Dear Orleans Central Supervisory Union Community, After hearing from the National weather service early this morning, and after talking with them about all of our our OCSU towns, I’ve learned we are going to have snow squalls this afternoon, reducing viability and creating hazardous driving conditions. For this reason, I am calling an early dismissal today.. 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 and weather conditions. Please take care as you travel later today, and thank you for your continued understanding and support. Warmly, Jackie Ramsay-Tolman - your OCSU Superintendent

Welcome back to school tomorrow!
Dear OCSU,
As we get ready to return from our two-week holiday break, I’ve been thinking about our entire learning community. I know many of you are excited and ready to be back in our buildings tomorrow, and some may still wish we had a little more time before the school day routines resume, but coming back after a break can be a bright spot for all of us.
I’m sure that students, families, and staff alike have hopes and goals for the second part of the year. The first few days after break are a chance to reconnect, find our rhythm, and support one another. Be sure to take the time to connect and enjoy this time as we reestablish our routines and learning.
I’ll be visiting all of our schools this week and can’t wait to see many of you as we launch this next part of the year with the same energy, optimism, and support that carried us through the first part of the year. Thank you for everything you do!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow.
Warmly,
Jackie Ramsay-Tolman
