We Need Your Help 

Shapiro Families- We could use your help! The Health Office is greatly in need of clothing changes for our students here. Through past donations from staff and families, we have been able to supply extra socks, undergarments, pants, t-shirts and sweatshirts to those students who may need a change during the school day, for various reasons. Unfortunately, we are running very low. If you may happen to do a closet clean out and are willing to part with elementary school-sized student clothing, we would be so grateful!!! Please feel to send clothing in with your student to bring to the office, or you can stop by the school during regular school hours. THANK YOU in advance!!!

 If you are picking your child up during the day for an appointment, we ask that you call the school   office during the morning hours on the day of the appointment. 

 

Winter Clothing

Winter is in full swing, and so is the cold weather! For your child to be able to play on the grass or playground area, they MUST come to school wearing a jacket, hat, gloves/mittens, and boots. Students without these items will need to stay on the blacktop near the school.  If you are in need of any winter items, please reach out to our school counselor, Emily Schmidt, at emily.schmidt@oshkosh.k12.wi.us
