Mission Statement
Every Child . . . . A Promise

OCI offers a variety of ways our families and community can contribute to our school. We encourage parents to help in the classroom by tutoring, attending field trips, chaperoning dances or helping sponsor classroom projects through donations of money, goods or services. We also maintain an active PTC (parent teacher committee) and SITE committee (parent advisory group). Any parent who is interested can be a member of the PTC and attend their meetings. The president of this group meets regularly with the principal. The members of the SITE committee meet at scheduled times throughout the year and advise the principal on budget as well as other matters. The other parents of the school at the beginning of the school year elect these parents.

We review our Safety Plan periodically throughout the year. Our school conducts drills that include how to respond to fire and general emergency situations. School personnel, including the principal, meet to discuss teacher and student performance immediately after the drills to insure correct actions.
School Programs and Practices That Promote a Positive Learning EnvironmentInformation about the school's efforts to create and maintain a positive learning environment, including the use of disciplinary strategies.
We have developed a dress code and discipline policy that we enforce consistently. We utilize counseling if students demonstrate a need. We run an Opportunity Program where students are sent to make-up work or need a time out due to behavior. Our students are also encouraged to maintain good grades and behavior with awards and incentives. Students are recognized for positive behavior and grades at quarterly awards assemblies. Students must be eligible for dances and other co-curricular activities with appropriate behavior and set grade requirements
