Our school is participating in the Summer Study Island Contest!
Our school is participating in Edmentum’s Study Island Academic sprints questions contest this summer. You can help your student fight summer learning loss while they compete with other Study Island users for some great prizes!
• The contest runs from June 4, 2018 – Aug. 17, 2018
• Encourage your students to work in Study Island consistently throughout the summer, answering as many questions correctly as possible while maintaining a 60% correct average.
Your child has a chance to win a Kindle Fire HD8 tablet for themselves and a $150 pizza party for their school for getting the most questions correct or by being randomly selecting from students who answer at least 20 questions correctly per week throughout the contest.
Ready, Set, Learn!
Kindergarteners are invited to join us at our Annual Kindergarten Boot Camp that will take place from July 30th through August 1st.
Students will have an opportunity to meet their teachers, become familiar with their new school, and make new friends before their official first day of school.
Camp hours will be 8:00am - 12:00pm. Participants are welcome to attend one or all three days.
Placement Tests for New Students (Grades 1st-5th)
New OSCS students in grades 1st-5th will be invited to participate in placement tests. Placement tests will be administered to determine the academic or skill level of new students in order to place them in their ideal learning environment. (Students will only need to attend one of the test days)
Placement Tests will be administered during the following days:
- Friday, June 22nd
- Saturday, June 23rd

Invitation emails will be sent to all new families soon.
AR Reading Challenge!
What is the Summer Reading Challenge?
A summer goal has been assigned to all current OSCS students.
Students meeting their AR goal by July 31st, will be entered into the Summer Challenge Drawing for a chance to win some cool prizes. (Drawings will take place during the first week of school) All you need to do is read and take AR quizzes using your AR account.
The Renaissance (AR) website will be used to take AR tests and to keep track of your reading all year round.
