Welcome Back!
Tomorrow we welcome back all of our STARS, old and new, for another great year at OSE! I can't wait to see all of them back, ready to learn with fresh haircuts, new backpacks, and a positive outlook on what lies ahead for them in the next grade. Everyone plays a part in making this year the best ever for ALL of our students and we couldn't do it without the help and support of YOU! As you read through the items below, please remember that everything we do at OSE is in the best interest of kids and your cooperation is appreciated by modeling the guidelines and procedures we have in place. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at Meet the Teacher tonight to kick off another fabulous year!
Meet the Teacher
Tonight is Meet the Teacher from 5:30 - 6:30. We will be having a small Mix & Mingle event in the cafeteria prior at 4:30. PTA, after school programs, Boy Scouts, etc. will be present to provide information. Come out a little early and check it out!
Class Lists
Class lists are posted on the cafeteria doors rather than the front windows as in the past. This is due to there being roof construction blocking the windows on Friday. Be sure to swing by the cafeteria doors and find your teacher before Meet the Teacher tonight.
Lunch Visitors
In order to allow students to "get in the groove" of their new grade level and the procedures that accompany it, we will not be having lunch visitors the first 2 weeks of school. We look forward to welcoming you starting the week of August 26th.
New Security Vestibule Procedures
New procedures are in place for entry into all schools across LISD. A video explaining these procedures was sent to all parents on August 2nd. If you missed the email, you can click HERE to view the video. As I mentioned in my back-to-school letter, please do not be offended when we ask for your identification, even if we know you. If you do not have an accepted form of identification, you will not be given access to the building. This is the procedure that all schools are following to ensure the safety of our staff and students.
Dismissal
As we all know, dismissal during the first several days of school can be a bit chaotic and take longer than usual. We have students and parents learning the procedures for the first time, most students are picked up the first few days, and not to mention it is going to be in the 100's all week. Please be patient as we help our new STARS learn the ropes and as everyone adjusts to the new exit route around McKamy.
Remember, if you pick up on the cafeteria side, you will now be exiting behind and around the other side of McKamy. There will be staff on duty to point you in the right direction and to avoid any confusion.
Thank You!
Everyone's flexibility and cooperation this first week is appreciated as the renovation finishes up and we start the new year. It is going to be another amazing year of shining bright!
