The Cold Weather is Here...

Please remember to send your children to school with warm clothes for inclement weather. With snow outside your student will need a coat, hat, mittens, snowpants, and boots. Please let the office know if you are in need of any assistance with any of these items. 

 Temperatures and appropriate outside recess wear is:

• Between 50-60 degrees- students need to wear long sleeves

• 61 degrees and above- students choice (shorts are allowed)

All students will be outside before school, at recess, and lunch unless the temperature is below 10 degrees or a wind chill of below zero.

COVID INFORMATION

Here are some things your school nurse is asking you to do to help us return to school as safe as possible:

• Notify the school if you are currently under quarantine or isolation (alycia.zabel@oshkosh.k12.wi.us)

• Continue to monitor your student’s health by using the OASD Student Daily Health Screen

  • If you are able to answer “yes” to any of the questions, DO NOT send your child or their siblings to school. Please notify the school that your child and siblings will be absent and state the reason for staying home.

  • We will call you to determine a return to school date. This is a new part of our job this year that can feel very invasive. We have to call and ask questions regarding your child’s health. Your cooperation will help us to follow the guidelines and continue to keep the doors open for in person learning. 

• Don't send your child to school if anyone in your house:

  • is waiting for covid test results 

  • has a positive test result

  • is having symptoms consistent with covid.

• Update your Infinite Campus contact information so we can get a hold of you if your children need to be picked up from school. If you can not do it yourself, please contact your school’s front office. 

• Understand our team of covid contact tracers receive guidance from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and the Winnebago County Public Health Department.  At this time, OASD continues to practice 14 day quarantines to ensure student and staff safety in our schools during this pandemic. 

• If you have questions or concerns please contact: alycia.zabel@oshkosh.k12.wi.us

Virtual Attendance/Participation

It is the parent's responsibility to take attendance (instructions below) on their child's virtual learning days. 

-If you do take attendance, it will be recorded as present and nothing will show up on your child's attendance tab.

-If you forget to take attendance, it will automatically change to "XDLD" (exempt digital learning day) at 11:59 PM.  This does not hurt your child's attendance and does not count against their 10 days.

-The system does not allow our office  to make any changes to your child's virtual day attendance.  Only the parent can check them in and if you forget, the XDLD will remain on your child's attendance.
