Osceola School District #1

When students read over the summer, they grow, stay sharp, and start the new school year with confidence. We encourage all our Seminoles to keep turning pages during these warm months to ensure their skills remain strong. Whether it’s a gripping mystery, an inspiring biography, or a fantasy adventure, every book counts!

Attached is the official North Pre-K and Kindergarten School Supply List for the upcoming school year. Please review the list and begin gathering the supplies your child will need for a successful start in the classroom.

Congratulations to our four amazing educators for winning Teacher of the Year!

North Elementary - Antionette Harris
Carroll Smith - Taylor Swygert
Middle School - Louegrace Ligasan
High School - Jekki Baconawa
