New Info. This Week

 

• School Commission Survey: Last week I sent out an email to Level 1 principals regarding a survey that will help OCS explore the ways in which our School Commissions are operating and how we might help to support their work. If your school is associated with a parish, please take a few moments to complete the survey with your School Commission chair. Thank you!
