Happy Short Holiday Week OES Families,

Here is a quick run-down on this weeks events:

Tuesday, December 18, 2018 OES Christmas Choral Concert

There will be two performances, the first one will be at 10:00am where we encourage all the families on the early bird (AM track) attend and the second one will be at 1:00pm, and we encourage the families on the later gator track (PM track) attend.   Of course you are welcome to attend any or both performances that are convenient for you. If possible, please don’t check your student out after the performances so we will have everyone here to perform in both concerts.

Students are encouraged to wear Christmas Sweaters

The following information is for families in the Alpine School District:

We have recently become aware of two things our community partner, United Way, is doing to help families with limited internet access:

1. Computer Labs. Computer labs in designated public libraries throughout the county are staffed at specific times with volunteers who can offer assistance in both English and Spanish.

2. Adopt a Computer. Low income adults can earn a desktop computer by completing 10 hours of time in one of the computer lab help sessions. Computers come from donations and are wiped and cleaned before being given out.
