OHS Parents,
The Village of Oblong has partnered with the South Central Regional Planning and Development Commission to submit a Safe Routes to School grant for fiscal year 2023. This grant would help to repair sidewalks along Range St. that lead to Oblong High School. The grant hinges on community involvement and the questionnaire below is required for the application. Please take a moment to review and complete the application. We greatly appreciate your support of OHS!

This week we will be under an excessive heat warning so we will be keeping a close eye on the the temperatures. Please send your student to school with a water bottle so they can stay well hydrated and make sure they are dressed cool. If the temperature or heat index is high, the grade school will stay inside for recess.
Grade School Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures
Drop-Off:
-Please do not drop off your students before 7:45 a.m.
-Pre-K students are the only students that should be dropped off on the East side of the building.
Pick-Up:
-Please remember that Kindergarten and Pre-K students are not dismissed until 2:55.
-The west side of the main parking lot is reserved for Pre-K parents/guardians that are picking up their children. If you do not have a student in Pre-K, please stay in the pick-up line. Students will be brought out to you. Please do NOT get out of your vehicle.
-Please travel west on Missouri Street and enter the pick-up line on Jefferson Street. This keeps traffic from being backed up on Route 33.
5th Grade Parents and Guardians:
If your child is still interested in band, but they don’t have an instrument yet, below are a few places where you can get reliable band instruments.
1. The Music Shoppe - reliable instruments that can easily be taken in for repair if needed.
https://www.themusicshoppe.com/aerntschoolselect
2. Blue Potato - the music shop in downtown Oblong works closely with the Music Shoppe and has quality band instruments.
3. Ask Mr. Honn - if you think you have found an instrument that is not from the two sources above, make sure to ask Mr. Honn if he thinks it’s a good instrument! It can be frustrating for a child when their instrument fights them more than it helps them to become a better player!
Rental instruments that have already been ordered from The Music Shoppe will be available to those students on the first day of band.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Honn at dhonn@oblongschools.net
