Oster's Open House and Steam Fair is tonight! From 6:00-6:45 pm, parents will have an opportunity to visit their child’s classroom(s).

Immediately following classroom visits (6:45-7:45pm), parents and students are encouraged to stay and participate in STEAM actives.

Bidding for the online portion of the Silent Auction is NOW OPEN (through the long weekend)! The in-person fun starts today at 5:30 and closes out at 8pm!

Don't miss your chance to bid on these great items including summer activities/camps for kids, fun day/evenings out for grown-ups, great end-of-the-year gifts for teachers and even a chance to put your students' name in lights! And, check back often on the status of your bids AND for new items! Click here to start bidding!

Home & School Club volunteers have been hard at work rounding up some great items, so bring your checkbooks (or, credit cards, cash, ApplePay, you get the idea…) because all proceeds support activities, programs and enrichment for our students, families, teachers & staff!

In addition to donated items, this year includes favorites like front row seats to the First Grade Opera, prime seating for Fifth Grade Promotion, parking spot(s!!), birthday wishes on the Oster electronic marquee, teacher experiences and MORE!!!

Let the bidding begin.

This time of year we have the opportunity to honor some special people who have exemplified Oster Pride! These individuals are representative of all of our community. They have stood out this year and are being recognized for their ongoing support of our students and teachers this year! It truly takes a village for our community to shine! We are forever grateful to the teachers, staff, and parents that make Oster such a wonderful place to learn and work.

In celebration of Oster's Distinguished School Award, we will be hosting a family picnic day where parents are welcome to join their student during lunch on Friday, May 26th, from 12:00-12:50 (TK-5th). Parents are encouraged to bring a blanket or chair, pack a lunch, and play with your students.

Because safety remains a priority, all visitors (grandparents included) planning to attend the picnic must check into our office through our Visitor Management System. We expect quite a crowd, so pre-registering is highly recommended.

To pre-register, individuals can stop by the office to be cleared in our visitor management system and pick up a badge. This can be done as early as the week before the event, starting May 18th through May 25th (8:30-4:00). By pre-registering into our Visitor Management System, you will expedite your entrance on the day of the event by showing us your badge and driver's license.

If you cannot pre-register, we ask that you give yourself plenty of time the day of the event as the line can get long, and the process takes several minutes per person. We appreciate your patience in advance and we hope you can join us.

There are only a few copies of the Oster Yearbook left to order. If you haven’t purchased your yearbook yet, now is the time. All orders need to be placed directly through Balfour at: http://bit.ly/OsterYB
