A Note from Principal Werchowski
Dress Code Reminder:
To help everyone start the year on the right foot, here’s a quick reminder of our dress code expectations, as outlined in the handbook:
Cleanliness & Safety: All students should prioritize cleanliness, health, neatness, and safety in their appearance. Clothing should be appropriate for school activities and ready for learning.
Prohibited Items: Clothing, jewelry, pocket chains, or footwear that might damage school property or pose a safety risk should be left at home.
Classroom Readiness: Coats and outerwear should be placed in lockers during school hours. Backpacks and handbags should also remain in lockers, not in classrooms.
Appropriate Attire: Clothing that draws inappropriate attention, such as tops with narrow straps, garments revealing cleavage, midriff, or back, and extremely short or tight shorts/skorts, is not allowed.
Headgear: Hoods, hats, and sunglasses should not be worn in learning spaces unless specified by permission.
Prohibited Messaging: Clothing displaying obscenity, sexual innuendo, or promoting substances like alcohol or tobacco is not allowed, as well as anything depicting gang affiliation.
Students who need to adjust their attire during the school day will be asked to change or provided with alternative clothing from our health room if necessary.
MAP Testing:
MAP testing is scheduled for September 9th-11th. Students will have the option to listen to directions, so please ensure they have corded earbuds ready.

We are thrilled to introduce new annual sports passes for families, individuals, and 4K-8th grade students! These passes provide unlimited access to all OHS home games, for all sports, for the 2024-2025 school year. With an annual pass, you can support our Raccoons while enjoying the convenience of not having to purchase individual tickets for each event. https://www.oasd.k12.wi.us/schools/athletics/tickets/ Please note that elementary and intermediate age children must be supervised by an adult, parent, or guardian at all OHS athletic events and must have an electronic ticket in order to enter events. Your support and supervision ensures a positive atmosphere and that everyone has a great time.
Work Permit Process
Parents of students 16 and younger seeking a work permit, will now log on to the Department of Workforce Developments page and use their permit application tool. Here is the link: Work Permit.
This new system will allow you to apply for a permit 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from any computer, tablet or smartphone. You will make your payment through the system as well. The department will mail a paper copy of the permit directly to your child's employer.
