6th Grade Outdoor School is COMING!
Our staff is excited to announce the locations for this year's 6th Grade Outdoor School!
Red Hall - Cedar Ridge
Orange Hall - Trickle Creek
Blue Hall - Magruder
Green Hall - Westwind
We encourage all families to visit the NW Outdoor School Science Website. Check out answers to Frequently Asked Questions, preview important forms that you will be filling out (we will send you these forms in a packet, please don't print them out), and learn how to send your children mail while they're at camp!
ODS registration packets (yellow envelope) will be sent home with students within the next two weeks.
A question we have already received:
If we (the family) have plans for a vacation for spring break, and we need to leave school a day or two early, are we able to pick up our student earlier from ODS?
Answer:
Yes. However, the person picking up the student has to be listed in Synergy as a guardian or emergency contact and bring ID.
