The O So Good Update

January 7, 2024

Principally Speaking...

Dear Osgood Families,

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season, and you are having a great beginning of 2024! We would like to thank everyone for all of the holiday wishes that you sent our way and for all the generosity that you showed during the giving season.

During the month of December the Osgood Community had several experiences where we shared our talents, kindness and opened our classrooms to volunteers.

· The Holiday Concert was very well attended by parents, grandparents and other family members

· The school community donated over 400 toys to the Toys 4 Tots program, it was a collaborative effort with the Cohasset Police Dept.

· Family volunteers came into several classrooms to participate in activities or read to classes.

· Preschool had two-holiday music performances in their classroom which was well attended by family members.

* The Osgood staff and Brownie Troop sponsored 25 children through the Wonderland Program.

Thank you !!!

Be Well, Be Happy, and Spread happiness,

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.
