OSA Families:
Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year! Some info for week one --
1. Pick-up drop off. On 18th Street, line up on the left to let through traffic use the right lane. Please wait in the line as opposed to trying to use the through lane to get closer to the school.
2. After school care. We are hiring high school seniors to help us with the program. It will begin on Wed., Sept. 1. Care will be available from 3:35 -- 6:00. Cost is $50 a week, $12 a day.
3. Class sizes. OSA is at capacity for the first time. Class sizes are averaging about 32, requiring students to be focused and prepared.
4. Parent participation. First APT meeting is Tuesday, Sept. 14 at 6PM. Please be involved as OSA thrives on a full-community effort.
We are excited for Day One and beyond. See you tomorrow as OSA attempts to Defy Gravity and create inspired excellence in the classroom, on the stage, in the gallery -- everywhere!
Donn Harris
Executive and Artistic Director
