Principal's Message

Hello Families,

We are looking forward to seeing you at Meet and Greet two weeks from today! Meet and Greet is an opportunity for students to drop off materials, tour classrooms, and meet their teacher. Family Meet and Greet times are assigned below, but please know you can come outside of those times if that works in your family schedule. Spacing things out just helps to create a better experience for everyone.

Meet and Greet Times Assigned By Last Name.

4:00 p.m.: Student last names A-M
5:00 p.m.: Student last names N-Z

Parking – Please park in either our visitor parking (South lot off of Whalen Dr.) and enter through door 1 or in our staff parking lot (North lot off of Schumacher Dr.) and enter through door 7. You may also park on the street (either Schumacher or Whalen) and walk up as well.

We understand that not everyone will be able to join us during this event and that is okay. Materials can be brought with your child on the first day of school.

Stay Connected

More than ever, home and school communication will be important. Here is how we can stay connected:

Whole school information will be shared by E-mail, the Meadow View website, and this very newsletter (sent out on Tuesdays).
The Family Resources tab on the school website is a valuable resource as well.
Classroom information will be shared by individual teachers. Please read the notes/emails and connect via Seesaw. Be sure to check any take-home folders from the classroom, as some information is best sent with old-fashioned paper.

“Like” us on Facebook, "follow" us on Instagram for a social media experience.
Seesaw now has an all-school announcement feature that we used at times last year and will use again to connect in various ways. It is great for quick reminders, PTO news, and more!

There will also be times when you will need to call the school. Here are the important phone numbers:

Attendance (262) 560-8002
Health Room (262) 560-8003
Main Office (262) 560-8005 or 8006

Finally, classroom teacher information will be available on Family Access on August 22 one week from today.

Paws Up,

Mr. Schreiber

Volunteer Background Check Form

zoom_out_map

Anyone who plans on volunteering in the school/classroom or chaperoning a field trip is required to fill out a background check. These background checks are good for 3 years.

The Oconomowoc Area School District is now using SecureVolunteer to process criminal background checks for volunteers. SecureVolunteer is a completely web-based/paperless system. BIB takes personal data security and privacy very seriously and has instituted safeguards to protect personal data.

To complete your criminal background check, please visit your school’s webpage:

VOLUNTEER BACKGROUND CHECKS LINK

You will receive e-mails from clientservices@bib.com when you submit your information to SecureVolunteer AND when your background check has been completed.

Thank you for volunteering in the Oconomowoc Area School District. We appreciate YOUJ

Birthday Celebrations

Birthday Parties: If you are planning a party at home and wish to invite class members, please phone the invitations or mail them directly to the home rather than handing them out at school. Please do not send balloon bouquets or flowers to children at school. If balloons or flowers are sent, they will be kept in the office and given to the child at the end of the day.

Birthday Treats: Due to the growing number of allergies and health concerns for our students, all OASD elementary schools are asking families to not send in food items to celebrate a child’s birthday. We take the safety of our students seriously, and we appreciate your cooperation and understanding. Children are recognized in a variety of ways during the school day in honor of their birthday.
