Thank you for all your support during last week's Fall Book Fair! For the most recent update on how it went, please check out our school's website!

I wanted to share some EXCITING news with you! We recently found out that out of all of our local schools that had the Dairy Queen Fundraiser Night, WE HAD THE MOST SALES! How cool is that? We now have the opportunity to come together again in January and if we win again, which I know we can, the entire month of February will be a "round up" month at Dairy Queen! That means that 100% of the round up proceeds during February, would be coming to Ottomon!

Join us on Thursday, October 31st for our Annual Character Parade! The fun starts at 8:00am. Families are welcome to stay and watch - no need to sign in as this will be right after school drop off. If a student's outfit includes a mask, it may be worn during the parade only and must be removed for the rest of the day. Absolutely NO guns, knives, swords or lightsabers for any portion of the day. No overly bloody, scary or gory outfits as we have children who may be afraid. Please wear proper footwear and adherence to our school dress code is required. Can't wait to see all the fun costumes parade around!

We love having PE this year! We would like if you could help us by reminding your child on PE days, to wear tennis shoes. We have students in crocs trying to participate in PE and it can be dangerous with them running around and playing. Thank you so much for your help!

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. There is also a few water bottles as well. 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!
