The Ottomon Times

Hello Ottomon Community! We are seeking volunteers to help make our Trunk or Treat event better than ever! We need participants and volunteers for the following activities: Decorated Trunks, Game Stations, Book Fair.

Please be sure to sign up in on of the spots below to help make our event a sucess!

We are so proud of all of our students, they're doing such a great job this year. Progress reports are available to view on the Parent Portal on Thursday, October 17, 2024. Please reach out to the office if you need help accessing your Parent Portal.

If your child has no marks, that means that they are at grade level. If your student has a mark, it just means that they need a little extra support. If you would like ways to help your student, please reach out to their teacher for the best way to support their needs.

Please be sure to check our lost & found rack. When our days start chilly and end warm, we get an overwhelming amount of jackets and sweatshirts left at school. Thanks for checking!

Would you like to be a volunteer in your child's class? Drive on a field trip? Help out on campus? Please follow the directions on the link below to start the process!

Thank you to our families who generously donated food for our canned food drive! Miss Haley and our student council partnered with Mrs. McLeod's first graders to make this one of our strongest years! All together we collected 1716 items! Way to support your community, Otters!

Come join us in coordinating and planning events here at Ottomon! Our PTA has created a way to sign up electronically! It takes less than 90 seconds!

Three things to do in Parent Portal:

1. Please verify all phone numbers and addresses are correct. This is really important so you receive our communication and we can contact you if your child is ill or has an emergency.
2. View your child's teacher. You can also find this out at the Meet the Teacher BBQ on Monday, August 7 or find out the first day of school!
3. Fill out the school funding form. Even if you do not eat school breakfast or lunch, this funding really helps our school! Thank you!
