Principal's Message
If it feels like we are in the smack dab middle of winter, you would be correct, we are. But never fear, our PTO has just the thing to help beat those winter blues - a kid boogie virtual event with DJ Lukewarm from 6:30 - 7:30 on Friday night.
We are excited to start using a new feature, schoolwide announcements, in Seesaw. Last week we sent out our first schoolwide announcement in Seesaw and we will continue to use this as a way to send quick reminders to families. Our most important items will continue to be sent by email or shared in the Paw Print. If you are not connected to your child's seesaw account, please let your child's teacher know.
Finally, during the week of January 25th-29th our school will be revisiting the Wildcat Way to allow students and staff to refresh The Wildcat Way and to be respectful, responsible, and safe. We will end the week with an all-school celebration of new “Silly Walk” signs throughout the school. Grade levels will be able to decide on an area where they can hang a “Silly Walk” sign. Then, anytime the class is walking through that area, they can do a silly walk!
Paws Up,
Mr. Schreiber

4K/5K Registration January 18-29
Registration for children in the Oconomowoc Area School District entering four-year-old and five-year-old kindergarten will be held from January 18-29, 2021.
Parents can register their children between the hours of 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 4:00-6:00 p.m. on January 19. Children currently enrolled in four-year-old kindergarten in the Oconomowoc Area School District are not required to register as they are already enrolled in our District.
New-to-the-district parents with children who will be four-years-old or five-years-old on or before September 1, 2021, will be receiving health, immunization, and school registration forms in the mail. Those forms should be completed and brought to the school the child will be attending on the registration dates and a copy of the child's birth certificate, and proof of residency. State law requires the school to have immunization information on file for all first-time entering students.
Parents with children who will be four-years-old or five-years-old on or before September 1, 2021, but have not received registration information from the District are urged to contact the elementary school where their child will be attending. If you have questions regarding which school your child should attend, please contact Danielle Chaviano (262) 560-2155.
Parents aware of any child who will be four-years-old or five-years-old on or before September 1, 2021, but whose parents have not received a letter, please urge them to register at the elementary school where their child will be attending.
The Oconomowoc Area School District offers a three-year-old screening program available to those children whose parents have concerns about their child's development. Parents can call 262-560-8205 to discuss whether screening is appropriate.
Parents should contact the principal or administrative assistant at the school their child will be attending for more kindergarten registration information. Additional information about the Oconomowoc Area School District enrollment process can be found at www.oasd.org/Enroll.
USDA EXTENDS FREE MEAL PROGRAM
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service has again extended the free student meals program, providing a free breakfast and lunch option for students until June 30, 2021, or until the USDA confirms that funding is no longer available, whichever comes first. As a result, student breakfast and lunch will be free on the days that students are learning at school face-to-face, and the days that students are learning virtually.
Please Check Your Student Fees!
New Illness Updates
We strongly encourage you to monitor your child's health continually. It's important to be mindful of any illness symptoms that your child may have before sending them to school. Please keep you child home if they are ill.
If you need information on how to contact your school attendance line, please visit the Absence Reporting Information page on our website.
If you need help understanding when your child should return to school, please visit the Absence Reporting Information page or the "OASD Health Services Information" drop-down on the OASD Learning Hub page.
Both pages have detailed illness guidelines and a video from OASD Health Services Director, Mrs. Deal.
