OASD Learning Schedule for OASD Students after Winter Break

OASD Intermediate Schools will continue with the hybrid purple/gold learning strategy after Winter Break from Monday, January 4 through Friday, January 15. Oconomowoc High School will also continue with the hybrid purple/gold strategy during this time. Our elementary students will return to in-person learning at school in the same cohort learning model they have been using all school year. The District will share additional information with families about student learning the week of January 11.

This allows us the time to have at least three dashboard updates (January 5, 8, and 12) to get an idea of the impact of Christmas and New Year's gatherings on both our internal and community COVID-19 case numbers, similar to the approach taken with the Thanksgiving Break. Our goal continues to be to provide as much face-to-face time as possible while also maintaining some stability and consistency for our students and staff. Returning from the Winter Break with the same strategy until at least the end of the high school's Term 2 adds to that consistency.

Student breakfast and lunch will continue to be free because of the USDA sponsored free meal program.
