Dear Oregon Community,
Communication is at the heart of a strong, connected school community. Whether you are a parent, a staff member, a student, or a local resident, you play a vital role in the success of Oregon City Schools. We created OCS Connect to ensure you have a dedicated, reliable window into everything happening across our district each month.
What You Can Expect Each Month:
Every issue of OCS Connect is designed to keep you informed, engaged and up-to-date. You’ll find:
Superintendent’s Corner: A monthly message from me reflecting on district milestones, ongoing initiatives, and our vision moving forward.
Treasurer’s Update: Transparent, regular insights from our district treasurer regarding our finances, resources, and stewardship of public funds.
District Data Snapshot: Quick, easy-to-read metrics and updates highlighting academic achievement, attendance, growth, and key trends.
Important Dates & Reminders: A clear look at upcoming school events, district deadlines, and community gatherings so you never miss a beat.
Spotlights & Celebrations: Stories celebrating the achievements, hard work, and creativity of our students and staff.
Our goal is simple: to keep our lines of communication open and build an even stronger partnership between our schools and the community we serve. We hope you find this publication informative, uplifting, and valuable.
Thank you for your continued support of Oregon City Schools.
Together We Are One,
Jeff Straka
Superintendent
