🎅Winter Break is just around the corner, friends! 🌲
Mark your calendars: We're officially off from December 23rd to January 7th.
That's plenty of time for hot cocoa, snowball fights (maybe), and making memories with loved ones.
What are your plans for this winter wonderland of free time? Binge-watching your favorite shows? Traveling to see family? Or simply catching up on some well-deserved rest?
Whatever your plans are, have a safe and happy holiday break. We look forward to welcoming our students back on Tuesday, January 7th, 2025! #WEareOC

OC Families,
We are excited to announce that Owen County Schools has partnered with the Drug Coalition to offer new Car Rider Tags for every family in our district PreK-8th grade this upcoming school year! The tags have already been pre-assigned to each household and will be passed out at our Open Houses on Monday, August 12th.
Each family will receive two car rider tags. We also ask that you keep them so households can reuse them each year. If you have students in multiple buildings, your tags will be available at the school of your youngest child.
Again, we are truly excited about this partnership with the Drug Coalition as we offer enhanced safety measures for both our students and their families. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child's school.
