End of Term 1 - Information, Important Dates, Adjusted Schedules

Thursday, October 16, 2025

 Hi everyone!

Believe it or not, the first term of the school year comes to a close at the end of the month. As we approach the end of the grading period and our first set of term exams, I wanted to provide everyone with information about upcoming scheduled adjustments, report card distribution details, and other important events on our calendar. It’s a busy few weeks!

Beyond everything listed below, we have several exciting events scheduled at OHS: 

  • Playoffs for our Fall Sports! 
  • Combined Orchestra, Band, and Choir Concert to celebrate the City of Oconomowoc’s 150th Birthday on Wednesday, October 29 at 7pm in the Fieldhouse.
  • Individual meetings for all sophomore families with their counselors.

Watch your email, school announcements (RCC), and our social media pages for more details.

Reach out to your assigned counselor or me if you have any questions!

Go Raccoons!
Mr. Curtis
