Explanation of Terminology

A school year is composed of two terms. The fall term lasts from the beginning of school until December 16th. The spring term lasts from January 5 until the end of school. Each term is composed of two quarters; 1st and 2nd quarters in the fall and 3rd and 4th quarters in the spring. Each day’s schedule is composed of four (4) blocks (sometimes called periods). Generally, courses which last a full block for a term receive 1.0 Carnegie unit and courses which last a full block for only a quarter receive 0.5 Carnegie unit. 

 

Upon arrival (8:05 a.m. - 8:26 a.m.) all students will enter through SE or SW gates. Students are not to be dropped off at the main entrance before 8:30 a.m. Student drop off is on the west side of the school by the band hall. Students who are dropped off after 8:30 a.m. must enter through the main entrance. After 8:30, gates will be closed and students parking on campus may only enter through double doors by CTE (South Building). Once students have entered campus, they will not be permitted to leave without permission.

 

Any student caught leaving campus without proof of checking out, will receive disciplinary consequences. Any student, who assists another student in entering or exiting an unauthorized area of OSHS campus, will also be subject to disciplinary consequences.
