What is Happening at OAC

The 2024-2025 OAC Calendar is currently in the final stages of development. The calendar has been developed in cooperation with parents, staff and OAC/OAISD leadership. Thank you to all who completed the calendar survey, we appreciate all of your input.
During this final stage of development, OAC leadership team in conjunction with OAISD Leadership and Young Adult Services are working to align program goals and professional development. Once the calendar is in a final draft and moving on for board approval, we will email it directly to parents and guardians and send it home in backpacks. We appreciate your patience as we work through this process.
