Bee in the Know

Week of June 5, 2022

We've almost completed another school year at Osbourn Park High School, and we're proud of our students and staff for their dedication, hard work, and tenacity throughout the year. We've had numerous challenges, but they've only strengthened us, and I hope that our students will head into the summer and graduation with plenty of fond memories. With the end of the school year approaching, there's still more testing to be done. Exams for our seniors started this past Friday! Exams for underclassmen will commence the following week, please continue to work hard and be kind for the remainder of the school year!

 

Congratulations, Ms. Allen!

We are thrilled to share that our math teacher and department chair, Ms. Tonia Allen, has accepted a position as Assistant Principal with us for next school year. Ms. Allen has demonstrated leadership in and out of the classroom and we are excited to have her join our administrative team in the fall.

    Information from the College and Career Center

    Scholarships: We are asking all students who have been offered a scholarship - whether they are accepting it or not - to fill out the Scholarship Survey. All scholarships are to be documented. Loans and FAFSA are not included for this survey. Final deadline for any submissions to be calculated into our school total is June 6th!

    On June 7, after exam dismissal at approximately 10:45am, we will honor our Seniors who earned Summa Cum Laude honors! These impressive seniors who earned a 4.0 or above will be invited for lunch and sweet treats! They will get their Summa medal to wear at graduation at this time. This event is INVITATION ONLY! Students who qualify have already received an invitation via email and a letter at school. This is based on Semester 1 GPA. If you receive a 4.0 after final grades are due, you will be given your medal at Graduation Practice or on Graduation Day.

    Final Transcripts: Friday, June 10th the Senior GPAs will be pulled and scheduled to upload that night into Naviance. Once approved by Central Office, final transcripts will be sent the following week by counselors. To view how much you owe for transcripts, please go to the Colleges tab in Naviance and click "Manage Transcripts." At the bottom of the page, you will see the dollar amount owed. To pay any transcript fees, follow RYCOR Online Payment.pdf or bring a check made out to Osbourn Park High School to the counseling office.
