OSHS Greyhound Handbook
In this section:
The Greyhound Handbook has been prepared for the purpose of informing parents and students of the opportunities and responsibilities that will be a part of the elementary school experience. This handbook has been designed to provide information regarding the organization of elementary schools within Ocean Springs School District (OSSD) and to put in writing the policies and procedures which have been set up as guides for students and parents.
Parents are advised to become acquainted with their child's teacher as soon as possible, as a spirit of cooperation between the teacher, the student, and the parent will promote making this school year the best possible. The Greyhound Handbook has been prepared to assist you. Therefore, if you do not find within its pages the information desired, please check with your child's teacher or at the school office.
