We hope everyone is having a safe NTI day today and wanted to send you a separate flyer on our OAS Love Week next week. Please take a look at the flyer here.
Here are the guidelines for the Twin Day next Friday.
Students will bring home a permission slip for Sister Feud & Twin day when we return from NTI.
All after school athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Wednesday. If there are any changes to the YMCA CEP program, families will be notified by YMCA CEP.
Take a look at the February edition of the Owl Newsletter.
Thank you to our JCPS school counselors for all you do!
As always, we encourage everyone to use caution and their best judgment when traveling to and from school.
We appreciate your continued support of our students and staff throughout JCPS.
JCPS will operate on a 2-hour delay tomorrow, Monday Feb, 2nd.
Please note that OAS will start at 10:40 am and OAS will not be open to students until 10:10 AM. Please do not drop student car riders off before 10:10 AM.
DELAYED START| All JCPS schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Monday, February 2, 2026. Early Childhood classes are canceled for the day. All after school athletic events and extracurricular activities remain as scheduled. There is no change to dismissal times.
A delayed start will allow students to be at bus stops and walking to school in the daylight.
These conditions have led us to utilize another Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) day on Friday, January 30. Students should follow their school-specific NTI instructions. NTI days are recognized as standard instructional days and will not extend the school calendar.
All athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Note: Updates may take up to 24 hours to show up in the app.
We’ll share an update once the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
OAS NTI Reminders: As we move into day 1 of NTI we wanted to send another reminder of student expectations during NTI. Students should answer one question from each category of the NTI Choice Board 2 packet today and tomorrow. If NTI is extended into a day 3 on Friday, you will also use NTI Choice Board 2 for that day.
We ensured before we left on Friday that all students were given an NTI Choice Board #2. If for some reason, your student does not have a packet at home, they can view the NTI Choice board at this link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pHMDe5uiUeYndH4_bNrV_1FvnxbS744o/view?usp=sharing
While our crews report that most main roads are in good shape, many side streets and neighborhood roads across the county remain hazardous. Due to these lingering conditions and low temperatures, we believe transitioning to NTI is the safest choice for our students and staff.
Students should follow their school’s established NTI protocols. NTI days are recognized as standard instructional days and will not extend the school calendar.
All after school athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Wednesday and Thursday. If there are any changes to the YMCA CEP program, families will be notified by YMCA CEP.
Thank you for your continued patience and flexibility as we navigate these winter conditions. Please stay warm and safe.
Please take a moment to look at our reading challenge. Students can log in to the Sora App and read while we are all at home. This is a great opportunity to encourage reading at home.

OAS NTI Reminders: As we get closer to the weekend it looks more and more likely that winter weather will impact next week. If that is the case, we want students to be prepared for NTI.
Before winter break, we sent home new NTI packets (pink) we have also offered replacement packets this week to students if they need one. If for some reason your student does not have a packet at home they can view the NTI Choice board at this link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pHMDe5uiUeYndH4_bNrV_1FvnxbS744o/view?usp=sharing
