Osky Strength & Speed – Summer 2026

Calling all 7th–12th grade athletes—it’s time to get better this summer! 💪

Our Summer Weight Lifting Program is built to help you:
✅ Get stronger
✅ Move faster
✅ Build confidence
✅ Compete at a higher level

No matter your sport or experience, this is where the work gets done.

Drivers Ed Information: The school’s summer program will be just ONE session, beginning May 28th and with a cost of $395. This program includes online classroom and in-person drive time. Drive times will be determined by the instructor(s). DETAILED instructions on the program can be found: on the commons window ledge or the Virtual Backpack on the district’s website. Forms and tuition/fees are due to Becki Gatton at OHS by May 21st, to guarantee a seat. Questions may be directed to Mr. Rob Campbell at: campbellr@oskycsd.org

Check out the school district’s website - and look for the virtual backpack - which is starting to fill up more activities for your student - especially summer activities and camps! It’s like a one stop shop! Check it out!

Commons vending machines: new information that has been shared with us is that our vending machines have to be in the OFF position ½ hour before and ½ hour after school begins and ends. This means BOTH machines will NOT be working between 7:30 AM and 4pm daily. Plan accordingly with your morning and after school snacks!

Cell phone policy: Hey Oskaloosa Middle School students, This year, the Iowa Legislature passed a new law (HF 782) that changes how personal devices can be used during the school day at every school in the state of Iowa.Here’s the bottom line:

  • No personal devices (phones, smartwatches, earbuds) during class time, passing time, or lunch.

  • You CAN use your Chromebook for schoolwork.

  • If a device is seen or heard, it will be taken to the office.

  • Put devices away, turned off, in locker during the school day. 

We want everyone to start strong, so check out the full policy and FAQ:

5/26 lunch: BBQ chicken drumstick with dinner roll and corn

5/27 lunch: cheese stuffed breadstick with marinara sauce and green beans

Plus there’s always pizza, Grill items, taco Bar, and On The Go foods with fresh fruits, vegetables and milk each day!
