Hey Raccoons!
Just a reminder—the first day of school will be staggered based on
grade level. Please check out all of the details below.
First Day of School for Freshmen Only: Tuesday, September 3
(7:20am-2:40pm)
This year, our freshmen will have their first day of school on
Tuesday, September 3 from 7:20am-2:40pm. This will allow our newest Raccoons to
learn their way around the building and integrate themselves into our
community. Our upperclassmen, student leaders, and staff members are excited to
offer this experience to our freshmen!
Students should report to the entrance of the Gale Douglas Field
House by 7:15am. Attendance is required, and buses will operate on their
regular schedule, dropping students off at OHS by 7:05am. Students will have
the chance to meet their teachers, but they should not bring their Chromebooks
or school supplies. Please note that students can either purchase lunch at one
of our many serving stations or bring their own. The day is designed to help
students meet each other, learn about high school, and lay the foundation for a
fun and successful four years! The schedule for the day’s activities include:
7:20am-11:00am Freshmen
Orientation offered by LINK Crew

First Day of Classes for All Grades: Wednesday, September 4
(7:20am-2:40pm)
Sophomores, juniors, and seniors will join our freshmen for their
first official day of classes on Wednesday, September 4 from 7:20am-2:40pm.
Please bring your Chromebooks and supplies. We will continue our tradition of
gathering as an entire community for our Second Annual All-School Cookout!
Lunch is free for everyone, so there is no need to bring one that day.
Seniors, campus will open for lunch on Thursday, September 5. I
can hear the groans now, but hey- take the free lunch and unite with our
community to kick off the year!
Teachers will have the modified schedule for this day posted in
their classrooms.
We will see everyone next week!
