Owatonna Online
August/ September 2023
Message from our Principal
I am so excited to start the 2023-2024 school year! I am so proud of my OO students' hard work last year. We had 100% of seniors enrolled in Owatonna Online graduate last year! With our new partnership with Northfield and Albert Lea, I anticipate even more graduates this year. Please attend our virtual Open House on 8/28/23, 2:00-3:00! This will be a great way to meet your teachers and ask any questions you may have about Owatonna Online.

Crisis Response
Crisis Response
I wanted to include in the newsletter the Crisis Response for Southeast Minnesota. It is important to remember that help is just a phone call away!
The crisis response inspires hope in adults, children, youth, and their families by delivering compassionate, person-centered, recovery-based mental health support during a crisis. Please do not hesitate to use this as a resource.
