The Transportation Department is working this summer to route for the new School Year! For us to prepare for the 2026-2027 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 2026-2027 School Year.
If your transportation needs change, please contact the Transportation Office (687-7305) or via Onflo (formerly Let's Talk!) https://www.oacsd.org/page/onflo-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 into 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.
Registration for the District and Tioga County Boys & Girls Club After School Programs will open on Monday, August 10th. More information will follow. Please fill out the survey based on your plans for attending these programs. If something changes after registration, we can update your Transportation Plan accordingly.

My Ride K-12
The district will once again be using the My Ride K-12 app. Transportation information, including bus number and pick-up times, will be released in the My Ride K-12 app as we get closer to the start of the school year. The app can be downloaded from the Apple and Android app stores.
To learn more about My Ride K-12 and the other technology we use to help us safely and efficiently transport our students, click the following link. Students/families new to the district can follow the instructions here to create accounts for the first time.

We were thrilled to welcome U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer to our district to celebrate a massive win for our students, adult learners, and the entire Tioga County community!
Thanks to Senator Schumer’s incredible advocacy, $811,000 in federal funding was secured to help launch the brand-new Tioga Regional Career and Technical Education Center—a Broome-Tioga BOCES satellite campus in Owego.
By converting one of our current maintenance facilities into a state-of-the-art educational hub, we are bringing life-changing opportunities directly to our backyard.
What this means for our community:
Goodbye, long commutes: Currently, Tioga County students lose up to 2 hours of valuable learning time every single day traveling to the BOCES Binghamton Campus.
Serving all ages: The center will provide hands-on career and technical training to 150 high school students during the day and 50 adult community members at night.
High-demand career paths: Programs expanding into advanced manufacturing, energy storage, hospitality, agriculture, and healthcare.
"This funding is a tremendous win for our region, strengthening our ability to build a skilled local talent pipeline and support the long-term growth of Tioga County and the Southern Tier." — Dr. Corey Green, OACSD Superintendent.
Senator Schumer called the new facility a "win-win for workforce development and the Tioga County economy," and we couldn't agree more.

Dear School Community,
As we transition into the summer break, we are excited to take the next steps in our District Capital Project. These upgrades will greatly improve our facilities for students, staff, and community members.
Because several major projects kick off this week, there will be immediate impacts on campus traffic, parking, and facility access. Please review the breakdown of upcoming work below.
AES Updates
Cafeteria Renovation: Work is scheduled to begin on July 1, 2026.
Playground Upgrades: Delivery of the new playground equipment has been slightly delayed. It is now expected to arrive in late summer or early fall. We will share updates on installation timelines as soon as they are confirmed.
Owego Free Academy Updates (OFA & OAMS Campus)
Work on the athletic field officially started today, June 22, 2026. In the large OFA lot near the Island Field.
Pool Locker Rooms & Bathrooms: Renovation work is underway. To maintain facility availability, locker rooms will be remodeled one at a time.
Critical Traffic, Parking & Safety Adjustments (Starting June 23)
To ensure the safety of our community and construction crews, major safety fencing will be installed starting tomorrow, Tuesday, June 23. Please note the following closures:
Fencing will be installed from the island to the main building. The front of OFA is completely shut down to traffic and pedestrians.
Pool Parking Lot Closed: This lot will be entirely closed and used as a construction staging area. Community members using the pool should plan to park in the main lot at the middle school and walk around the building to the pool entrance.
Campus Traffic Routing: Because of these closures, all campus traffic must utilize the OAMS parking lot for entry, exit, and parking. This includes any use of the stadium.
Safety Reminder: Construction zones will be clearly marked and fenced off. For your safety, please do not enter any restricted areas and use extra caution when driving through the OAMS parking lot.
We appreciate your patience, flexibility, and cooperation as we work to improve our schools. We will continue to keep you updated as these projects progress throughout the summer and fall!

“My favorite part about art is that you don’t have to do just one thing; you can make your own, and you don’t have to copy others. You can think about what you like and what your personality is, and it’s just for fun. You can talk to your friends and make weird things, and it doesn’t have to be perfect.” Third grader Lennyn Flint spoke to us about how important art is to her and what she’s able to take away from it. Learn more about Lennyn as she answers four questions on Showcase Arts TV. https://youtu.be/jaq8kNuupXg

Apalachin Elementary School Families,
Tomorrow, Monday, June 22, is officially the last day of school! Please note that this is a half-day for all students, and dismissal will be at 11:00 AM.
Because everyone will be leaving at the same time, please review the important traffic and safety reminders below to help make our final pickup of the year as smooth as possible:
Expect Traffic Delays: Traffic on Pennsylvania Avenue will be significantly heavier than usual around 11:00 AM. Please plan your arrival accordingly.
Traffic Control On-Site: School staff and local police will be stationed along the route, directing traffic to ensure a safe and efficient dismissal.
Stay in Your Vehicle: For the safety of all students and staff, please remain in your car and follow the directional prompts from traffic monitors.
Keep the Line Moving: Once your child is safely loaded into your vehicle, please move through the pickup line promptly so other families can do the same.
Thank you so much for your incredible patience, cooperation, and support throughout this school year. We hope you and your family have a wonderful, safe, and relaxing summer break!
