Next Week
There are no high school classes on Monday and Tuesday but college classes are in session. Friday will be a normal 5th hour day.
OEC Marketing
I sent an email earlier this week about our upcoming marketing campaign for next school year and our upcoming informational webinar on March 19th. Unlike most public schools, we have to recruit our students instead of inheriting them from the district. Our best marketing has always come from our students and families. If you are comfortable, please help get the word out via your social media circles, neighborhood emails or professional groups you may belong to. Below is a "blurb" you can post about the webinar and here is a JPG image and here is a PDF flier for the webinar. Every little bit helps!
"Are you looking for a different high school experience for your student? Oakland Early College gives students the opportunity to earn up to 62 transferable college credits while earning their high school diploma, at no cost to families, and offers an environment that supports and promotes positive connections. Join our Webinar on Tuesday, March 19, at 7 p.m. to learn more! Click here for the webinar link or cut and paste this link into your internet browser: https://wbsd-org.zoom.us/j/89592196605"
OEC Parent Update Meeting
We will have our bimonthly parent meeting via ZOOM on Thursday, Feb 22nd, at 7:00 PM via ZOOM. Please plan to attend to get all the information you need!

College Update
The college winter break is around the corner, Feb 26 - Mar 1. There are no college classes during this week but we do have high school classes. If you are planning a family trip during this college break, please make sure you notify Mrs. Kelley so she can mark your student excused.
For students taking summer courses, the course schedule is released February 23rd and registration begins Mar 4th.
Cedar Point Trip
OEC is going to Cedar Point on May 21st. Permission slips are in the main office and the first 105 students that turn in their permission slip will be allowed to go.
Contact Information Update
If you have new contact information, phone, email, or address, please update this with Mrs. Kelley. You can update your phone number and email address in PowerSchool but if you have moved, you need to speak with Mrs. Kelley to change your address in PowerSchool.
Attendance
Thank you for continuing to call in when your student misses school. Please remember that we cannot excuse absences after 48 hours so make sure you call in the day of the absence or the day after.
Lunch
