Communication at OCSCS
At OCSCS, we believe that open, respectful, and effective communication is key to creating a supportive environment where every student can thrive. To help foster strong relationships between families, staff, and students, we’ve developed these communication guidelines. They are designed to ensure that all interactions—whether in person, over the phone, or online—are positive, clear, and solution-focused. This page also features links to past communications sent out by the school, offering a one-stop resource for important updates. Additionally, we’ve included a clear communication path for addressing concerns and seeking support, so families can receive efficient, direct service without being passed between multiple contacts. By working together and following these guidelines, we can address concerns promptly, celebrate successes, and maintain a strong partnership in supporting your learner's education.
Who is my first point of contact?

Reach out to the teacher first
The teachers are the best first point of contract for concerns related to how students are progressing on their learning activities, practice, assessments, and levels of engagement in classes
