2025 Bond Update!
Our fields and grounds projects are continuing to proceed as planned. Trucks are running daily moving loads of dirt from the fields in preparation for our new turf surfaces.
We're continuing to work with the city of Oregon City to obtain permits through their process for all of our 2025 bond projects.
Finally, we are meeting with our CM/GC partners to review the initial cost estimates they have produced.
Our strategic plan Instructional Excellence priority focuses on helping our staff to learn and grow in their practice and to further encourage student growth and success. Learning opportunities for our staff didn't stop this summer! Earlier this August, our educators voluntarily attended our "Educators Empowered" professional development conference. They learned from our very own students who shared their experiences, best practices in communicating with families, advanced lesson planning, how to support our students, and much more!

We had so much fun this summer continuing to provide learning and support for our students! We had the fantastic opportunity to provide multiple options for our OCSD families, such as summer school, family field trips, reading in the park, kindergarten camp, and so much more. All of these programs were made possible through grant funding. Students from various grade levels were able to grow in the areas of reading, writing and math in our summer pathways program, participate in outdoor activities, show off their creativity in thematic exploration activities, and some high school students were even able to visit colleges and learn more about future pathways.

School has officially begun and busses are out on the roads picking up students. We ask our community, for the safety of our students and drivers, please be patient and practice good road safety when you see our buses on your commutes.
Remember, when the red lights begin to flash, vehicles traveling in both directions must stop before reaching the bus and must remain stopped until the red lights are turned off. This applies to any roadway with two or more lanes of traffic . Let's make sure we all do our part in creating a safe journey to school for our students!
