OES Summer Math Challenge:

You have worked hard to learn math this year. To forget it all during the summer would be a bummer!

           

Spend 10 - 20 minutes doing a math activity for a total of 20 days and have your parents initial or sign it off on this sheet.  When school starts in August, bring this sheet to your teacher.  Your teacher will love you, you will be glad you don't have to relearn everything and the PTA will give you a small treat for all your hard work.

PTA/SCC Meeting, Sept. 30 at 1:pm in the library

There is an important district meeting for OES parents. The meeting will be held Thursday, Sept. 30, at 1:00pm., in the OES library.


Our Board is seeking input about the Mission, Vision, Values, and Goals of ASD. They will also be informing people of the potential Bond election in the Fall of 2011. Included in the Bond discussion will be 1) accountability for the 2006 Bond, 2) why do we need a bond? and 3) the process and time line in the upcoming year for a potential bond.

PTA and School Community Council members that attend our school meeting should have students attending our school. We will keep the meetings to one hour.

There will be time included in the hour to express feedback, concerns, or ask questions to our Board Members about any issue.

Thank you -
