Reminders from the Office 

Absence Call:  All students that will not be attending school for the day must be called in to the school office each day they are absent, unless you have communicated otherwise with the office staff.  If you leave a voicemail message, be sure to include the student's name, teacher's name and reason for the absence (if ill, please let us know the symptoms as we are required by Winnebago County to keep track of all illnesses).

Students Arriving Late to School: If your student arrives in the building after  7:55 a.m., they must stop at the office to check in before going to class. Additionally, you need to call and excuse them for being late, or they will be marked unexcused.

Morning Drop-Off: Students may be dropped off before school starts at 7:30 a.m. Students do not have recess before school starts, so they should stand on a dot. Students are allowed to enter the building at 7:35 a.m. 

After-School Pick-Up: School releases promptly at 2:45 p.m. For the safety of all students, please make sure you are on time to pick up your child.  If you are unable to arrive at 2:45 p.m., you should make alternate arrangements for your child's pick-up.  Please make sure you keep a consistent routine and that your child knows where to meet you.

Welcoming Visitors in Our Schools

The Oshkosh Area School District is allowing visitors to return to school buildings. This change is being made based on the continued decrease in COVID cases in our community, as well as the widespread access to the COVID vaccine for those ages 5 and older and booster for those eligible. 

Visitors must follow any COVID mitigation strategies that are in place, including wearing a face covering if an elementary classroom or middle/high school is temporarily requiring face coverings due to COVID spread. 

Please read the following reminders specific to visiting OASD schools during the school day. 

  • All OASD schools use a visitor management system (Raptor). Upon entering a school building, visitors are asked to show an ID. If a parent/guardian or visitor does not have an ID, the school staff member can use any form of identification and/or manually enter the person’s name and date of birth into the Raptor system.

  • A volunteer application must be completed each year for those that wish to volunteer in one or multiple OASD schools. To learn more and complete the application visit oshkosh.k12.wi.us/families/volunteer.

We are excited to once again welcome parents/guardians and other visitors into our school. Your involvement and engagement in your students’ education is critical and greatly appreciated!
