign up for any and all days that you would need care. We are offering care on Monday 12/21, Tuesday 12/22, Wednesday 12/23 and the following week Monday 12/28, Tuesday 12/29 and Wednesday 12/30. You do not need to be a member to register for this program.
If you are unfamiliar with our program, we provide a full day of care on the West End of the YMCA at Pabst Farms from 6:30 am until 6:00 pm. These days are jam packed with fun activities from pool time, to themed arts and crafts and group games, rock wall time and so much more!
We do ask that children have everything they will need for the day packed in a bag/backpack such as: reusable water bottle, close toed shoes, two or more snacks, a lunch, swim suit and towel, and mask.
Here at the YMCA, we practice social distancing and protocols in order to keep all participants as safe as possible. At check in we will be taking temperatures and ensuring participants have everything they will need for the day, and then will be taken to wash hands thoroughly. At pick up, we do ask that parents call ahead (5-10 minutes) to allow staff to gather all of the child's belongings and have their hands washed to expedite this (sometimes) lengthy process.
The cut-off date to add or remove registration for the week of 12/21 is this coming Tuesday (12/15) and for the following week 12/28 will be Tuesday 12/22. This is to confirm that each day is amply staffed and supplies are set. These dates align with our billing departments schedule if you are participating in Y Care.
Early Release and School’s Out policy:
- Registration is complete when registration paperwork has been verified and payment fees are received.
- Register and pre-pay for all dates. Payment is non-refundable and nontransferable unless program is cancelled by the Y. 10% discount for oldest child(ren).
- Reference your child’s school calendar as there are no refunds. Payments are non-refundable and non-transferable unless the program is canceled by the Y.
