Plan on joining OAC at Life Stream Church in Allendale for the Annual OAC Holiday Program. The program will begin at 1:30pm. Students will be bused home immediately following the conclusion of the program. If you would like to take your student home with you after the program, please notify your teacher and Dean Transportation at least a day before the program.

This is a wonderful program that many families are unaware of. If your taxable income is less than $60,000, you can qualify for subsidies.

-CMH will have open office hours at OAC. This is an opportunity for parents to come in on an as needed basis to make connections and answer any questions you may have about the services they offer.

-Reminder this is CMH of Ottawa County and they only service residents of Ottawa County. If your student resides in a different county and needs information about CMH, they can connect your family with the CMH in that county.

-Please email Brenda if you would like to schedule a specific time for your family to meet with the CMH staff on December 20, 2023. bseymour@oaisd.org

- This is a great opportunity to discuss transition planning. Remember - much like we base transition services around student postsecondary goals and unmet needs, CMHOC also bases the services they provide on eligibility, the goals an individual has for their life and the unmet needs after exploring all options available.

OAC will be facilitating any families who are in need for the upcoming holidays. Please connect with Jillian Kent our Social Worker at 616-738-8960 ext. 2038 or jdossett@oaisd.org if your family needs help during the holidays.

The Salvation Army assistance program sign ups begin October 16, see details below.
