Dear OHS Families,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
We had a terrific week at Osborn Hill! We finished our NWEA assessments, which will help us track student progress and provide us with data to inform our instruction. We had an extremely high-energy assembly on Tuesday, “So Fun City,” which the students found very fun! Pictures included below. The 5th grade really enjoyed their trip to Perry Mill Pond on Wednesday, despite a few rain drops. There also seemed to be a great turnout for Run Club this past Friday!
In addition, we had a fire drill on Friday, and the children did a wonderful job! The students who were in the bathroom and the hallway found the nearest staff member and went outside with them, which is exactly what they should do. Also, regarding student safety, I sent home a Parent Square two weeks ago about bike safety. Please continue to reinforce with your children how to ride their bikes safely, in the neighborhood and at school.
Looking at this week, please remember we have Tuesday off for Rosh Hashanah, and this Friday is an OHS Spirit Day…have children wear their OHS gear to school!
Finally, I want to update you regarding our vestibule construction. The contractor is securing the materials they needed to finish the job, and they will continue the work when students are not in school, this Tuesday, September 23rd, and next Thursday, October 2nd. Hopefully that will be enough time for them to be close to finishing the project.
I hope you and your children have a great week! Take care.
