The O So Good Update

Nov. 5, 2023

Principally Speaking...

Dear Osgood Families,

I hope you all are enjoying this wonderful Fall season. In all of the classrooms, we have been very busy learning new skills and practicing past skills. Again, we were very lucky to have Holly Hill Farm visit with us again this week to continue planting and harvesting with our students.

We have been very fortunate to have some great learning activities provided by parents during our classroom Fall Festivals. Thank you to all of the families that volunteered to support our teachers and have fun with our students - you help us make learning fun and meaningful.

It was great to see many parents at the Fall PSO meeting last week, Thank you, Selectwoman Dippold for sharing information about the upcoming town meeting.

Please make sure you check out the Nurses' Corner and From The Cafeteria... both of these areas will update you on important information.

Please do not forget to check out our Bloomz information.

Be Well, be Happy, and Spread happiness,

Lisa M. Farrell

Please Remember....

* Please remind students that we do not bring Trading Cards to school or on the bus, unfortunately, what ends up happening is that trading occurs and some students want to trade back, which causes us to have some unhappy friends.

* Please label your children's clothes, when things are left behind it is easier to locate the owner if there is a name on the article.

* At the end of the day please do not park your car to come to get your child as a walker, please use the existing system. Walker doors are for children's parents who walk them to school. Car pick-up is for car riders.

* As many of you know, the Osgood Office is always bustling; please make sure that you send in all notices about dismissals or call the office before 2:00 pm. We start getting ready for the end of the day at 3:00; we do not want any children to be confused by last-minute changes; it causes anxiety for students.

* If your child is going to be out for the day, please call the office to let us know.

* We serve breakfast to students from 9:10-9:25 each morning.
