“As full of spirit as the month of May, and as gorgeous as the sun in Midsummer.” - William Shakespeare

As we enter the final stretch of the school year, we recognize that this season brings a mix of excitement and a need for renewed academic focus for our students. Juggling final exams, major projects, and various end-of-year commitments requires resilience and organization.

We ask that you continue to partner with us by emphasizing the importance of daily attendance and finishing the year strong academically. You can support your child’s success by helping them maintain a dedicated routine, consistent study habits, submitting all assignments on time, and reducing screen time are proven ways to allow for better concentration. Open communication is also vital, so please remind your child to reach out to their teachers with any questions or concerns. We want to help ensure our students end the school year with confidence and pride in their accomplishments.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership in your child’s education!

AP Testing

AP testing begins on Monday, May 4th, and concludes on Friday, May 15th. Please click here for the exam schedule and testing locations. Please make sure to check the Daily Announcements during AP Testing for exam reminders. Any students testing with accommodations should look out for an email from Ms. Tenekejieva or Mrs. Moore with room assignments and materials to bring.

All students must bring the following on test day:

School or government-issued ID
Fully charged Chromebook and Charger
College Board account login information***
Pencils and pens with blue or black ink
Approved calculator (if necessary)
A ruler or straight edge for AP Physics exams

***Students will need to log into their College Board account on the Bluebook testing app to access their exams on exam day. Students must know their College Board account email and password (Passwords saved on devices will not work!). Students can access the Bluebook testing app before test day and take practice exams to prepare. They should ensure that they can log in successfully and see all their exams on the home screen.

If students need to reschedule an exam date, please contact Ms. Tenekejieva as soon as possible. If a student wants to drop their exam, they must complete this Google form to indicate their intent and acknowledge the $40 late fee. Students who do not show up for their exam and have not arranged to take it during the late testing window will automatically be assigned a $40 unused exam fee in Infinite Campus.

Summer Learning with IXL

Did you know your student has access to IXL all summer long? IXL is an online program that provides personalized practice in reading, writing, and math. It is intended to be a small, but habitual practice tool to help students build skills at their own pace.

Just 15-20 minutes a few times a week can make a BIG difference in keeping skills sharp and preventing summer learning loss. Students can log in through Clever and continue working on their recommended skill plans or choose areas they’d like to strengthen!

Looking for an easy way to get started?

IXL offers a Summer Boost Skill Plan, which lays out four weeks of quick, focused practice spotlights that highlight essential skills for each grade level. It’s designed to be manageable and effective, giving students a clear “day-by-day” path instead of having to choose skills on their own.

For example, rising 9th graders might work on skills like identifying synonyms, analyzing counterclaims, drawing inferences, or converting between decimals and fractions --all by taking a few minutes to tackle some of these short, daily practice sessions.

Encourage your student to stick with it this summer. Small, consistent practice leads to big growth!

Reporting Attendance through the Parent Portal - Reminders and Clarification

Students who are leaving school due to illness are required to go to the Health Room to be checked out. Parents cannot request a student to leave school due to illness through the Parent Portal. If your child calls you to leave school due to illness, they should report to the Health Room. Requests by parents to release students early due to illness through Infinite Campus will be denied.

**If parents need to provide a short notice for a student to leave early, best practice is for the parent to call the Attendance Office rather than using the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus.**

Locker Clean-Out

All hall lockers must be completely emptied immediately after the last exam on Thursday, June 11, 2026. If an emergency or absence occurs, please call the school to ensure the safety of your belongings. The school is not responsible for any items left in lockers after this time. Immediately after the last exam on the final day of school in the Spring, lockers are cleaned by the maintenance staff and items remaining are either donated to charity or disposed of. Students (Sophomores and Juniors) returning in the Fall should leave their locks on their lockers (as shown in the picture) over the Summer.

All Freshmen should take their locks home from the NGC and utilize them next year when they are at the 10-12 building.
Graduating Seniors, clean your lockers out and take your locks home.

Unified Sports

Join us for our final Unified Sports K-12 Recreation Day of the 25-26 School Year! We will be hosting a Track and Field Event on Sunday, June 7th, 2026 from 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM on the Football Field. This is an event for Students with Special Abilities to have the opportunity to come run track, as well as, field events with OCHS Students who are apart of Unified Sports Club. Please complete the sign up form by 5/31/2026 so we can get a headcount for the event. We hope to see you all there! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Madelyn Sonsalla, at m.sonsalla@ocfsd.org.

Before signing up, please note:

One parent/guardian must remain present at all time.

Mountain Biking

Did you know you could join a mountain biking club team? Root River Youth Cycling Club is a USA Cycling Club open to all students K-12. For students interested in participating in WI NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association) we support the school districts of Greendale, Greenfield, Franklin, Whitnall, Oak Creek, St. Francis, Cudahy, or South Milwaukee. Come to our informational meeting on Monday, May 11th at 6:30PM at the Hales Corners Public Library. There, you can learn more about the club, meet the coaches and current athletes, and have the option to "try-it-out" at a mini-practice. Bring along your bike or borrow one of ours for the try-it-out event associated with the meeting. Don't forget a helmet! Learn how to be a better biker, improve your fitness, make friends, and have fun! Learn more by visiting www.rrycc.org or contact info@RootRiverYouthCycling.org for more info.
