Please join us in welcoming our newest group of educators joining the district! We are proud to welcome 15 new teachers who will be serving students at Clay, Coy, Fassett, Starr, Wynn, and Jerusalem.
Each educator brings unique talents, experiences and a commitment to helping our students learn, grow, and thrive. No matter the subject they teach or the grade level they serve, we look forward to the positive impact they will make across our district!
Please join us in welcoming these educators to OCS! 🦅

The district calendar is available at the link below, located on our website.

Last week, our district received six large boxes of shoes in a variety of sizes to support our students.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the Helping Hands of St. Louis Shoe Fest for providing this donation. We would also like to recognize Theresa Bugelholl and Sue LeMaitre, both proud Clay High School Class of 1982 alumni, for their generous donation and support of our students.

➤Superintendent’s Corner: A monthly message from me reflecting on district milestones, ongoing initiatives, and our vision moving forward.
➤ Update: Transparent, regular insights from our district treasurer regarding our finances, resources, and stewardship of public funds.
➤ Data Snapshot: Quick, easy-to-read metrics and updates highlighting academic achievement, attendance, growth, and key trends.
