Oyster River School Board News for August 3, 2022

The first day of school for students in Oyster River will be August 31, 2022.

The Grand Opening Ceremony for the new Oyster River Middle School building will be August 23, 2022 between 11:00 and 1:00 and will include ribbon-cutting, music performances, refreshments, and tours of the building. The entire community is invited.

Facilities projects have been in progress at all four schools over the summer. Some projects still in progress include partial air conditioning of the science wing and progress on tennis courts at ORHS, doors at Mast Way, and air handlers and retaining wall replacements at Moharimet. At ORMS, landscaping is in progress with some sod going down this week, the playground should be completed before school starts, murals have been painted inside, and preparation for turf field installation is under way with completion expected before winter.

Commemorative Bricks from the 1935 Oyster River Middle School are available. Please call the ORMS office (603-868-2820) to reserve one.

The ORCSD IT department is rolling out the Oyster River Care program to help families manage the cost of accidental damage to school-issued computers. Details will be included in fall registration materials.

As of July, most school board meetings will be held in the ORMS Concert Hall. The next meeting is August 17 at 7:00 pm. An easy way to contact the school board is to email orcsdsb@orcsd.org.
