Parent Orientation and Registration Information for New Families for the 24/25 School Year
Oster will host a parent orientation meeting for new incoming families to Oster. This meeting is intended for parents new to Oster who will have a student (s) enrolling for the 2024-2025 school year.
During the meeting, you will join the principal, Mrs. Taormina, office staff, and health clerk for an informational presentation on the registration process, our grade level curriculum, and on-site Extended Care options. At the end of the presentation, we will take a brief tour of the campus, including short classroom visits.

For parents who are interested in attending the orientation we are asking you to please RSVP so we can plan accordingly. The orientation meeting and school tour will be held on Thursday, January 11th from 9:00-10:00 am.
Unfortunately, we cannot allow children to attend the meeting nor participate in the classroom visits. Please be sure to make the appropriate childcare arrangements on the day that you will be attending the orientation meeting.
