Otsego High School
2016-2017 Weekly Parent Newsletter (Week One)
From the Desk of Mr. O'Shea
WELCOME BACK STUDENTS!
We are officially back! It was an awesome week and I am so excited to have all the students back. I am very grateful for our 9th graders and proud of the work they did at Freshman Orientation. I really thought It was a great day. Your kids are awesome. I hope that we continue to build an atmosphere that embraces all students and a culture of caring. I would greatly appreciate hearing your feedback from either your child's perspective or yours about how the first week of school went. No matter what grade your child is in, let us know how their first week of school went. First Week of School Feedback
We have a huge weekend on campus starting with our Home Opener Friday Night Football vs. Evergreen. We are also having our "Meet the Teams" night tonight. There will also be a special presentation for Paralympian and 2016 Otsego Graduate AJ Digby in between the 3rd an 4th quarters of the Football Game. I hope to see many of you out there tonight.
Have a great weekend. #GoKnights
