OSSB Panther Fest - Parent Education/Student Carnival
We are excited to share a fun event coming up for all OSSB students and parents on Saturday, March 21, 2020. The OSSB 21st Century Afterschool Club is hosting OSSB Panther Fest, a chance for parents and guardians to learn about services to support their students.
Speakers will include experts from:
- Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities to discuss future employment considerations for students.
- The Wonderful World of Waivers - CEO Gary Tonks from The ARC of Ohio will discuss Ohio's Developmental Disability Waiver system, current advocacy and recent changes affecting individual student needs.
- Universal Vision Technology- learn about low vision technology including handheld devices, wearable eyewear, and ideas on funding.
- Adaptive Living Skills- OSSB teachers leading sessions on student needs in the kitchen and throughout the home.
- STABLE Accounts - general information and success stories about opening and maintaining student savings accounts, without jeopardizing government benefits.
Please join our keynote speaker, OSSB Principal - Mrs. Michelle Wagner, presenting on the Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) for students with visual impairments, and OSSB implementation of the ECC this school year.
Students currently attending kindergarten through 12th grade, and their school-age siblings (kindergarten+) are invited to attend the carnival while parents/guardians participate in informative breakout sessions. Activities for students will include crafts, games, a special visit from the Columbus Zoo (including animals!), and a bounce house.
Lunch is included for all!
Please make plans to join with other OSSB families, 21st Century Community Learning Center, OSSB staff and Community guests for a day of parent education, networking and fun!
