Going from Face-to-Face to OVLC at Trimester
Dear OASD Families,
The District launched the Ocon Virtual Learning Community (OVLC) at the start of the school year to provide families an alternative option to in-person learning in our school buildings amid the COVID-19 pandemic. When we launched this new program, we planned several transition times throughout the year when students could move from face-to-face learning into the OVLC or vice versa. These transition times align with the semester for high school students and the trimester for intermediate and elementary students.
We are approaching the end of the second trimester and the deadline for intermediate and elementary students to move into the OVLC if they would like. Please review the information below if your student will move from face-to-face learning into the OVLC for the third trimester.
Second Trimester Transition
Students in grades 4K-8 who are currently attending school face-to-face will have the opportunity to move into the OVLC on the first day of the third trimester, Monday, March 1st.
The process to move from face-to-face learning into the OVLC:
● Complete this request form no later than 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 17th.
● Administrators will email the families of students moving into the OVLC the week of February 22nd. This email will have information on:
○ The process for picking up personal belongings at your school building
○ How to return learning materials that will not be needed within the OVLC
○ An introduction to the on-boarding process for all new OVLC students which will occur the week of March 1st
Learning More About the OVLC

Spring Pizza Fundraiser will take place April 9 - 19th!
“In a time when money is so tight for extracurricular programs, it is nice to know that there is a quality fundraiser like Emil’s Pizza. We have never had problems selling Emil’s since pizza is a staple meal of many families. The staff at Emil’s is great to work with, too. The turnaround is quick and convenient, and they take the hassle out of fundraising, which is a bonus for coaches.” – Rob Harms, Head Freshman Football Coach
Emil's flyers will be coming home the week following Spring Break and orders (along with payment) will be due back the week of April 19th. Emil's will then deliver labeled boxes to our school parking lot and families can come and pick them up! More details will be shared over the next few weeks. We hope you'll enjoy this Fundraiser and take this opportunity to stock up your freezers!

We are open the second and third Tuesday of each month from noon until 7 p.m.
We serve the Oconomowoc School District (with or with out kids in school), the Township of Ixonia and we also pick up folks in the Sullivan, Concord area.
We take several precautions for all our workers, volunteers and for those we serve. Masks are required and we only allow one client in the building at a time. Our workers and volunteers fill out cards and sign with COVID when client comes in.
Clients choose their items from the middle of the Pantry and workers gather the items, take them out to the car, unpack them and return the cart to be cleaned and sanitized.
We do ask for an I.D. for all in the home, however NO other info or financial infor or is required. We really want to make sure we are reaching to anyone who needs help and take maintaining anonymity very seriously.
