47 Questions

Kids Oasis enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year is now open.

1) Important updates about the attendance policy:

The way attendance is being recorded for all 21st Century Community Learning Center programs (including KO), is changing. Attendance will be recorded based on the amount of hours the student attends KO, instead of days. For us to count your student as present for the day, they will need to remain at KO until at least 4:30, preferably 5:00pm. We understand that appointments, activities, etc. come up, but be mindful that picking your child up prior to 4:30 will result in them being counted absent.
