OCSU Faculty, Staff, Families and Students;
Please be aware that Monday, April 8, 2024 will be an Early Release Day for the staff and students of OCSU (Towns of Albany, Barton, Brownington, Glover, Irasburg, Orleans and Westmore) so that they may have the opportunity to witness the Solar Eclipse with their families and friends! We will follow our normal early release times for each school.
If you have questions, please call your child's school building administrator for details on release times.
The OCSU Faculty and Staff will remain at school until 1:00 p.m. on April 8th to ensure all children have been picked up by parents, walked safely home or have boarded our buses.
We wish everyone a safe afternoon! Enjoy this once in a lifetime experience!
I want to publicly thank our LRUEMS Board, LRUHS Board and OCSU Board for providing this option for staff, students and families!
Take Care! Ms. Chamberlin
