Happy Thursday Otsego Knights!
Otsego Families,
We made it! 3rd Quarter is in the books! Nine more weeks of school until summer break!
Please see the enclosed flier for our Spring 2023 Fundraiser. This year we will again be selling those delicious pastries from Stoller Fundraising. They have included an online store link in order to purchase directly online. Click on the link, choose the student you want to support and place your order!
A quick update on our school counselor. Mrs. Laudick will not be available until further notice. She is off on maternity leave and will return after. If you need to speak to a school counselor please contact the office and we will refer you to her replacement.

Safe School Helpline
Dear Parents, Students and Friends,
Recent polls show that parents’ first concern about schools today is their child’s safety. That is my concern as well. Fortunately, the Otsego is very safe. However, no community is immune from the threats of violence and drugs that endanger public schools nationwide.
We are introducing a Safe School Helpline® to help prevent such actions. It is designed to assist you in reporting any wrongdoing that impacts our schools, our students, or our staff – anonymously, so as to protect your privacy. For example, you may wish to report acts of violence, theft, drug or alcohol use, weapons, or sexual harassment.
Just call from a touch-tone phone to 1-800-4-1-VOICE, ext. 359 (418-6423) to leave your information. Or TEXT: 614-426-0240 Then type: TIPS Your message will not be traced, and you will not be identified. The Safe School Helpline® team will transcribe and fax your message to school officials, so appropriate action can be taken.
Thank you for your continued support to provide a better education for all Otsego students.
