Dear OHS Eagles,
We had an exciting week at OHS! The “Stomp Out Bullying, Spread Kindness” spirit days brought great excitement and the OHS Fun Run was so enjoyable. A HUGE thank you to the OHS PTA for organizing this wonderful week for our learning community. Also, a HUGE thank you to our teachers and staff for supporting this fun-filled week. We are lucky to have such dedicated staff, students and families at OHS.
Kindergarten has a visit from the Milford Fire Department!!! We are so fortunate to have their support.

Parents/guardians will once again have the opportunity to select a conference time through My Conference Time. All conferences will be in person unless a parent/guardian requests a Google Meet link directly from the teacher. Fall conference sign up information will be live on our school website from Friday, October 6th, at 9:00 a.m. through Monday, October 16th, at 12:00 p.m. If you prefer a virtual session, please contact the teacher to request a Google Meet link to conduct your conference virtually after you have confirmed your conference time through My Conference Time Online Scheduler. We are looking forward to meeting with you to discuss your child’s learning!
