News From Our Library

Daily reading is important for students to strengthen their literacy skills and we seek to provide a variety of reading materials for students to access at school. We also want to ensure that parents have the ability to review their child’s reading choices and provide input on the types of materials they can access.

If you would like to access your child’s district library account to view their checkouts, you can do so by logging in as your child through Classlink (our single-sign-on system available through the district website Quick Links). Once logged into Classlink, users have access to a listing of all of the books available to check out through our school libraries by clicking on Destiny Discover (physical books) or Sora (electronic books and audiobooks). Students can provide parents/guardians with their login information for Classlink.

Access to digital and print library books is determined by grade level (K-5 Juvenile/Elementary, 6-8 Young Adult/Middle School, 9-12 Adult/High School). If you would like to request restricted or extended access for your child(ren) that differs from this list, please complete this online form.

Questions about this information can be directed to library@oasd.org. All other inquiries should continue to be directed to your school libraries.

Weekend Warrior Packs & Shoes That Fit Programs

WEEKEND WARRIOR PACKS:
The Oconomowoc Area School District has established a partnership with “Blessings in a Backpack.” This organization provides Weekend Warrior Packs filled with non-perishable foods and snacks for school children across America for weekends during the school year. Please know that your participation is strictly confidential and voluntary.

How it works: Each Friday your child will receive their own Weekend Warrior Pack of weekend snacks. This will be given by Student Service Staff at the end of the school day on Fridays. Please click the link below to participate.

SHOES THAT FIT:

Meadow View is also partnering again with Shoes that Fit. An organization providing free footwear to your child(ren). If your child is in need of new shoes this fall and/or new winter boots for the upcoming winter, please click the link below.

We ask that all forms be submitted back no later than September 25th. Outside of that date please contact Katie Crull, School Social Worker, at 262-560-8009 or crullk@oasd.org

News from the District Business Office

Starting with the 2023-24 school year, you may notice a transaction fee added to your cart when making payments to your food service account or making purchases through our web store. For many years, the District has absorbed these fees. However, due to overall inflation of expenses and the rising cost of credit card processing fees, OASD will be including the fees with these types of online transactions. The fee is the exact amount charged to the District by the credit card processor. If you choose eCheck rather than a credit card for payment, the fees are slightly less.
