Dear OHS Eagles, 



Mr. Jacob Parillo was the “Principal for the Day” on Tuesday. He helped create the family news, visited classrooms, was principal on the cart and so much more.

Thank you to the PTA for making this happen!

The 4th and 5th Grade Band & Strings Concert at Parsons last night was truly delightful! Congratulations to all the talented young musicians on their fantastic performance!

Reminder there is no school on Monday, January 20th

Birthday/Celebration-  If your child is handing out birthday invitations in school, all students in the class must be invited.  Otherwise, please refrain from sending them to school for distribution. At the elementary level, we do not use food as a part of our class celebrations (birthdays, holidays, end-of-year parties).  Please do not send or bring food or candy to your children's classroom for parties or other reasons.  For birthdays or other special events, we invite family members in to read a book or do a craft with students as part of the celebration.  Please coordinate any visits with the classroom teacher well in advance.
