Dear OSG Families, 

We hope you have been enjoying the beautiful weather this weekend! As we experience a preview of spring, we are also experiencing the impact that the melting snow has on the sidewalks, compound, parking lot and field. Please be cautious walking to school in the mornings as the wet sidewalks and compound freeze at night and make the hard surfaces very icy and slippery in the mornings. Remember to walk on the sidewalks and not in the parking lot for safety. Also, note that the parking lot is for staff parking only and parents/guardians are not permitted to drive into the parking lot. Thank you for your cooperation to keep students safe. 

The melting snow is also causing puddles and a tremendous amount of mud on the school field. Please be sure your child is wearing appropriate footwear during this muddy season and consider packing an extra pair of socks and pants in case accidents happen. 

Student-Led Conferences 

You are now able to book a time for Student-Led Conferences for March 21 or March 22 in your MyCBE account.

This will be an opportunity for your child to share their learning with you in their classroom. During this 30 minute conference time, you will have time to gain a full understanding of the learning your child is engaged in at school and how they are achieving across all subject areas. Please note that each 30 minute time slot will have space for up to 4 families to participate at the same time. If you feel you need an individual conference time with your child’s teacher, please connect with them directly.
