Oster Newsletter

T'was the Night Before School.....
We're almost there -- the first day of school!
In this newsletter, you'll find a handful (maybe two handfuls) of helpful hints to make the first day of school a successful experience for you and your child.
FIRST DAY DISMISSAL REMINDERS
TK and Kindergarten Dismissal @ 11:25
Grades 1-5 Dismissal @ 1:15
WELCOME BACK COFFEE SOCIAL 8:15-8:45 TOMORROW
After dropping off your child, please join Mrs. Taormina and other families in the cafeteria for an informal coffee social. Join us for a cup of coffee and conversation with old friends, as well as welcoming our new Oster families.
HINTS & REMINDERS
- Send your child with a full water bottle. It is expected to be quite hot tomorrow. Our water filling stations will be available to refill bottles and teachers will encourage students to refill their bottles.
- Walk to school. Traffic always becomes snarled as all of our students make their way through the neighborhood streets to school each day. Take a few minutes to start your morning with a family "walk and talk". If you choose to drive, please allow plenty of time and be kind to our neighbors.
- Be safe. Please do not jaywalk in the middle of the block. Take a few extra minutes to walk to the corner where it is safe and drivers are more alert to student movement.
- Be careful when crossing the street. Unfortunately, the crossing guard company has not been able to fill either of our positions. We hope that they will have someone soon, but for the time being, please be aware that there will not be a crossing guard. If you have a few extra minutes to help some of our unaccompanied students through the intersection, that would be helpful. If you are interested in a paid position (one or more days per week), please contact Gladys Beagle at beagleg@unionsd.org

CAFETERIA MEAL UPDATE
The Food Services staff is excited to share that for the 2022-2023 school year, all meals will continue to be free of charge. Payment for a school breakfast or lunch is not required when a student picks up a meal in the cafeteria, but children will need to enter their student identification numbers. We will help them with that step, but it may slow down the lunch line until everyone becomes familiar with the routine. You will find a menu at the bottom of this newsletter.
