Principal Weekly Update
Thank you to all of the families that came out this week for American Education Week and your support of our annual Book Fair. Proceeds from the Book Fair benefit our library and classrooms to provide educational materials for students.
Thank you for the support of our annual Food Drive benefitting the Illinois Valley Food Pantry. We donated nearly 2000 food items to the pantry. Thank you for helping those in need!
Next week is a short week, but an important one. We have Parent-Teacher Conferences scheduled for Monday evening from 4-7 and Tuesday morning from 8-12. It is not too late to schedule a conference please contact your child's teacher. As a reminder we only have student attendance on Monday for a regular day of school. Thanksgiving break begins on Tuesday for students.
We wish all of our families a Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels if you are leaving the area for the holiday!
Attendance Update
Our attendance rate for the week of 11/17/25 is 92.4% Our yearly attendance is at 94.8%. For the first time this year we have dipped below our goal of 95% attendance. As a reminder please try and limit all non-necessary absences for your child. We appreciate your efforts to make sure your children are in school unless they are ill.
Rooms
If you are having any trouble with Rooms access or getting linked to your child's classroom please contact your child's teacher. We are off to a great start utilizing the new communication platform.
Reporting Absences
Please share your extracurricular photos!
We have a new feature in our yearbook program this school year and we are able to create a "community photo album" so that parents/guardians of Oglesby Schools can share pictures they take at extracurricular events. All extracurriculars have a designated photo album where parents/guardians can upload their pictures. These photos can then be shared in our social media posts, website and our yearbook.
PLEASE NOTE: While we appreciate every submission, please understand that due to the volume we receive, space limitations and some students who cannot have pictures shared on social media, we may not be able to feature every photo on social media, our website, or in the yearbook.
If you have pictures from an event that does not have a designated photo album, please email Traci Tomasson at tomassont@ops125.net to see if one can be added or not.
