📣Freshmen and New OHS Students! Don’t forget about orientation day tomorrow!

Drop-in and out as you can between 8-12. Perler photography packs up at 11:30am.

‼️Don’t forget all your forms to take home on the table in the lobby - see the photo attached!

Yes, there is a login disconnect with Skyward and InTouch they hope to resolve tonight if you have been unable to pay online for any items. If you have recently changed your skyward password, it takes overnight to synch, try again in the morning. This means lines will be long at Mrs Sluka’s window to take payment, so pack patience or divide and conquer if you bring a parent 😉

If you still cannot see your schedules in your skyward app by the morning, stop into the office for a print. Keep in mind, the line is a long wait for a printed schedule as we only have so many of us and a lot of you! If you see your schedule, print it at home ahead of time. Better yet, have Skyward downloaded and make sure you are logged in or know how to log in so we can guide you on how to pull it up. You will get help a lot quicker if you have the app ready to go!

There will also be ASB leaders available tomorrow to give tours- find them at the table near the PAC bathrooms. These leaders can also help answer a lot of your questions, such as helping you determine your lunch schedule, etc. they are here to help and relieve the office a bit to help with other inquiries.

Last, a family advocate who works at the Family Resource Center through our partnership with PSESD and the Department of Health will be on site tomorrow for any parents/students who need various resources or information. Stop by and say Hi to Maria.
