Spiritual Theme: Stand Firm: Put on the Full Armor of God

August/September Theme Song: The Battle Belongs to the Lord CH#732

August/September Theme Verse: Ephesians 6:10-12 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

JMC Access to view hot lunch and tuition:

Families can check the balance of your hot lunch and tuition accounts through JMC. You can find this information by going to the OCCS website, selecting 'Parents' and ‘JMC’ or click here: JMC Parent Login. Your login information is the same you used for online registration. Please contact the office with questions.

Silage Piles:

Reminder: Silage pile season is coming up...sign up links will be sent out when we have more information.

Food Service Reminders:

A few reminders regarding our food service program. The cost for a student lunch is $3.10 per day. We encourage families to add enough money to your account for at least 1 month's worth of meals for each of your students. If you have 1 student at OCCS, this would be approximately $62 per month ($9.00 for Reduced Cost), or with 3 students, $186 monthly. There is also a possibility of additional charges for your student when taking dessert ($.50), or additional servings on milk ($.45), Fruit/Vegetable ($.25) or main dish ($1.00). Your lunch balance and students account activity can be viewed on JMC using the website or the app. Payments can be made to OCCS Food Service by cash, check or Venmo (please list Food Service in the memo). We are asking for a minimum of $10 per transaction to reduce paperwork. 


We encourage families who qualify to apply for Free or Reduced meals. Title 1 funding is determined by the number of families we have that qualify for these meals. To apply, log into the 2024-25 school year in JMC and select "Register for 2024-2025." Click on "Application for Educational Benefits" and fill out the requested information in JMC to submit the form to OCCS. Thank you!

Society Meeting:

Join us on September 16 for our annual society meeting. You'll have the chance to elect board members and get updates on school activities, including a recap of the past year, upcoming goals, the budget, staff recognition, and more. We look forward to seeing you there!
