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:
