Weather Woes -
If Weather causes school cancellations, we follow West Ottawa’s transportation schedule. If they close, we close. If they call a 2-hour delay, we will not have preschool or three-school. When it’s wet, cold, snowy or icy and we are at school, be sure the kids are equipped for it! We also suggest they have extra clothes in their locker, in case things get wet while playing. Thanks!
Seeking SOCS Board Members:
Do you know someone you think would be a dynamic SOCS board member? Would you like to serve our community by being on the Board? If the answer is “yes” to either of these questions, please contact principal Bart Den Boer,
bartdenboar@sochristian.org
TODAY.
Thanks!
