School Website and Infinite Campus Contact Information
Please check the Read Website frequently for important information, important dates, Read's Family Handbook and more.
Also, it is very important that all families have the most up to date contact information listed in Infinite Campus. With new visitor protocols and an increase in virtual learning, our school staff relies on this information to ensure you are receiving all the up to date school and classroom information. It is also very important that we can reach you quickly if your student is sick or there is an emergency.
COVID DATA AND SYMPTOMS
In an effort to still track return to school dates for students, we would like you to continue to notify your student's school when they have symptoms, have tested positive or have been a close contact/household contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID.
Please either Call or Email:
The school Office 920-424-0172 jacqueline.mortor@oshkosh.k12.wi.us
School Nurse 920-424-0172 ext. 2203 paulita.rasar@oshkosh.k12.wi.us or kaitlyn.williams@oshkosh.k12.wi.us
Virtual Attendance/Participation
It is the parent's responsibility to take attendance (instructions below) on their child's virtual learning days.
-If you do take attendance, it will be recorded as present and nothing will show up on your child's attendance tab.
-If you forget to take attendance, it will automatically change to "XDLD" (exempt digital learning day) at 11:59 PM. This does not hurt your child's attendance and does not count against their 10 days.
-The system does not allow our office to make any changes to your child's virtual day attendance. Only the parent can check them in and if you forget, the XDLD will remain on your child's attendance.
School Funding Requests on Nov. 3 Ballot
The Oshkosh Area School District has two school funding requests on the Nov. 3 ballot:
Q1: renew existing funds for school operations
Q2: invest capital funds to improve district school buildings
If voters approve Q1, funds would support academic programs, technology for learning and student support services - with no tax increase.
If voters approve Q2, funds would be invested in our school buildings to improve safety and accessibility, provide more flexible learning spaces, address building maintenance needs and create more cost-effective schools.
