Just a reminder to watch for children and school buses beginning on Thursday August 7th.

OCMS boys basketball tryouts are coming up! Tryouts for grades 5-8 will be held August 11-12 from 4:30-6:00 PM at the OCHS gym. A current physical is required to participate. Let's go Owls!

Our K-2 and 3-5 reading and writing teachers took part in a curriculum-based professional learning session to strengthen their classroom practices. Thank you to PRI and our school coordinator, Felecia Pittman, for making this opportunity possible.

The final touches are being completed on all our facilities as we prepare for the arrival of students next week. Thank you to our custodial and maintenance staff who have worked all summer to ensure our facilities are cleaned and prepared for our students.

For the first time in 43 years, Owsley Elementary will begin the year without Miss Peggy Gentry. To honor her memory, and her love for the children, the family has generously donated school supplies to start our year. We would like to thank them for their kindness.

Our K-5 math teachers participated in an Envision curriculum deep dive to strengthen instruction and assessment practices. A big thank you to PRI and school coordinator, Felecia Pittman, for making this learning opportunity possible for our staff.

Dear Families, We are excited to announce that we adopted a new form of school-to-home communication at Owsley County School District called ParentSquare. This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents/guardians and students informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with our schools. It provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, students, and parents to communicate. School, grade level and classroom information will now be sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text. For even more convenience, download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices). Your login will be the email or phone number you have on file with your child's school. Students can log in using their school Google account. If you're unsure what contact information is on file or need to update it, please contact the school. Here is a video link for parents: https://player.vimeo.com/video/678443118?h=eef27f8b26
