    Greetings Parents, Students, Staff and Community Members:

    It is with great joy and excitement that I welcome you to the 2022-2023 school year! It is truly my honor and my pleasure to serve as your school leader for a third year. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented many challenges and obstacles but in the final analysis, we overcame them all.

    For the upcoming school year, we are thrilled to report that we will continue in-person learning.  Osborn school day have been updated from 8:00 AM – 2:55 PM. This will give your child the opportunity to participate in Osborn after-school programming, including afterschool Credit Recovery, tutoring, sports, and clubs.

     

    Please be assured that our maintenance team will continue to follow an intensive, COVID-19 sanitation regiment for the entire building, including all classrooms. Masks are no longer required and are optional for DPSCD schools.

    For this upcoming school-year, the following supportive services will be available to address the academic needs of our students: Credit Recovery, Tutoring, and Individualized targeted support in their core classes based on their Spring testing data in Math and Literacy.

    Osborn offers over 13 enrichment clubs, in school mental health and medical services by Ascension Health and Black Family Development, and we offer a full Sports Program for students.
