Walk-a-Thon Fundraiser-2024

walk-a-thon volunteers needed

We're looking for a few more volunteers to help with our Walk-A-Thon on Thursday, November 7th. Please click HERE for more details.

We are committed to providing you and your child a positive youth sports experience that will hopefully develop a passion and a lifelong enjoyment of the game . We are firm believers that family balance is essential to building strong youth in our community and by following a core set of values, we are confident that your child will be asking you for more.

Our leagues will be about skill development, building confidence, friendships and teamwork. 9 out of 10 kids say having fun is their #1 reason to play sports, not winning, and we will follow this model from day 1. Your child can expect to have one scheduled practice per week, and we will strive to have consistent games times and locations so you know what to expect. At no time will your child be expected to travel out of the Oshkosh Area School District.

With cold and flu season upon us already, your child may have a sore throat, runny nose, headache etc. and you may want your child to bring cough drops, Tylenol, cough drops, or other medications to school.  All medications need to be brought into the office and given in the office.  Your child should not keep any medications in their backpacks.  All medications need a signed medication form in the office.  If you would like a form to fill out, please call or email the office to send one home with your child.  It only takes a minute to fill out! 

Please remind your child to cover their mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, and most importantly...WASH HANDS!!!  Washing hands can prevent the spread of diseases.

Your child should stay home if they have any of these symptoms: 100 degree temp or higher, vomiting, diarrhea, thick mucus from the nose, excessive drowsiness, undiagnosed rash or open sores, pain that interferes with learning such as; earache, red, itchy eyes with discharge, sore throat with difficulty swallowing or a persistent, productive cough.  This helps prevent the spread of illness to others in school.  If you child has any of these symptoms they should stay home and be free from symptoms for 24 hours before returning to school.

FRIENDLY REMINDER: When calling your child's school to report their absence, please relay the symptoms they are having to the school office so that the District can continue to report to the health department accurately.

We Need Your Help!

It's that time of year when the playground gets extra wet, muddy and snowy at times, and spills can happen any time of the year.  We have students coming to the health office every day in need of a change of clothes and we could use your help!  How?

• Send your child (even the big ones) to school with an extra change of clothes if you are able.  They can live in their backpack, or stay in their locker until needed.  We're always the most comfortable in our own clothes, so this is a great option.
• If your child does need to borrow clothes from the office for the day, please wash and return the items as quickly as possible so that they can be available for another student in need.
• Do you have extra pants or shirts that your children have outgrown and can donate to the office?  Please send them in!  We could use shirts and pants in sizes 5 through 14/16.

If your child has a fall or spill resulting in wet clothes at school and we don't have something they can fit in, we may need to call you to bring some to school to get them through the end of the day.  Thanks for your help-we appreciate it!
