Senior Attendance Letter
January 9, 2025
Dear Parent/Guardian of 2025 Graduates:
It has been an amazing end to the 2nd quarter! Our Senior Class is heading steadfast into their LAST semester of High School in the Northern Ozaukee School District. Our Seniors have shown hard work, persistence, and commitment to finishing their academic career in school at a high level. In order to finish the year in good standing and in the best manner possible, I am asking that you talk with your student about our attendance requirements for the 2nd Semester of their “final act” here at OHS.
This is a reminder that, per NOSD Board Policy, Ozaukee High School has an attendance requirement for seniors wishing to participate in the graduation ceremony. Every senior must attend 90% of class time during his or her final semester of school. This means that no more than 8 days or 32 class periods may be missed during the second semester of the 2024-25 school year.
Please note, only medical appointments, court dates and college visits are excluded in this 10% of allowable absences and then only with documentation of the visit from the official institution. If there are any other rare circumstances for missing school, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
Graduation is a special ceremony for the students and their families. It is my sincere wish to be able to include your son or daughter in this memorable celebration, therefore I am sending out this letter to ensure that nobody is surprised by this Ozaukee Board of Education requirement. Please team up with us to ensure the best possible attendance for your senior student.
Sincerely,
Matt Zavada
Principal
Ozaukee High School

How to obtain a work permit
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.
