Did you know that OCS has an app? This year our district launched a new app along with redesigned websites. If you download the app you can have quick access to information from both the district and your child's school. You can get push notifications for announcements and emergency alerts. We are always looking for ways to improve our communications with families, and our new app is a great way to stay connected. Download it today from your phone's app store!

Sixth graders in Mrs. Walker's class have been learning about potential and kinetic energy. They applied their knowledge by designing and building roller coasters with 4-H. What a fun lesson!
