The Transportation department is working this summer to route for the new School Year! For us to prepare for the 2024-2025 school year, we are asking ALL parents/guardians to fill out the following survey to indicate whether or not their child will OR will not need Transportation to begin the new school year. This process helps us to accurately plan bus routes. Typically, buses are routed under the assumption that all students will ride. On many routes, this ends up not being the case, and the bus times become inconsistent for those who are riding. Collecting this information ahead of time and routing students based on actual rider counts will help to keep bus pick-up and drop-off times more accurate as well as more consistent. We are asking all parents to please complete and submit the survey below.
There is an option to select that you DO NOT need transportation, and that information is just as valuable in developing routes as those who will need transportation. **Filling out this information does NOT lock you into your decision for the entire school year. We fully understand that circumstances can and will change throughout the school year. Please make a selection based on your needs for the START of the 2024-2025 School Year.
If, your transportation needs change, please contact the Transportation Office (687-7305) or via Let's Talk! - https://www.oacsd.org/page/lets-talk and we will be happy to work with you on the changes needed for your student. You do not need to 'Hold' a spot for your student(s) in the event they may need transportation at some point in the year. Please indicate on the form what their REGULAR needs will be.
***If your transportation needs do not fall in the categories listed in this form, please contact us at the Transportation Office so we can assist you. Thank you in advance for taking the time to submit your request.
It is requested that the schedule you choose for your student be maintained for a minimum of a Monday – Friday weekly schedule. Changes can be made for emergencies only.
Complete the Survey by clicking here: https://forms.gle/DbULWLw2EMKbMPR3A

OA Parents, Athletes, and Community,
I hope this letter finds you doing well, enjoying your time off over summer but also ready to continue the success from 2023-24. OA athletics had a great previous year with many teams adding Sectional titles, STAC titles and more importantly building relationships and lifelong skills through athletic competition. This letter is to provide you information on the upcoming Fall season with important information and dates.
