On Wednesday, October 1, Oak Harbor Public Schools will send out a Federal Impact Aid Program Survey Form in ParentSquare. It’s quick, confidential, and absolutely essential that every family completes this form as soon as it is received.

As electronic devices play a crucial role in student learning, we require all families to complete the OHPS Electronic Device Parent/Student Agreement form for each student on an annual basis.

While we understand that our Elementary and Intermediate students may not regularly take devices home, we ask that all families submit this form. This is to ensure that if a student needs to check out a device due to illness or homework activities, the necessary arrangements can be made smoothly. 

Our online referral window for the Highly Capable (HiCAP) program is open to all students in grades K-11 from October 1 to October 31. Anyone can refer a student for evaluation - a parent, guardian, teacher, or even the student themselves. The digital referral form can be found on our district website beginning October 1 or by contacting the Teaching & Learning Department.

Weather on our island can be unpredictable in the fall and winter. When weather, road, or school conditions result in a schedule change, we inform families through phone call, text message, email, social media, and our district website.

Please review your Skyward information and make sure a cell phone number is listed in the second phone number line. Be sure to report any mistakes to your child's school.

Oak Harbor Intermediate teachers Mrs. Thomason and Ms. Craven take crosswalk duty very seriously — safety first, fashion second!

Our district partners with the City of Oak Harbor's Safe Routes to School program to support families with appropriate walking paths, bike routes, bus routes, and traffic control.

Thank you to our staff, students, and community for being mindful of our buses, walkers, and each other during pick-up and drop-off times at our schools! If you have any questions regarding walking and biking routes, please call our staff at 360.279.5570. 

North Whidbey Middle School Leadership students planned a successful students vs. staff volleyball game this week. For the first time in four years staff were victorious! Students lost 10-6 and 11-4 then won 9-8 in a competitive third game.
