Dear School of the Osage Students, Families, and Community-
 
As conversations continue to be held regarding the academic calendar for the 2022-2023 school year, the draft which is nearly identical to this year’s seems to be the front runner.  The BOE and administration understand that families, staff and students would like clarity on this for planning purposes.  We are still on track to get the student calendar approved at the February 28th Board Meeting.
