Dear Oak Creek High School Parents/Guardians,



As the first quarter comes to an end, so do many of our Fall sports and activities. This is a great time for students to transition to a winter sport and/or a new club or activity. We encourage students to become involved in at least one school-sponsored activity, especially during the cold winter months. Studies show a positive correlation between student involvement in their school community and an increase in grade point average. Students are also reminded to set quarter two goals as grades become finalized in January. Achieving personal goals and developing personal academic skills will not only assist students while they are in high school, but also better prepare them for later success in college and/or their career endeavors.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

In partnership,

Attention Seniors:

Seniors should be completing their college applications. Colleges have priority deadlines for applications. Consider having all applications completed by Thanksgiving! Families should also be filling out the FAFSA - even if you do not accept what is offered to you, some colleges will use the FAFSA to determine scholarships they will offer to students. Make sure you are looking at our website for scholarships. Students can also apply to scholarships at the colleges they applied to. See our website for information.

Attention Juniors:

Junior year is the time to go on college visits. Families arrange these directly with the colleges. Colleges will offer three types of visits:

• Virtual - If you can't go in person, this may be a good option. Just be aware that colleges will show you exactly what they want you to see.
• Campus tour - This is a great, fast option. Often around 1.5 hours, this gives families an opportunity to walk around campus and learn some information about the school. 
• Open House - Colleges all call these different names, but the experience is similar. Students and families are on campus for the majority of the day listening to an admission talk, talking with academic departments, learning about opportunities on campus (e.g., athletics, study abroad, honor colleges, etc.), and taking a campus tour.

Schedule the visits directly on the colleges' website and then fill out the Academic and Career Field Trip form to be excused from school. College visits are most popular in the fall and the spring with less visits happening over December and January. It is also important to get on campus when the college students are in session.

Knight Skills

Students in grades 9-11 are, once again, being taught our Knight Skills lessons. These lessons focus on:

• mindfulness - being aware of what one is thinking and feeling and being present in the moment without worrying about what was, or what could be
• distress tolerance - helping students to manage intense feelings and situations in a way that doesn't make situations worse and teaching them how to problem solve
• emotional regulation - teaching students how to identify and effectively cope with their emotions
• interpersonal effectiveness - teaching students how to effectively and respectfully ask for what they want

AP Exams

*NEW FOR 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR*: All AP exam fees were due in Infinite Campus by October 31. Any students with unpaid fees by this date were dropped from their AP exam. Students who are dropped from the exam but wish to re-add it must let Ms. Tenekejieva know ASAP. 

• Students who re-add their exam and pay the exam fee on Infinite Campus after October 31, 2025, but before November 14, 2025 (the final AP exam ordering deadline), will only be charged the exam fee ($99). 
• Students who re-add the exam and pay the fees in Infinite Campus AFTER November 14, 2025 (final AP exam ordering deadline) will be charged the exam fee ($99) plus a $40 late fee. 

If you are taking the Macroeconomics (semester 2 classes) exam, the fee will be assessed in Infinite Campus on February 1, 2026, and is due on February 26, 2026. 

Please see THIS LETTER for additional information regarding AP fees for the 2024-2025 school year. 

Contact Ms. Tenekejieva with questions (p.tenekejieva@ocfsd.org).

Student & Family Assistance Program -

Caring for a child is one of life’s greatest challenges—and its greatest rewards. That said, recognizing when your child may be struggling with their mental health is one of the most important, and sometimes overwhelming, responsibilities of parenting. It can be frightening and isolating to notice changes in your child’s mood or behavior and feel unsure of how to help, but you are not alone. Your Student & Family Assistance Program is available with resources, guidance, and compassionate support to help both you and your child navigate these challenges together. If you find yourself feeling concerned and uncertain about what to do next, please reach out to your Student & Family Assistance Program at 800-236-3231.
