North/ First Week of Kindergarten
What a GREAT first week in Kindergarten!
Our young scholars were busy bees learning how to draw vertical and horizontal lines, practicing numbers 0–3 , and sharing their “All About Me” books so we could get to know each other better. We laughed, we learned, and we made new friends — what an awesome start to the year!

Our seniors came together bright and early to celebrate the start of their final year with Senior Sunrise. It was a beautiful way to kick off the Class of 2026’s journey to graduation!

North PreK/ First Days of Learning
PreK Highlights – First days of School!
Our PreK students had a wonderful first few days of learning and fun! They spent time making new friends, practicing classroom procedures, and learning how to work and play together. From morning routines to circle time, our little learners are already showing responsibility and kindness each day. Of course, no first week would be complete without some outside fun! Laughter and play filled the playground as students explored, built friendships, and enjoyed the sunshine. We are so proud of how quickly our PreK Seminoles are settling into school life—this is just the beginning of an amazing year of growth and learning!

North/ Mrs. Wilson's Class
Mrs. Wilson’s class started the year with the book First Day Jitters! This story helped remind students that it’s perfectly normal to feel a little nervous on the first day of school. To make the day extra special, students enjoyed a fun treat — “Jitter Juice” and shared ways to support one another. Together, they are building a positive classroom environment where everyone feels welcome, safe, and ready to learn!

What a fantastic first day back! Our students, staff, and families set the tone for a year of learning, growth, and teamwork. The energy in our classrooms and hallways reminds us that when we all row together, we move forward with strength and purpose. 💙📚
We also know that some of our bus routes experienced delays today. 🚌 Thank you for your patience as we adjust and fine-tune. Just like in rowing, it takes coordination and practice to find the perfect rhythm, and our transportation team is working to get us there quickly.
With everyone rowing in the same direction, we are confident this will be a year of success for all! 🌟

2025 Osceola Seminoles Football Schedule
It’s time for another exciting season of Seminole Football! Mark your calendars and come out to support our team this year.
We can’t wait to see our community fill the stands and cheer on our Seminoles! Let’s make this season one to remember.
#webleedpurpleandgold
For the safety of all students, we require a valid photo ID anytime a child is checked out of school. Our staff will verify your ID against the names listed on your child’s information sheet before releasing them.
We cannot make exceptions to this procedure , even if staff members know you personally. This ensures that every parent or guardian is treated fairly and consistently. For example, if one parent is asked for ID while another is not, it could cause confusion or concern.
If a parent or guardian arrives without an ID, they will be asked to return with one before the child can be checked out.
We understand this may feel like an inconvenience at times, but please know this procedure is in place for one reason: to protect our students. Your patience and cooperation help us maintain a safe and secure environment for every child in our care.
Thank you for your understanding and partnership.

Parents and Students,
This school year, Arkansas law requires that students may not use personal electronic devices during the instructional day—from the first bell to the last bell.
🚫 This includes:
Cell phones
Smartwatches
iPads or tablets not issued by OSD
Headphones, earbuds, and other similar devices
✅ Only devices issued by the Osceola School District may be used during the school day.
This is not just a district rule—it is state law, and all schools in Arkansas are required to comply.
The goal is simple:
Eliminate classroom distractions
Keep the focus on learning
Create a safer and more respectful school environment
We ask parents to please remind students of this law and encourage them to leave personal devices at home or keep them stored away during school hours.
Thank you for partnering with us to ensure our schools remain safe, focused, and productive from the first bell to the last!
