As we gear up for another academic year at Oster, we kindly request your cooperation in completing a brief questionnaire regarding your plans for the 2024-25 school year. Your input is invaluable in aiding us with initial staff and enrollment planning. Each family should have received a quick questionnaire via ParentSquare, which we ask you to fill out at your earliest convenience. While we understand that plans may be subject to change, your response will greatly assist us in preparing for the upcoming year. Please ensure that the questionnaire is completed once for each student in your family.
For those who have already taken the time to complete the survey, we extend our gratitude. Your response is immensely appreciated and instrumental in our planning efforts.
It's time to show off your ferocious school spirit with our upcoming Crazy Hair Day! Let your imagination run wild and your locks go untamed as we roar into a day filled with creativity and fun.
Whether you're sporting a towering hair sculpture, vibrant colors, or even some funky accessories, let your mane reflect the true spirit of our Cougar pride! This is your chance to stand out and show everyone what it means to be a part of our roaring community. Go Cougars!
It’s SHOWTIME!
Starting Arts and Oster HSC present Willy Wonka Jr. April 4th and 5th! Come enjoy a great show and support your fellow Oster students!
Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka Jr. follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever comes up with these
tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four
of the five winning children are insufferable brats, but the fifth is a likable young lad
named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable
grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka’s rules in the factory - or suffer
the consequences.
Visit: https://OsterWonka.eventbrite.com to purchase your tickets.
We have 2 casts. So if you want to see your friends, make sure to find out what cast they
are in.
Blueberry Cast: Thursday April 4th at 7:30pm and Friday April 5th at 5pm
Marshmallow Cast: Thursday April 4th at 5pm and Friday April 5th at 7:30pm
Do you enjoy all of the Home & School Club supported enrichment events, activities and programs? Do you want them to continue? We need YOU! HSC needs volunteers for next school year to fill almost all of our Board positions along with MANY event, program and activity leads. For more details on positions, click here.
What are the qualifications? Simple: 1) you must care deeply about your Oster student(s), teachers & staff and, 2) be willing to dedicate some of your time and talent to fostering the Oster Community.
You may be wondering… how much time? As much or as little time as you can give!
You may also be wondering… what if I don’t know what I’d be good at? Ask us! We can match you to a great fit!
Finally, you may be wondering… why do I need to reach out now? Having overlap between existing volunteers and new will create continuity and make everyone’s job easier! New board members and leads will want to spend their time creating a great 2024/2025 and that is best achieved when you get started early! Email VPHSC@osterhsc.org to learn more or offer your time and talents.
A favorite Oster Tradition, Frozen Friday, happens each week! Stop by after school on Fridays outside the cafeteria to purchase a frozen treat and hang with friends! All treats are $1 or $2. Small bills are appreciated or we can take ApplePay! OR, purchase a Frozen Friday Card here.
Did you know that starting with this new year, Frozen Friday is a Science Camp fundraiser (goal is to raise $6,000 each year, a BIG help to our 5th grade families). We are looking to you, 4th and 5th grade parents and guardians to volunteer - sign up here! Volunteering to help with Frozen Friday is a great opportunity to get involved with HSC and only takes an hour or so on Friday afternoon! And, if your 5th grader wants to help sell, they are welcome to fill a volunteer slot. Again, please sign up TODAY.
We are also looking for a new lead for this year and next. Again, all money raised goes to reduce the cost of Science Camp to our 5th grade families. If you are interested, please email: covphsc@osterhsc.org.
