Attention Elementary School Parents, If you have not filled out the yellow OST summer form and are in need of care this summer please make sure you fill those out and turn them into the school by May 8th. We had a bunch turned in already but wanted to make sure that if you still need care for this summer to fill it out and turn it in so we can get them added to our summer list. If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out and ask and we can help answer any questions you have. OST Staff!
