Although masks are not a requirement for students, please help us to keep all Dragons safe by having your student wear a mask when on campus. As always, thank you for your continued support.

It is very important for students to return to school daily if they are not experiencing any illness or symptoms. We are seeing a decline in COVID-19 cases after the recent surge in the community. We have learned from the pandemic that the vast majority of children benefit academically from face-to-face instruction, so we are asking parents to please have their child return to school and attend every day. We want to ensure their academic progress for the second semester.
Along with their academic health, your child’s physical health is important to us. We require all adults on campus to wear facemasks currently, and encourage facemasks for our students. Our cleaning and disinfecting procedures remain the same as last year. You can review all procedures in our Health and Safety Manual posted on the front page of ocps.net.
