OASD SCHEDULE CHANGE: No School on March 19
Through a new partnership with Walgreens, we are able to offer an on-site COVID-19 vaccination clinic for OASD staff, Oconomowoc Transport staff, and Aramark staff on Friday, March 19.
In order to provide the space and time to vaccinate such a large group, we will not have school on Friday, March 19. Students will not have in-person or virtual learning on March 19. Staff will have a professional work day with the opportunity to attend the vaccination clinic.
NEW School Schedule Next Week:

PARENT INPUT FORM FOR CLASS PLACEMENT
The spring of the year brings many tasks to a school setting. One of those tasks is to begin to formulate class lists for next year. The process of assigning children to classes is not an easy one. Greenland’s objective is to place each child in a learning environment, which will stimulate your child to the greatest extent possible. To achieve balance, the following factors will be taken into consideration:
*total class size *special needs areas *ratio of boys/girls
*behaviors *overall abilities/talents
If you believe that your son or daughter has special needs or circumstances that require consideration as our staff determines homerooms, we would like to be made aware of that information. Please remember this input will in no way guarantee a specific teacher request but will help us determine the best placement for your child and other students. I would ask that parents refrain from requesting an individual teacher.
If interested, please send the below form completed to school by March 26.
