Good Evening OA School Community,
We hope everyone is just as excited as we are for the first day of school tomorrow, Wednesday, September 7th, 2022.
Some last-minute reminders and updates:
Transportation - https://www.oacsd.org/page/transportation
Please be patient with OA Transportation tomorrow and for the first few days. Bus route timing always needs to be ironed out, and first-day excitement, photos, and more also cause delays.
Families can track bus routes by using the Versatrans MyStop App.
Food Service - https://www.rockoncafe.org/owego-apalachin_home.aspx
Any money students have on breakfast/lunch accounts stays in that student's account. The change to EZ School Pay will be the new way for families to check balances and add funds.
If your child doesn’t have funds in their account, they will still be able to get their meals. Each account will maintain the balance due, and a deduction will be made once funds are added.
Students can pay with cash at any time.
Apply for Free/Reduced Meals. Applications can be mailed by request.
Athletics - https://www.oacsd.org/page/athletics
Modified sports begin tomorrow. Practice and game times are located on Schedule Galaxy.
Welcome Back video message from OACSD Superintendent Green: https://youtu.be/YKBa6R2O0uI
Please contact your child’s building directly with any questions or use Let’s Talk! to ensure the appropriate district personnel receive your message and can provide you with an answer.

OA UPDATE: The district's food service department, Rock On Cafe, is moving to EZ School Pay for student meal accounts. As a new district using EZ School Pay, we've been notified that families won't be able to see or access OACSD on the app or website until sometime next week. Details on EZ School Pay can be found here: https://5il.co/1fki0. The free/reduced meal application and other food service information can be found here: https://www.oacsd.org/article/808363. Breakfast and Lunch menus can be found in the dining section on our app and website for each school building and on the main Food & Nutrition page on our website. The menu for September is available now: https://www.rockoncafe.org/owego-apalachin_home.aspx Please use Let’s Talk! for any questions you may have. Select Food & Nutrition as your topic here: https://www.oacsd.org/o/ae/page/lets-talk #OACommunity #OAPride #OATradition
