A Message From Mrs. Bender
To kick off Wellness Week at OIS (the week of February 8 - 11), we will be viewing the movie, Wreck It Ralph. There are many life lessons to be learned from this famous Disney production. From friendship, not judging a book by it's cover, to self-acceptance and compassion! We look forward to spending this long lived tradition at OIS with your child.
Thank you for your continued support!
Mrs. Bender

Remote Learning for Students in Quarantine
Our goal is to ensure all students stay on pace and are provided the best possible experience regardless of what environment they are in. OIS teachers are dedicated to your child regardless if they are here in person or at home (learning remotely because that is what works best for your family at this time OR in quarantine).
If your child needs to be in quarantine, please contact the OIS office as soon as possible so we can get them set-up in the correct Schoology course. Please click on the link below for further information.
Student Expectations and Guidelines
The remote schedule will be in your child’s Schoology course.
We look forward to this learning opportunity and hope you find it valuable!
