Frances 6th grade student Quote is from mother, Maureen Zumbro Dear Prospective OCS Families, Thank you for your interest in OCS. We hope you enjoy exploring the OCS web site, and that what you find here will entice you to come for a school tour. We have monthly tours for interested parents; please see our list of tour dates and times. Once you have come on a tour and heard more about our school you can fill out an enrollment application. Applications in English and Spanish can be downloaded from the web site, filled out, and mailed to OCS. See our contact information to find our mailing address. We strongly encourage all prospective parents to visit the school because we want you to know that OCS is a good match for your child before enrolling him/her. The first Monday after our Spring Break (Monday April 9th, 2007), we hold our lottery for all available spaces. If your child is not awarded a space, students can be wait listed and will be contacted if a space becomes available in their grade level. Siblings are given priority in the lottery. Please contact Beth Wolfsbauer, Assistant Principal and Enrollment Coordinator, if you have further questions. Contact: Beth Wolfsbauer Phone: (818) 920 - 5285 Sincerely, Chris Ferris Principal Our Community School At OCS Every Child is Honored Return To Top of Page
