Can you believe this week means its been a month since school has started? And the vibes have been good, ya'll! The students are settling into routines, diving into lessons, and building community through advisory, clubs, and recess. Its been great to have our building so full of learning and laughter!
Our first year as a middle school has come with some positive changes. For example, our students have a wider variety of clubs to choose from, they're able to choose their own electives, and can switch between lunch and recess at their own pace. Ask your child about their clubs and advisory program.
We're excited to see what this year will bring but we're already off to a great start and we know more great things are coming our way. See you at the Harvest Dinner! Happy School Year!
We hope to see you all at the Harvest Dinner on September 17th from 4:00-6:00! The teachers will be hosting a presentation for families from 5:00-5:30 on our academic policies for all grades. We're looking forward to seeing you!

Our staff kicked off inservice this week with a powerful challenge—working together to find the right path across without speaking! 🧩✨ It reminded us that communication isn’t always about words—it’s about trust, collaboration, and supporting one another.
We’re excited to carry these lessons into the school year as we continue building strong connections for our students and community! 💙🐺
Our staff kicked off inservice with energy, teamwork, and lots of school spirit! Nothing says ready for a new year quite like seeing everyone in their Albany gear, united and excited for the journey ahead.
We are so proud of this amazing team and the passion they bring to our students and community. Here’s to a year filled with learning, connection, and Wolf Pride! 🏫✨

🚍 **Dear OCSU Families** — This summer, our principals have been working with Butler’s Bus Service to create a transportation plan that is safe, efficient, and fair for all students.
We know no plan is perfect, but your input will help us start strong on the first day of school! Please take a few minutes to fill out our short survey. If you have students in more than one school, you can fill it out more than once.
📄 Need a paper copy? Contact your school office.
