Email Sarah if your student or family wants to join the retreat from 8:30-10:30 for next year planning. We need several more students and families to provide feedback and help with planning to make OCEAN be the best it can be for everyone.

We are getting close to the end of the school year. All school chromebooks, hotspots and books need to be returned for the end of the year so that students don't get charged a fine for missing items.

All items can be returned to the OCEAN office between 9am and 1pm on school days. The deadline for returning items in June 16 at 9am.

OCEAN Student of the Week, 5th grader Henry Johnson, was nominated by teacher Judd Farris. Henry has come to class all year and worked incredibly hard. He always comes to class with a positive attitude and perseveres when faced with challenges. He is a kind, creative, thoughtful, and generous student. This month alone, he has stayed focused and poised even when challenges seemed impossible to overcome. He is an exemplary student for all ages.

See what has been happening at OCEAN.

On May 30 from 8:30-10:30am we are holding a planning session for the 23-24 school year. If you would like to join us both students of all ages and families are invited to join us at OCEAN.

If you plan to join us please email Sarah srubenstein@ptschools.org so we can plan for the group size.
