Yesterday, we welcomed our future Intermediate School students as the 3rd grade classes from the Primary School visited OCIS for a special tour of the building! Students had the opportunity to explore the school, learn more about what to expect next year, and ask questions as they prepare for their transition to Intermediate School. Our NJHS students did a wonderful job assisting the visit and helping our future 4th graders feel excited and welcomed. We are looking forward to seeing them again next year!

Today was National Bike & Roll to School Day! Students met at two locations this morning and then “Biked with a Cop” to OCIS. Escorted by OCPD officers, they made their way to school, while learning important safety tips along the way. This event helps promote safe biking practices and encourages students to use safe routes to and from school.
OCSD teachers spark inspiration and instill knowledge each day. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! We are so grateful for all that you do!
