ATTENDANCE

If your child is going to be absent or late for school for any reason, please contact the office at 920-424-0172.  If we are unable to speak to us directly, you may leave a message on the voice mail system to report the absence.  Please be specific when calling your child in. If it is an illness we do need to know all the symptoms the child is having as well as the best number to reach you at if we have any further questions. Absences are considered "unexcused" if we do not hear from a parent/guardian by 9 am.  Students who are absent from school more than 10 minutes of any part of the day without a proper excuse shall be recorded as unexcused.  A student who is absent less than 10 minutes of a day shall be recorded as tardy.  The time a student enters or leaves the building will be documented, and the system will calculate the absence accordingly and uniformly across the district.  Please keep this in mind as you schedule appointments for your children.  It is always best to schedule appointments during non-school hours.  Students are expected to be in class from 7:45 to 2:45 daily.

Wisconsin Weather

With Wisconsin weather varying so much from day to day please make sure your child(ren) is dressed appropriately for school. Our district's guidelines are as follows:

• Below 55 degrees-coat required
• Between 55-60 degrees-Long sleeves needed
• 61 degrees and over -students choice (shorts are allowed)

WINTER WEATHER:

• Boots, Snowpants and winter jackets are required to play on the snow.
• Also remember hats, gloves and scarves for extra warmth.
• Recesses will be outdoors unless the temperature is below 10 degrees or the wind chill is below zero.

NO SCHOOL FRIDAY'S

 This year we will NOT be having any early release days. One Friday a month will be set aside for Staff Professional Development and the students will have NO SCHOOL.  

For additional school days off please see the 2022-23 School Calendar

After School Programs

The school day ends at 2:45 and students must be picked up at that time. If you are unable to pick up your student at this time and they are not able to walk home, students must then be enrolled in one of the after care programs that are available.

There is the YMCA after school program, which is held in house but run by the YMCA.  Registration is done online at the oshkoshymca.org. If you do not have internet access you can contact Eric at (920)230-8967.

The other after school program is the Boys & Girls club. A bus will pick them up from school and transport them to the club.  Registration is done online at bgcosh.org
