Social and Emotional Learning
During the month of February, students worked on following directions the first time. Their goal, as a school family, was to earn 300 Dragon tickets. This goal was achieved and we celebrated with extra gym time with our buddy up class! During the month of March we are working on engaging in our learning. Our goal is to earn 600 Dragon tickets. If this goal is achieved students will earn game time or gym time with their buddy up class!
Get ready for Oshkosh Summer School 2024
Registration Opens March 6, Course Guide Now Available
Starting March 6, families may begin registering their child(ren) for Summer School 2024! Be sure to sign up early because classes do fill up and those that do not have enough students enrolled may be canceled.

While remedial courses are available, the majority of courses are designed to keep students thinking and exploring during the summer.
