Hello, OA School Community,
Friday, February 9th, will be an extra busy and fun night on the main campus. It is opening night for SHREK the Musical, and the OFA Boys Basketball teams will host Seton Catholic.
Those coming to watch the basketball games are asked to park in the main lots in front of Owego Free Academy and can enter the left-hand set of doors into the OFA lobby near the cafeteria.
Those coming for SHREK the Musial will park in the main lot outside of Owego Apalachin Middle School near the Main Entrance to the complex. This will be where tickets can be purchased or redeemed for the show.
More information about SHREK the Musical is below.
Owego Apalachin Music Department will present Shrek the Musical on Friday, February 9th at 7:00 pm, Saturday, February 10th at 7:00 pm, and Sunday, February 11th at 2:00 pm.
Come see the Owego Apalachin School District students perform in this tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude, and over a dozen other fairy-tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek.

Dear Parent/Guardian:
Registrations for the 2024-2025 school year are now being accepted for the Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) program for families who reside in the district. A registration form and health certificate can be obtained at the OA website: https://www.oacsd.org/o/oe/page/upk-k-registration
Packets can also be obtained at Apalachin Elementary School, 405 Pennsylvania Avenue, Apalachin, or Owego Elementary School, 2 Sheldon Guile Blvd., Owego.
To be eligible for the program, children must live in the district and turn 4 on or before 12/1/24. Please note that a child may not ride the bus until their 4th birthday. Once a child reaches age 4, the district may be able to provide transportation both ways for full-day sessions. A child who will be 5 by 12/1/24 is not eligible for the program even if the parent chooses not to send the child to kindergarten. Please note that if a child has a significant toileting issue, he/she may not qualify for the program.
UPK sessions are:
Apalachin Elementary – full-day program
Owego Elementary – full-day program
The grant that funds this program stipulates that a child in the UPK program must attend the school that serves their residence.
If you are interested in your child being considered for this program, please complete the registration form and required documentation and return it to the building your child will attend.
In addition to the registration form, the following is required:
Copy of the child’s birth certificate
Two forms of proof of residency
Health certificate signed by your child’s physician.
Immunization record (polio, measles, diphtheria, mumps, rubella, varicella, and hepatitis B)
You may also complete a UPK registration form at Apalachin Elementary School and Owego Elementary School for the 2024-25 school year on February 6th, 7th, and 8th, 2024 at kindergarten registration.
Due to limited openings, it may be necessary to randomly select which students will be able to attend the program. Registrations will be accepted in the buildings until 9:00 AM on 3/28/24, at which time a random selection will be held at the district office if needed.
If your location or session fills up, you will have the opportunity to choose from other available sessions, if applicable. After all slots are filled, those not selected will be put on a waiting list by the date of receipt of a completed registration. If you have any questions regarding UPK, please contact me at 687-7307 x7041.
Sincerely,
Jill Bennedum
