The OCIS Garden Club, led by Mrs. Eileen Conover, continues to turn our courtyard into a place for students to learn, work, and grow! Students have been helping prepare the garden for fall plantings while also giving tours of this summer’s harvest, including herbs, tomatoes, carrots, eggplant, potatoes, melons, and pumpkins. We’re excited to see how this special space continues to grow and evolve!

First day of school vibes! Welcome back, OCIS students. We're ready to dive into another exciting school year!
Happy first day of school to all Ocean City students! We hope you had a great summer and are ready to rock and roll with us. 🎸
New Superintendent Dr. Latwis kicked off the first day back with a fun raffle inviting teachers and staff to share advice and feedback for building a strong, lasting future in Ocean City. Winners received gift certificates to local restaurants and businesses, donated by the Ocean City Education Foundation. The activity reinforced Dr. Latwis’ message - he’s here for the long haul. ⚓️
We look forward to welcoming all OCIS students back to school tomorrow, Wednesday, September 2nd! If you haven't already, please view the OCIS End of Summer Newsletter below that contains important details and information for the 26-27 school year.

Last week at our 21st Century Skills STEM Camp, 7th and 8th grade students explored Earth's history through hands-on fossil activities, a special presentation by Rutgers University's Dr. Pletka, and the creation of their own museum exhibits. The week concludes with an exciting fossil dig at Rowan University's Edelman Fossil Park. We are proud of their curiosity and enthusiasm for science!
