As happy as we are to see that spring is here, unfortunately with that comes some unpredictable temperatures. We ask that you please send our friends to school dressed appropriately for the outdoor weather. If the temperature is below 50 degrees, students will need a jacket.

LIMITED LUNCH SERVICE AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS are used when a student is very negative in their lunch account and the family has been notified by Food Service that service will cease if the account isn’t brought current. If the student doesn’t bring a sack lunch or cash to pay for the lunch the Food Service Department will allow the student to eat a limited lunch. The limited lunch will consist of 2 pieces of bread and a peanut butter cup (as the entrée) and then will be allowed to have the fruit, veggies and milk offered and the account will get charged accordingly for the limited lunch. They will NOT be able to have their choice of an entrée.
HAVE LUNCH WITH YOUR CHILD All Elementary Schools and the Food Services Department invites parents of school-age children to have lunch with their child any school day. Please let the school office know in advance so we can make sure a lunch gets ordered for you. You may bring money with you to pay for the meal or the adult lunch can be charged to your students Food Service Account.

Medications at School (Cough drops, pain medications, creams, etc.)
All medications are to be picked up by parent/guardian on or before the last day of school – (Friday, June 2, 2019). Our policy will not allow us to keep them for the next school year. Any medications left here will be properly disposed of.
If you know your student will need medication next school year, we are asking you this summer to obtain an order from your doctor/nurse practitioner before the start of the next school year. You can pick up this Medication\Treatment Request form from your school secretary or health assistant before the end of this school year OR download the form from the District website. http://www.oshkosh.k12.wi.us/district/student-services/health-service
A physician/nurse practitioner signature must accompany all medications/treatments intended for more than 10 days use.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call the Health office at 424-0164 Ext 1705.
In the fall, the medication/treatment form, when completed by you and your doctor, can be given to the school secretary along with the properly labeled container of medication.

Office Tips From Mrs. Molash
If you are calling in your student for any reason and need to leave a message, please call 920.424.0164 and select option "0." This will take you to the school office inbox where you can leave your details.
When leaving a message, please leave the first and last name of your student, their grade, and their reason for absence, including any symptoms they have if they are sick. If your student will be late for any reason, please let us know so that you can avoid receiving an "unexcused" call.
If you will be needing to pick your student up for an appointment or any other reason, please let us know in advance so that we may have your student ready.
Please let us know if you will be taking your student(s) out of school for an extended amount of time. You will need to fill out a Pre-Planned Absence Form if your student will be missing multiple days. Please contact the office to have a form sent home with your student.
If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach me at 920.424.0164, or by email rachel.molash@oshkosh.k12.wi.us
