Dear Osceola Intermediate School Families,
It is with great pride and honor that I welcome you to Osceola Intermediate School. Our building is the home for over 350 students in grades 3-5 and approximately 50 staff members that bring smiles and excitement to your child everyday! As a team, we are committed to creating a safe, positive school environment that promotes academic and social growth for ALL learners through collaboration, respect and compassion.
It is very unlikely to walk through the halls of OIS and see students sitting, not connected and alone. We thrive for active, engaged learning where students feel pride and success! We are proud of the whole-child approach we teach and support daily where social-emotional learning and well-being are one of our highest priorities. We utilize PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports), REACH classes taught by our school counselor, Karlee Pitt and Responsive Classroom practices to ensure students are ready for academic learning. New this year, we have added both a sensory hallway and sensory resource room created to provide students with more movement throughout the day if needed.
We are committed to growing students academically through research-based resources like Reading/Writing Units of Study, Math Expressions and Mystery Science. With the support of academic interventionists, we are devoted to every student and their academic growth and success. We are proud of our knowledge and expertise within the eMLSS process (RTI) and the time committed to reaching all students during the school day. We pledge to continue to grow students!
From staff members and students to families and the community, we are all a TEAM! It takes all of us to ensure the success of your children. With a collaborative approach, we can ensure students at OIS receive the best education possible both academically and socially. On behalf of the entire Intermediate School, we are extremely excited to meet you and your family!
Please reach out with any questions or concerns at anytime. My door is always open! We are a team!
Julie Bender
OIS Principal
