Hi
Raccoons and OHS Families!
I hope
everyone is enjoying the first days of summer vacation! I want to wish all of
you a fun summer with plenty of opportunities to disconnect, relax, and spend
some quality time with friends and family.
Throughout
the summer, we will be making plans for the 2022-2023 school year. This
includes building your final schedule, supporting the registration process, and
preparing for the first day of school. Please take a few minutes and scroll
down to read the grade-level specific information outlined in the message
below.
As we
look toward next year, if there is anything I can do to help, please don’t
hesitate to contact me directly at CurtisJ@oasd.org or at 262-560-3105. In addition,
your counselor will be checking their email and voicemails from time to time
throughout the summer. Please note that some of our counselor assignments

However, we will be closed on Monday, July 4.
We will

As you
close out your 8th-grade experience, chances are returning to school in the
fall is the last thing on your mind, and that’s ok! However, the reality is
that as you enter Freshman year, each Raccoon and their family will have to
adjust to new routines, structures, and schedules. In order to assist in this
transition, our team stands ready to help you be Raccoon Ready so that you kick
off your high school experience in a positive and fun way!
As we
head into the summer, it’s important to draw your attention to several
important dates, deadlines, and upcoming events that will help your transition.
In order to help you navigate these upcoming events, we have designed a RACCOON
READY: Freshmen Transition Webpage which is linked below:
Within
this webpage, you will find the important dates and details about Freshmen
Orientation and your first day of high school, including links to sign up for
your Freshmen Family Dinner & Transition Meeting, Picture Day, and Open
House. In addition, the webpage has information to help you understand all of
the following upcoming events:
