A big thank you to our transportation department and mechanic staff for their excellent work in keeping our buses in great shape. It is through the hard work of these individuals that Oscoda Area Schools has been presented with a Certificate of Excellence by the Michigan State Police for achieving a 100% Pass Rate for School Bus Safety Inspections.

Happy Virtual Learning Friday!

Can you believe that today marks the halfway point through the school year? Today is the end of the second marking period. The time has quickly passed. During the last two marking periods the students have shown resiliency and hard work. We can not wait to see what they can accomplish during the second half of the school year.

Here are our RES announcements for this week:

*With the end of the marking period being today, report cards will be going home next week. Be looking for those coming home in the near future.

*Right now 3rd-6th grade students still have to take the state required MSTEP test. For planning purposes here are the dates that students will be testing:

3rd Grade: May 4th, May 5th, May 11th, and May 12th
4th Grade: May 4th, May 5th, May 11th, and May 12th
5th Grade: April 19th, April 20th, April 21st, April 22nd
6th Grade: April 26th, April 27th.

It is extremely important that the students are in attendance on their testing days as this is a state required test for all students. If for some reason your student can not be there that day, please contact your child's teacher ahead of time to arrange another day for testing. We are still a few months away from testing so more information will be coming as we get closer.

*We still have our grade level Be Kind challenge going strong. This will go until February 12th. The grade with the most random acts of kindness will get a small terat. Currently 4th grade is in the lead, but there is still time to catch up. Keep spreading kindness.

*We are very thankful to have the Backpack Food Program. On Wednesday students signed up for this will take home a small bag of groceries. We have plenty of food. If your child does not currently receiving a bag, contact the RES office or your child's teacher and we will get them signed up.

*Upcoming Dates:
February 8th: NO SCHOOL
February 15th: Be Kind Monday

We hope everyone has a safe and healthy weekend!

We will see you on Monday to kick off the 3rd marking period.

Go Owls!

Happy Virtual Learning Friday!

Today Chester was able to get cleaned up and get a haircut. Thank you to Sunrise Side Grooming Salon for his spa day today. He is all cleaned up and looks fantastic. We are very appreciative of their grooming donation!!! They are an Oscoda Owl level sponsor of Chester. Thank you!

Here are the RES announcements for this week:

*Due to the volume of people at parent pick up we are asking, if you are picking a student up at the end of the day, to please have a mask on. We want to keep everyone as healthy and safe as possible. We appreciate your support with this.

*January 20th and 21st all students will be released early. Dismissal time is at 12:30pm on these days.

*January 22nd is a virtual Friday. All students are expected to complete an online assignment/activity that has been assigned by their teacher that day. This counts for attendance and grading purposes. It is also the end of the second marking period.

*RES is having a Be Kind grade level challenge through February 12th. The grade level with the most Caught Being Kind tickets earned between now and then will get a small treat. Currently 4th grade is in the lead. There is still lots of time left. Keep earning those tickets!

*Every week students who have been signed up are taking home a small bag of groceries courtesy of the Backpack Food Program. If this is something you would like, please contact the office or your child's teacher to sign up. There are also bags out at parent pick up available as well and families are welcome to take a bag.

We hope everyone has a healthy and safe weekend.

Go Owls!
