Our library is truly a magical place and that's all thanks to our amazing librarian, Ms Kate! ✨📚

We absolutely love seeing our students captivated during read-alouds, completely lost in wonderful stories. Recently, one class was inspired by a read-aloud about fascinating creatures, and then let their imaginations soar by building their own out of LEGOs or bringing them to life with their colorings!

Thank you for sparking so much creativity and a love for reading! We are so grateful for everything you do!

The 4th grade has been learning about storing and transferring energy between objects. We have learned that the more energy you put into something, the more energy you will get out. We built rubber band cars and tested them out by winding them up more or less to see how far they will go. For our final run we made a big circle and used a central point as a goal to reach. They all had a great time building and testing out their cars!

Dear Orleans Central Supervisory Union Community, After hearing from our road crews across our Orleans Central Supervisory Union towns and their concerns about the potential for black ice on our dirt roads later this afternoon, we are calling for an early dismissal today out of an abundance of caution. Preschool and middle schools will begin dismissal at 11:30 a.m. Elementary schools will begin dismissal at 11:35 a.m. The high school will dismiss at 11:45 a.m. We will not be having any afterschool activities. Please look for additional communication from principals, athletic directors, and coaches about any games that are scheduled for this evening. The safety of our students, staff, and families is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we make decisions based on changing road conditions. Please take care as you travel today, and thank you for your continued partnership and support. Warmly, Jackie Ramsay-Tolman - your OCSU Superintendent
