Superintendent's Weekly Update - September 11th
The updated district dashboard is below. We have also added this to our website broken out by building. The links are below. We will update the numbers on the website in real-time. I will continue to send out district data out every Friday.
Food Pick up for ONLINE STUDENTS:
Our first food pick up for online students will be Monday, September 21st. The time of the pick up will be from 5 to 6 pm. The location will be the same as the summer pick up. (behind the HS near the football field). We need all signups to be completed by Wednesday, September 16th. We will be providing 10 days worth of breakfast and lunch.

FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH STARTING MONDAY
We received some great news regarding lunches this week. Starting Monday, September 14th, every single student will receive FREE lunch and breakfast! The USDA extended its reimbursement rules until December 31st. Therefore, starting Monday and running through 12/31/20 all students can go through the line and get a breakfast or a lunch for FREE and the USDA will reimburse Otsego for this meal. Students can still bring in money for their account if they would like to buy extra meals or ala carte items. This process remains the same.
The menus are staying the same for the next couple of weeks. I will let you know if and when they change.
Free and Reduced Applications – We still need those who may qualify for free and reduced meals to fill out their yearly application. You can fill this out online at https://www.lunchapplication.com/ This data is used in multiple different areas and it is very important that we have accurate information.
Athletic Attendance: OHSAA sends us emails weekly to let us know they are still coming around to check on stadiums throughout the state. They stress to us that if we are not following the rules, that they can shut us down immediately. Please put a mask on and only sit where the BLOCK O's are located. This is temporary. We can do this!!
Thank you,
Adam Koch

LAST CHANCE FOR MASKS
