Hello Warrior Families,

Cell phones in schools have absolutely been a hot topic as we have started off this school year. It has consistently been in the news both locally and nationally as schools figure out how to navigate the best approach to cell phones in each of their schools and districts. I think it would be important to review our cell phone policy this school year with families for awareness and to also understand the consequences for students if the policy is being broken within the building. Below is our board approved policy regarding student cell phones, which is located in our student handbook.

Unacceptable uses of electronic devices

Per state statute 175.22 (2013 through Act 380), cell phones are NOT allowed in restrooms and locker rooms at any time.

Personal electronic devices are not allowed in class or during class time including Resource time. Phones are not to be seen or heard in the classroom.

Consequences - There will be no warnings issued.

1st offense - The personal electronic device is taken and placed in the office by the staff member that confiscated the device. The device will be returned to the student at the end of the school day.

2nd offense - The personal electronic device is taken and placed in the OHS office and will be returned to the student at the end of the school day after parent contact is made. A detention is then issued.

3rd offense - The personal electronic device is taken and placed in the OHS office until the student’s parent or guardian picks up the device. Two detentions will be issued.

4th offense and subsequent offenses - will result in a meeting between parents, students, and administration and other consequences including the possible revocation of electronic device privileges and code of conduct violations, including consequences up to suspension.

In all cases, staff will fill out a technology violation slip when they bring the device into the office. Office staff will enter the violation into skyward.

***Students who are uncooperative in relinquishing their phones will immediately report to the office for an in-school suspension for the remainder of the day.

***Administration reserves the right to suspend electronic device privileges indefinitely for repeat offenders at his/her discretion.

As the new Principal here at OHS, I will take this year to see how this policy serves our students and staff and will revisit this policy at the end of the school year to determine if there needs to be any changes. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about cell phones in our building.

Thank you,

Matt Zavada

OHS Principal

The Department of Workforce Development's Equal Rights Division has developed a new online work permit application tool. The application improves accessibility for minors who live in rural or underserved areas and eliminates the difficult logistics involved in working parents having to take off work to make a trip to a work permit office.

The application is live now. A parent can access the site using these instructions. Payment is made directly to the department through the application, using a credit or debit card or by ACH direct withdrawal. Once the permit application process is complete, the Department mails a paper copy of the permit directly to the employer.

In addition, they have reorganized the employment of minors web pages. The information you may need is linked, including a guide to hazardous and prohibited work, the hours and times of day restrictions for minors, and links to the appropriate statutes and codes.

As we complete our first month of the 2024-2025 school year the Food Service Department would like to issue a reminder.

A complete meal consists of the following. Three of the three components offered for

breakfast and/or three of the five components offered for lunch. Anything else is considered

á la carte and must be charged as such.

For the MS/HS the components for lunch should be, a main entree (entreé’s include anything

from the Creation Station, Diner Station, Pizza Parlor or any Salad/Sub/Sandwich from the Grab

N’ Go cooler), a fruit or vegetable (equal to ½ cup portion) and if they’d like, a milk.

The components for breakfast should be, a main entree (entreé’s include the Creation Station

or choice of cereal) and two other options menued on any given day. This could include,

graham crackers, a cheese stick, yogurt or fruit (when offered, juice is considered a fruit)

and if they’d like, a milk.

PLEASE NOTE: It has been brought to the Food Service Dept’s attention that there is the

misconception that any FREE or REDUCED qualifying families are only permitted to have the

main (Creation Station) entree. This is not true. ALL students may have any menued entreé

from any of the following areas. Creation Station, Pizza Parlor, Diner Station or Grab N’ Go

cooler on any given day.

One other reminder, any balances that dip below a negative of $10.00 or more WILL result in

disruption of meal service until that balance is paid. In that case all students will receive a

complete meal consisting of a PBJ sandwich, a serving of fruit, vegetables, and milk at a

reduced rate of $2.50 and the student may not purchase al a carte items.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Food Service Department.
