Next Week
There is no school on Monday, 9.25 but OCC is open. Students with Monday classes need to attend! Friday will be a 5th hour day.
First Field Trip
I sent an email earlier this week about our first field trip to Blake's on October 6th. All students were given permission slips in their FOCUS/13 Sem class this week. Permission slips are due by Wednesday, September 27th because we have to pay in advance. We will be taking a bus on to the orchard but 12th and 13th grade students are allowed to drive BUT they must complete the drivers form in the main office. Also, students are not allowed to drive other students unless they are siblings.
It is also important to remember that Community Time Field Trips, On Campus Community Times and Town Halls are all mandatory activities for ALL students. Students that miss these activities will have assignments to complete to make up for their absence.
Activity Fee
Because we "Do School Different" we engage students in nontraditional ways through organized school outings to build positive relationships between students and staff. In order to make this happen, we ask that each family contribute $80 per student ($40 per semester) to our activity fund to help offset the costs of these trips. We have already booked our first trip to Blake’s Apple Orchard in the fall for an afternoon of activity, interaction and adventure. This trip alone historically costs approximately $2000 and costs are only going up. We request that you submit your 1st semester activity fee to Mrs. Kelley by cash or check payable to Oakland Early College by September 17th but we are happy to arrange an installment plan. We know some families, especially now, will not be able to pay the activity fee so we also accept donations. Many of us donate to nonprofit organizations throughout the year and OEC is the most important nonprofit in your child's life. We can provide you with a receipt for tax purposes if you so choose. We need you and your support to make this a great school year for ALL of our students!
