Student Safety Month is a reminder that creating a safe learning environment is a shared responsibility. From practicing good digital citizenship and making smart decisions online to following safety procedures at school and in the community, every action helps protect and support our students.
This month, we encourage families to have conversations about safety, awareness, and responsible choices. By working together, we can help ensure that every student feels secure, supported, and prepared for success.

OHS Families, Important Update!
In alignment with Arkansas’ Bell-to-Bell No Cell Law, Osceola High School is implementing a new cell phone protocol designed to protect instructional time, increase student engagement, and minimize distractions.
Beginning this school year, student cell phones will be collected upon arrival, securely stored throughout the school day, and returned at dismissal. Seniors will receive their phones when their school day concludes.
Please know this expectation is non-negotiable and will be strictly enforced. Students will still have access to communication with parents/guardians when needed through the front office.
This is not about taking away; it’s about giving our students more focus, more learning, and more opportunities to succeed.
Additional details will be shared during Open House.

Did you know that just a few minutes of math practice each day can help students retain what they learned during the school year and start the next one with confidence? Summer learning doesn't have to be complicated—simple activities like math games, flashcards, real-world problem solving, or online practice can make a big difference.
This summer, encourage your child to make math part of their routine. A little practice today can lead to big achievements tomorrow!

When students read over the summer, they grow, stay sharp, and start the new school year with confidence.
