Spartan Families,

We are so excited to be starting our 3rd year as a partner with Battle on Bago by selling their raffle tickets. For us, this fundraiser supports our student athletes with many of the needs ONHS Spartan teams need every year.

PURCHASE A YEARBOOK - UPDATED INFORMATION (11/22/19)
Due to having extra yearbooks that were unsold at the end of last year, we are doing something different this year regarding yearbook sales. Instead of ordering a number of extra yearbooks, we are only ordering the number of yearbooks which are ordered (plus the extras we use for the libraries, guidance office, etc). What this means for you is if your child is waiting to purchase a yearbook at the end of the year, he/she may not have one to purchase. Sometimes there are overruns that the yearbook printing company gives us to sell, but those are not guaranteed. Please make sure you order your child's yearbook before the deadline, which is January 17 (the last day of the semester). If you don't, he or she will probably not be able to purchase a yearbook.

There are 3 easy ways to pay. 
1. Bring $65 cash to the school bank.
2. Bring a check for $65 to the school bank, written out to Oshkosh North.
3. Purchase online through Infinite Campus. You will go under Fees---Account---Optional Payments. There is a choice to select the purchase of a yearbook under this menu.

Also, if there happen to be extra yearbooks at the end of the year, the price is raised to $70, so buying one now guarantees you a book and saves you money.

If you have any questions, please email the advisor, Ms. Sara Klein, at sara.klein@oshkosh.k12.wi.us.   Thank you!

SENIOR ADS
Do you have a senior? This is a GREAT way to honor him or her, by taking out an ad in the Yearbook. Seniors love this, and it's a lot of fun. I have staff who are trained in designing these ads, so if you don't want to create your own (most parents don't), you can send us the pictures and what you'd like it to say, and we'll create it for you! Ads are due in mid-February, but we'll accept them as early as now. If you are interested, let me know and I'll send you a contract with more information. Prices are $200 for a full page ad, $120 for a half page ad, and our most popular, which is $75 for a quarter page ad. 

BABY PICTURES FOR SENIOR SLIDESHOW
North is unique in that we have a senior slideshow shown at graduation each year, which features each senior's senior picture and baby picture (among other things). We don't really start working on this until the end of winter, but if you'd like to send a baby picture now while you're thinking about it, it would go to the same emails as the senior pictures. If you need to drop off a hard copy, you would not get that back until the spring (as we won't be doing any scanning of those for awhile), so you might want to hold off on those.

HOW TO SEND OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS
Please remember that EACH college you apply to will require an official high school transcript be sent after you apply AND in June after graduation. 

To refresh your memory from the senior meeting, please visit the Oshkosh North Counseling Department website (https://oshkosh-north-high.oshkosh.k12.wi.us/counseling/college-career-development) to review the TWO ways to send your transcripts. 

Please note- it is your responsibility to get transcripts sent to the colleges in which you apply. The only exception to this is IF you apply to colleges via the Common Application. When you utilize the Common Application, transcripts are uploaded to your application by School Counselors. If you have any questions, please feel free to stop down or email Senior Counselor, Mrs. Erickson.

All families with transition-aged children or young adults in special education are invited to attend an informational night on Monday, January 13, 2020 from 4:00-7:00PM at Fox Valley Technical College in Oshkosh. Please click on this link for more information.
