Parent Teacher Conferences
PT Conferences will be held on Thursday, 11/16, and Friday, 11/17. Conferences will be held from 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM virtually on 11/16 and from 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM on 11/17 with all conferences being in-person from 12:00 - 2:00 and a mix between in-person and virtual depending on staff choice. A SignUp Genius and instructions to sign up for conferences will come out the first week in November.
Activity Fee
We are still missing the first semester activity fee from just under half of our students. Students that have not turned in their activity fee received an email reminder today. Remember, we count on the activity fee to fund our field trips and other activities. If you have not done so already, please send your activity fee money in next week. The fee is $40 per semester and you can pay for both semesters at once. If you are in a situation where you cannot afford the activity fee, please let us know.
School Wide Fundraising
Each year OEC participants in a few school wide fundraising efforts. The goal of these efforts is to completely cover the cost of any senior activities for our graduating students so they do not have to pay for anything. We host a senior "all night" party each year and have raffle prizes for each student. We also send students off with a special gift from OEC. Our first fundraising activity will be an online cookie dough sale that will start next week. More information will come when the informational fliers come in.
Lunch

Shuttle Bus
The shuttle departs from WBHS each day at 7:35, is located in the south bus loop and is route 22.
