Oster Cougar Newsletter
Message from Principal Mrs. Taormina
Hello Oster Families,
Welcome to the new school year. The staff and I are so excited to start the 22/23 school year, and we can't wait to meet all our new students and welcome back our returning students. Today's newsletter is being shared with our veteran families, our new incoming Oster families, and families who are currently on our "Over Enrollment Waiting List." We want to be sure that everyone is receiving updates about the start of the school year. The District Office is reviewing enrollment across all our schools, and families on the waiting list will be notified of enrollment status as soon as possible.
Parents, please visit our school website https://oster.unionsd.org throughout the year for helpful information about important school dates, schedules, and upcoming events. Classroom placement will be sent via email on Monday, August 15, and our office will be open starting Tuesday, August 9, 8:00-3:00.
Important Upcoming Dates:
August 16 Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten Meet and Greet 11:00-12:00 pm.

Oster's New Office Administrative Assistant
Oster's front office has a new face. Please welcome Mrs. Gladys Beagle, Oster's new Front Office Administrative Assistant. Feel free to contact her with any questions you might have between now and the start of school, and she would be happy to assist you. Also, if you are receiving this email and your family has moved and will no longer be attending Oster, please email her at beagleg@unionsd.org. It's critical we have accurate numbers before the first day of school so we can offer any open spots to our families who are being overflowed.
Tuesday, August 16th, 11:00-12:00
Please join the Oster Tk and Kindergarten Teachers on the Oster Playground for a playful meet and greet.
Mark your calendars! Mrs. Taormina will be hosting a Welcome Back Coffee and Q&A for parents on the first day of school, Wednesday, August 17th at 8:15 in the Oster Cafeteria.
