PRINCIPAL'S End of the Year Message and Important Information
I want to thank all the parents and students for another great year. While the year was not without COVID challenges, the staff and I were thrilled to spend an entire year with our students in person. Please note that the last day of school is Friday, June 3rd. School is out at 12:15, so please plan to pick up your student accordingly.
CONGRATULATIONS to our fifth graders, who will be moving to middle school next year. Life will be filled with new experiences and changes. Your courage and strength have been an inspiration to us as you persevered through all the challenges these past few years. Please come back to visit us and don't forget...once a cougar, always a cougar. Congratulations, students, and congratulations, parents! Well done!
Thank you to Oster's HSC Board and Oster's School Site Council for being incredible partners with the school. We would not be able to provide our students with all the amazing opportunities if it wasn't for your support, dedication, and love for our school and students.
Lastly, I would like to congratulate the following staff who will be retiring or moving on to new and exciting opportunities:
Mrs. Gorham (2nd Grade), Mrs. Mace ( Office Admin Assistant), Ms. Yoshioka (TK teacher), Ms. Tu (4th Grade), and Mrs. Soyster (RS Teacher). While we are sad to see them leave, we wish them all the best in this new chapter of life. Thank you for making a difference in our students and the Oster community.
No School On Monday: Memorial Day. Enjoy the Long Weekend!
Congratulations to Oster's Girls on the Run who ran their 5k last weekend. Way to go Girls....Go Cougars!

For the 22/23 school year, we need Lunch Duty Supervisors and a Crossing Guard (AM and PM). Please consider offering your support and making a difference for our school community.

Yearbooks will be distributed to those who purchased one during the last week of school within the classrooms. If you're not sure whether you ordered one, please search your email for a receipt from Balfour.
