Open Classroom Community News
The Open Classroom Community News (OCCN) is our school community newsletter published approximately every 2 weeks during the school year by a volunteer parent. I hope this is a useful communication tool for our community. The newsletter is at its best when we get lots of contributions about the goings-on at the Open Classroom. Please feel free to submit photos, articles, announcements and important dates from, staff, parents, and students to oc.communitynews@gmail.com. Wishing you all the best this school year!
