The
Volume XIV
BACK TO SCHOOL 2014-2015
Issue 1
Oak Hills High School Parents, Students and Families,
The summer is almost over and it’s time to begin preparing for another great school year.
I am excited to be returning in my second year as Principal at Oak Hills High School. Last
school year was outstanding, culminating with a successful commencement ceremony
where we saw 693 students walk across the stage at Cintas Center to accept their Oak
Hills High School diploma. This school year will be equally as exciting as we look to find
ways to improve our service to our families and our students.
Our mission at Oak Hills High School remains the same, that all of our students will
achieve success by graduating with a shared sense of global awareness and the critical
skills to be career and college ready. I look forward to working with you to help your child
accomplish this. A strong partnership between home and school is essential to ensure that
all of our students are growing. Throughout this school year, we encourage you to communicate with your child’s teachers, counselors and administrators. Please feel free to contact
us at 513-922-2300 if you have any questions or suggestions throughout the year. I look
forward to another great year. Our strong partnership will take Oak Hills to new heights.
Sincerely,
John Stoddard
Principal, Oak Hills High School

Online EMA!
Since the founding of Oak Hills High School in 1954, education has changed. Our
2014-15 mission states that “Oak Hills High School students will achieve success by
graduating with a shared sense of global awareness and the critical skills to be college
and career ready.” In order to be successful, students should use a variety of skills to
enhance their education. To accomplish these goals, teachers have needed to adapt
their curriculum-based instruction and students need to adapt their learning styles. No
longer does curriculum exist in a vacuum, it requires an interdisciplinary, competency and
problem-based approach that transcends school walls. This begs the question: how does
an institution steeply based in traditional instruction adapt into one that develops problemsolving, critical thinkers?
EMERGENCY Medical Information
For the past three years, Oak Hills High School has worked closely with Asia Society’s
International Studies Schools Network (ISSN) to ensure we are providing the experiences
to our students to fulfill our district mission. Last school year concluded three waves of
ISSN training for high school teachers. The switch to 21st century learning has to start
with the classroom teachers and their perspective towards innovative instruction. The
ISSN has helped give framework to this transition, providing our staff with necessary
resources. Teachers were trained on the implementation of the four global pillars of global
competence: Investigating the World, Recognizing and Weighing Various Perspectives,
Communicating Ideas to Diverse Audiences and Taking Action. Using Ohio’s New Learning
Standards, teachers learned how to weave global competence into lesson planning (or
“module” creation).
In case your students come home with terms you do not understand, here are a few
definitions to aide in these conversations.
Task or Module is a specifically designed student-centered lesson in which
students build their knowledge of the topic by completing specific steps to accom
plish the assignment. Students need to learn the content in order to complete the
assignment, instead of simply applying the learning at the end of the lesson.
Global Competency is a skill necessary to be successfully career and college
ready in the global market.
SAGE is an acronym that stands for: Student Choice, Authenticity, Global
Connection and Exhibition. In addition to the four global competencies, these are
implemented into each task.
Take Action is a piece of the learning and asks students to take their knowledge
and act on global solutions. This can take many forms and requires students to
think past the classroom walls.
GPS stands for Graduate Performance System and incorporates the four global
competencies, SAGE and specific curriculum standards.
21st century learning is unique, deep and powerful. Students hold a new key to our future,
one they can only use by forcing themselves to investigate, communicate, recognize
differences and take action. Asia Society’s International Studies Schools Network provides
the instructional framework for teachers to aid the students of Oak Hills High School
on this journey. We encourage you to ask questions of your students, teachers and
administrators as we continue to grow in the 21st century world.
Thank you. We look forward to seeing you and your children for the upcoming school year.
District Office will be mailing information to
your home regarding the new online
Emergency Medical Authorization system
before the start of school. All parents must
fill out the online EMA. There will not be
any hard copies this year.
HOMEWORK
The majority of homework assignments
are available from either ProgressBook,
Moodle or another companion site (refer
to course syllabus for details).
Please follow these instructions for
obtaining homework:
• Student is absent more than two (2)
days: email the teacher directly for
homework assignments (email
addresses are on district website
and ProgressBook).
• Can’t use e-mail: contact Sue
Wineland at 467-7199. Please
allow 24 hours for the homework
(if needed) to be at the front desk
for pick up.
• Hospitalized students: contact the
student’s individual counselor
regarding this situation.
Yearbooks
The 2013-14 yearbooks will be
available for early pick-up during
schedule pick up days. Books not
picked up during that time will be
distributed once school starts.
Meghan Sullivan, ISSN Instructional Coach
Change of Address and/or Phone Number
In our quest to maintain complete and accurate records, we ask for your help in keeping your child’s personal information up to date.
If there are any changes such as address, phone number, custody, marital status of parents, etc., please let the school know.
If you move within the Oak Hills District, we will need a copy of your deed, mortgage papers, current property tax bill,
rental or lease agreement which includes the name, address, and telephone number of the landlord.
If you move out of the district, you personally must come into the building and officially withdraw your child. When submitting these
changes please remember to include your child’s name (which may be different than the parent).
Thank you for your help.

ProgressBook
Monitor Your Child’s Progress
What is ProgressBook? Paper copies
of report cards are no longer issued from
Oak Hills High School. Student progress
and grades can be monitored around the
clock in ProgressBook, an online grade
book, by visiting ohlsd.org and clicking
on the Progress Book icon. Progress
Book allows parents and students to stay
updated on grades, assignments, and
tests, and to communicate with teachers
about course progress. It can be accessed
from any computer or mobile device with
an Internet connection.
How do I log in? Parents and students
have separate log-in information and to
access the site, parents and students
need to enter their unique username and
password. This information will remain the
same as last year. Only parents who have
not created a parent account will receive
registration keys to create an account. If
you have trouble with your password or
the site, please contact the high school for
assistance at 922-2300.
How can I get missing assignment and
low marks alerts from ProgressBook?
Parents can set up alerts to receive
emails when their children have missing
assignments or earn low marks on an
assignment. To do so, log in to your
ProgressBook account, and select
“Manage Alerts” under “My Account.”
From there, select the alerts you would
like to receive and click “Save.” In the
“Manage Alerts” screen, you also have
the option to “Change Settings” which
will allow you to set what you feel is a
low mark.
What if I still need a paper report card?
Students needing a printed report card
may request one from their counselors.
What if I don’t have access to the
Internet? The Oak Hills Media Center is
available Monday – Thursday from
3:00 pm to 4:30 pm (hours subject to
change). In addition, public libraries,
including Delhi and Green Township, have
free Internet access.

Attendance Guidelines 2014-2015
The mission of Oak Hills High School is that all students will experience success
by graduating with a shared sense of global awareness and the critical skills to be
career and college ready. Attendance is vital to achieving this success.
What do you need to know as a parent (guardian)?
ABSENCES:
If your child is absent, we must receive a call at 347-2970 from a parent (guardian) the day
of the absence. If you do not call, your student will be marked unexcused for that day.
Absences beyond ten will require documentation to be filed in the Attendance Office
or the absence(s) is considered unexcused (see below). A ten day letter will be mailed to
parents officially informing them their student has accumulated ten (10) absences. At that
point two things must happen for any additional absence(s) to be excused:
• A parent (guardian) must still call school at 347-2970 to report every absence
• Pertinent documentation from a physician or the courts must be brought to school
promptly upon return for each absence over ten (10). If documentation is not received,
the absence will remain unexcused. Unexcused absences are not acceptable, are
subject to truancy charges, and will result in consequences such as loss of school
related privileges, such as:
1. Loss of participation in Homecoming, Prom, MORP, and Graduation Ceremony.
2. Participation in athletics, Oakettes, cheerleading, any extracurricular activity,
clubs, and student activity groups etc.
3. Participation in field trips.
TARDINESS TO SCHOOL:
Tardiness to school is not acceptable. Students are expected to arrive at school, be in
their seats, and ready to begin their day by 8:00 a.m. If persistent tardiness occurs, every
three (3) tardies to school is considered one unexcused day and will result in the same
consequences as listed above for unexcused absences.
What do you need to do if your student is arriving late or needs to be released early
for a scheduled appointment?
Please try to schedule all appointments outside of school hours if possible. If this is not
possible, please be prepared the night before by writing your student a note and have him/
her bring your note to the Attendance Office at the start of the day or upon arriving late to
school. Please be considerate by not calling school. We must interrupt valuable teaching
time to give your student permission to leave the building. If your student will be arriving
very late, a call to the Attendance Line at 347-2970 would be greatly appreciated.
What to do if your Junior or Senior is going on a College Visit?
• Call 347-2970 to let us know your student will not be in school that day. Each student is
limited to three (3) college visit days in a school year.
• Obtain official documentation from that college on their letter-head stationary stating your
student was in attendance.
• Have your student bring this documentation to the Attendance Office the next day. Upon
receiving this letter, the absence will be considered a field trip and will not count against
your student as a day absent.
Extra-Curricular Activities: Students must be in attendance at school for three (3) full periods
to participate in any activity. This includes games, practices, rehearsals, and performances.
Printed on Transcripts: Parents & students please note, attendance information (including
the number of absences & tardies) is printed on a student’s permanent transcript.
!
Chronic and/or habitual tardiness or truancy may result in charges
being filed through Diversion and/or Juvenile Court against
the student and/or the parent(s)/ guardian(s).
Page 4
Please read very carefully:
For any student to participate in any
OHHS privileged activity such as
ATHLETICS, HOMECOMING, MORP,
PROM, SENIOR EVENTS, CLUBS,
etc., that student must have on his/her
attendance and student accounts:
• No outstanding school fees/fines
• Less than three (3) tardies
• Zero (0) Unexcused Absences
• No Out of School Suspensions (OSS) An out of school suspension is
considered an unexcused absence that
cannot be made up for school privileges
during the quarter it is assessed.
Example: A student receiving an OSS
in September will not be permitted to
attend Homecoming but will be permitted
to attend other functions after the first
quarter if they are not suspended again.
This policy will be upheld for all
scheduled activities.
All Attendance
Calls: 347-2970
(then dial 2, then 8)
When your child is absent: Promptly
call the ABSENCE LINE at 347-2970.
Messages are retrieved throughout the day.
Your child is late to school: Send a
note with your child. The student should
report directly to the ATTENDANCE
OFFICE upon entering the building.
Your child requires an early
dismissal: Your child should come to the
ATTENDANCE OFFICE before school
begins with a note written by a parent.
This note should include the reason, time
leaving, grade and phone # where you
can be reached during the day. A pass
will then be written for your child to leave
at the appropriate time.
Advanced extended absences such as
vacation, hospital stay, etc. - Students
on extended leave should bring a note
to the attendance office at least one (1)
week prior to their absence.
Failure to report an absence is
considered unexcused.
ALL students, even eighteen years old
or older living with parent(s) or guardian,
must have a note or call from the parent
or guardian!
The OHHS Attendance Policy and discipline policy will
be provided to each child on the first day of school to
be signed by a parent and returned to school. It is very
important that students and parents are knowledgeable of
all attendance policies and work with the school district to
ensure students are attending school.
on Education
DRESS CODE
DRESS CODE: Appropriate dress and grooming are expected
of students. Students are to maintain high standards of personal
cleanliness and personal appearance. Students are to avoid
styles of dress and grooming which are bizarre and flamboyant,
distract attention from the orderly pursuit of knowledge, disrupt the
educational process, or constitute a threat to individuals or group
safety. Students will receive a Tuesday/Thursday School as a
consequence, and will not be permitted to attend classes if
they are in violation of this policy. Below are some of the more
common dress code violations. Please read the section in the
OHHS Student Handbook that refers to DRESS CODE for a more
comprehensive explanation.
The items listed below have caused the greatest problems in
adhering to the dress code. If you are unsure if your clothes
comply with the dress code, don’t wear them – it is not worth
missing class/school. Your cooperation in these matters is
necessary to keep Oak Hills a school where learning can take
place with minimal distractions. It is critical that the school has
100% parental support on the dress code policy to ensure a climate
conducive to learning for all.
Attendance is the Key
One lucky OHHS student will win a
for coming to school this year!
Official rules will be posted on the OHHS website.
• Shorts/Pants/Skirts: The top of the pants/skirts must be
worn near the natural waist line and not around the hips.
Sagging is not permitted. Length must fall at or below the
fingertip line on the leg when standing with correct posture with
shoulders and arms relaxed. There must be no visible sign of
holes/rips/tears.
• Hair: Hair must be kept clean and worn in a style that does
not create a distraction to the educational environment and
learning climate. Unnatural colors are not permitted. (Example
– Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow, Stripes, etc.)
• Tops/Shirts: Tops/shirts should extend to the shoulder or
beyond. This means tank tops or tops with straps (even wide
ones) are not to be worn. Modest necklines are required (no
low cut/revealing). Sheer tops do not constitute adequate
coverage.
If your attire
looks anything
like this …

Counseling Information
Scheduling Change Deadline was July 15, 2014
College Visits - College visits need to be scheduled 2 to 3 weeks in advance. When
scheduling a visit, request meetings with individual departments that you may be
interested in as well as the admissions office. Visiting colleges is absolutely essential.
Some admissions directors will wait-list the application of any student who has not visited
the campus unless there are extenuating circumstances. Research shows that less than
3% of the students who apply to a college they have not visited will actually attend that
college. Colleges want to accept students that show a sincere interest in their school.
After the College Visit - After having visited a college, we highly recommend you send a
handwritten thank you note to the admissions office and any professor or faculty member
you might have spoken to. The handwritten note is much preferred over e-mail and may
make the difference in whether or not you are accepted.
Applications - Please check deadline dates on all applications and scholarships. We can
begin processing college applications as early as the end of August. When applications
ask for school counselor / contact information please put the following:
Fran Gilreath, College Counselor, 513.467.7120, [email protected]
E-mail Addresses - You must use an appropriate e-mail address. Using a nickname,
an inappropriate word, slang, etc. in your personal e-mail address is unacceptable and
unprofessional for college applications. We have heard anecdotal evidence of some of the
more selective colleges/universities disqualifying applications due to unprofessional e-mail
addresses. Our suggestion is that you create an appropriate e-mail address that you use
for all interactions with colleges.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Graduation Requirements for the
Classes of 2015, 2016, 2017
Besides completing the Oak Hills Local School District course requirements,
students must also meet the following
requirement:
Pass all sections of the Ohio Graduation
Test (OGT), science, reading, writing,
math, and social studies. Students first
take the test in March of their sophomore
year. Students not passing all parts of the
OGT are tested again until all parts are
passed. Make-up tests are administered in
October, March and June of each year.
Graduation Requirements for the
Class of 2018
Besides completing the Oak Hills Local
School District course requirements,
students must meet one of the following
three requirements:
1. Earn a “remediation free” score on a
nationally recognized college admission
exam (such as ACT)
Page 6
Advanced
Placement (AP)
Test Fee
Oak Hills High School strives to offer
students choices and opportunities that
will prepare them for their next steps after
graduation. We have consistently offered
rigorous curricular experiences that
expose our students to quality instruction
and college-aligned coursework. The
Advanced Placement (AP) program,
offered in 28 courses at Oak Hills High
School, is one such opportunity.
Oak Hills students enrolled in AP courses
have the option of taking the AP exam
in May. Students choosing to take
the exam will be responsible for the
exam fee (price to be announced in fall
– was $81 in 2013-14). Additional details
regarding the payment process will be
shared through AP classes in the fall.
Oak Hills strongly encourages students to
consider taking the AP exam in May. The
exam opens incredible opportunities for
students to earn college credits while still
in high school. In addition, research shows
that students who take an AP exam while
in high school are more likely to graduate
from college than students who do not,
regardless of their AP exam score.
As classes resume in August, Oak Hills
teachers and counselors will support
students and parents as they make
decisions about AP courses and exams.
If you have immediate questions,
please contact Mr. Doug Geygan,
Advanced Placement Supervising
Principal, at 467-7148.
2. Earn a cummulative passing score on
seven end of course exams:
• Algebra I and Geometry
• Physical science
• American history and American
Government
• English I and English II;
3. Earn an industry-recognized credential
or state license for practice in a vocation
and achieve a score that demonstrates
workforce readiness and employability
on a job skills assessment (such as
WorkKeys).

FAQ’s about “OPTIONAL” Early
Schedule Pick Up Days
(FAQ = Frequently Asked Questions)
Q1: Do I have to pay my instructional
fees and receive my schedule early?
A: No. This is offered for those who want
to receive their schedules early. No one is
required to do this. All students will receive
a schedule in Tartan Time the first day of
school whether fees have been paid or not.
Remember: All fees (past & present) must
be paid to receive your schedule early.
Q2: Wow! I can get my schedule via
email and not have to wait in line?
A: Correct! This is new this year and we
are happy to accommodate you. However,
you do need to follow these guidelines:
• Pay ON-LINE using EZPAY (page 22)
• ALL fees must be paid to receive your
schedule. Should you only pay your
Instructional Fee and you have other
outstanding fees, you WILL NOT
receive your schedule.
• You will receive your schedule sometime during the day on Tuesday, Aug.
12. Schedules will be released (one at
a time!) in the order that payment was
received. You could receive it early in
the morning or late into the evening.
Q3: Can I get my parking permit and/or
sports pass online too?
A: Yes. You can pay for either online
however you will have to pick them up at
school on one of the two pick-up days or
AFTER school starts. The Parking Pledge
and Parking Permit Application must be
completed & returned to receive the actual
parking permit. You will need to bring a
copy of your online payment receipt and a
copy of your schedule. The good thing is
you won’t have to wait in the fee line!
Q4: I will be out of town that week. Can
I pay ahead of time to get my schedule?
A: A friend or family member may pay your
fees and pick up your schedule if you want
to get it before school starts or you can
use the on-line payment option and your
schedule will be emailed to you. We will not
be accepting in-person payments at school
except Aug 13-14 during scheduled times.
Q5: If I mail my payment in early can I
still pick up my schedule on early pick
up day?
A: No. Mail is sometimes delayed and there
is no guarantee that OHHS will receive it in
time for you to pick up your schedule.
Q6: Can my family member or friend pay
for my fees and parking permit since I
cannot come on any pickup day?
A: Yes, they can pay for your instructional
fees and pick up your schedule. However,
if they are purchasing your parking permit
they must have all of the appropriate paperwork. Note: A copy of your driver’s license
must be attached to your application. Your
parking permit will not be given to the
person purchasing it for you. You will have
to pick it up in the Attendance Office when
school starts.
Q7: Who can purchase parking permits?
A: A student with a valid driver’s license
(not a learner’s permit) can purchase a
student-parking permit for $50. A student
who has a suspended license cannot
purchase a permit until his/her license
is returned unless a copy of the proof of
school driving privileges is presented at the
time the pass is purchased.
Q8: I’ll be a January Release (formerly
called January Grad). Do I have to pay
$50 for a parking permit?
A: Seniors finishing all course work in
January may purchase a half-year pass for
$25. Passes must be returned to the office
Page 7
in Jan. during exams. A January Release
student may not sell or give the pass to
another student; including a sibling. Any
January Release student who does not turn
in his/her parking permit in January will be
charged $25 for the second half of the year.
Q9: How long are parking permits sold?
And if I don’t get a parking permit at the
beginning of the year will I be able to get
one later?
A: The permits could sell out at early pickup days or be available until later in the
school year. It just depends on the demand.
When a parking permit is returned or
revoked it becomes available for purchase.
Make sure you put your name on the
waiting list in the Attendance Office.
Q10: I can’t pick up my schedule early
and I want to come to Freshmen/New
Student Orientation. Will I have a schedule
so I can see where my classes are?
A: Yes. All (new) students attending
Freshman/New Student Orientation will
receive a schedule that evening. ALL
students will receive a schedule the first
day of school.

accessed by an administrator at any time.
OHHS assumes no responsibility for the
contents of the lockers.

NOW ON-LINE Printed copies of the
District Calendars will NOT be available.
Please view our district website. All school
buildings and district-wide online calendars
are constantly being updated. Go to
http:/ohlsd.us/ohhs/ohhs-calendar-ofevents/ for the latest updates to the OHHS
calendar or www.ohlsd.us > Schools >
Oak Hills High School > scroll to
Calendar of Events.
Participating in the Dual Enrollment
program is a great way to transition into
college. Students completing dual enrollment classes receive both high school and
college credit. The courses available are
determined by the contract with OHHS and
our four dual enrollment partners (Cincinnati State, Mount Saint Joseph University,
University of Cincinnati, and Xavier University). Dual enrollment students take courses
at OHHS & must meet the minimum grade
requirement from the respective college to
earn college credit.
SUPPLY LISTS – There is not a “general
supply list” for our high school students.
During the first few days of classes, individual teachers will give students a list of items
they will need for their classes. Many of the
supplies will be available for purchase in
the Oak Hills Spirit Shop. Please bring paper
and pen the first day of school.
Tuition & Fees
Registration is not complete until tuition is
paid in full in August and January. Students
in dual enrollment must complete a registration form and pay tuition as required
by the institution. The cost for courses is
determined by the course credit hours.
CALCULATORS - All students in Mathematics courses at OHHS are required to
provide their own calculators as follows:
Students enrolled in Algebra or Geometry
are strongly encouraged to have a graphic calculator such as the TI-83/84 (Texas
Instruments). Students enrolled in Algebra
II, Applied Algebra and Trigonometry, PreCalculus, Calculus, or Statistics must have
a TI-83/84 (Texas Instruments) graphing
calculator. Each student should engrave
their name on the calculator & cover.
BOOK BAGS - Book bags may be used to
transport books and supplies to and from
class throughout the school day. Should
book bags be deemed disruptive or a
health hazard due to size or shape, they
may be restricted by the Administration.
OAK HILLS SPIRIT SHOP - New spirit
wear and lots of school supplies are available! The Spirit Shop accepts Visa, MC &
checks. Your driver’s license is required to
process checks. Checks should be made
payable to OHAB. See page 19 of this
mailer for more spirit shop information. The
Spirit Shop is run by volunteers from the
Oak Hills Athletic Boosters (OHAB).
DRESS CODE: If a student is in violation
of dress code, they will receive a Tuesday/Thursday School as a consequence,
& will not be permitted to attend classes
while in violation of this policy. See page 5

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AT OHHS?
THIS WILL HELP YOU!
OHHS WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTERS
The OHHS website is your one stop
shopping for news, pictures, links,
calendars, and information. The webpage
is updated frequently and is the quickest
way to provide you with information. Often
information is posted to the OHHS website
before it has a chance to make it home in
newsletters, mailings, or phone calls.
There is always a way to find out important
information by using the internet. Here is
where you need to go:
• Oak Hills Local Schools, www.ohlsd.us

OHHS STUDENT EMAIL ADDRESSES
- PARENTS HAVE ACCESS
Central to our eLearning efforts at Oak
Hills Local School District is the idea that
electronic resources can be a powerful tool
when used effectively and appropriately.
Electronic communications (such as email)
are one example. In our work and family
lives, most of us use email to interact with
others daily.
We have provided each of our students a
district-owned Gmail account to which you
will have access. Students will be told that
teachers and parents will have access to
their login credentials so they may check
the account at any time.
Your child’s Gmail and password has been
placed on his/her EMA form (the link is
located at http://www.ohlsd.org/parents.html
and click on Access Student Email).
Your child’s username is the same as their
email address minus the @ohlsd.org. For
example, if my child’s email address is
[email protected], his username
would be 21MickeyMouse. Your student
will not be able to change his/her password
so you can be assured of access to the
account at all times.
If you would like the email that is being sent
to your child’s Oak Hills gmail account to be
forwarded to your personal email account,
use this link for instructions (it is case
sensitive): http://goo.gl/L56oA
If you have any questions or concerns
about student Gmail accounts, please
contact our main office: 922-2300.
STAFF EMAIL ADDRESSES
E-mail is the easiest and most efficient
way of reaching a teacher throughout the
school day. To reach a teacher via e-mail,
you may either check the Oak Hills website
for a quick-link, or in general, the e-mail
addresses of OHHS teachers follow this
format:
Last Name_First [email protected]
For example: Joe Smith would be
[email protected]
*Please Note – Not all e-mail’s will follow this
format. Check the OHHS website to be certain.

Council is sponsoring the Beat Elder clothing drive. The first 250 students who donate a
piece of purple clothing before school in the commons on Monday August 25 and Tuesday
August 26 will receive a free “Beat Elder” t-shirt! Details on purchasing t-shirts after August
26 will be shared the first few days of school. GO HIGHLANDERS!
Athletic Ticket Information
Come out and enjoy the night, eat some food, buy some spiritwear, support our teams,
cheerleaders, marching band and oakettes. Need tickets?
Varsity football tickets are $7 for adults, $4 for presale students. All tickets are $7 at the

them before school, during lunch, in between bells (but they will not get a pass to get to
class if it takes you too long), or after school until 3:30pm. Cash and checks made out to

WALK Oak Hills!
Join us in 2015!
On April 10, 2015 the Student Council at
Oak Hills High School will sponsor the
Fifth Annual student event called
“Walk Oak Hills”. The purposes of the
event are:
• To give students the opportunity to
participate in an altruistic activity that
benefits our community,
• To show school spirit,
• To raise funds to support community
based organizations.
Nearly $40,000.00 was raised by our
students in 2014! The net proceeds
benefited the Anderson Ferry Food
Pantry, the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society, the Lustgarten Foundation, the
Rise and Rise Again Foundation and
the Delhi and Green Township Senior
Centers. Students took a long walk in the
Oak Hills High School community, had a
sack lunch, and enjoyed entertainment
during the morning. They learned what it
means to give back to their community.
We are excited to announce that Walk
Oak Hills will continue in 2015. Each
student who wishes to WALK and receive
an event t-shirt will be required to raise
money to participate. Net proceeds from
this event will benefit more local charities
to be announced.

Bepler ([email protected]) at your earliest convenience!
What is PTA’s role?
At the high school level, PTA’s role is significantly different than that which you may have
experienced at the elementary or even middle school buildings.
Oak Hills High School is a thriving community of learning, activity and events – from music
to drama to athletics to special-interest clubs. We have phenomenal teachers and mentors
who are leading these efforts, which is a key factor in why Oak Hills continually receives
an EXCELLENT rating.
Oak Hills High School PTA’s primary focus is on the student.
ª After Prom in the spring – provides a safe, fun and over-the-top event for more than
1,000 students on one of the most exciting but potentially dangerous nights of the year.
ª Student Scholarships in the spring helps our graduating seniors begin their next
journey of life longing learning.
Our key fundraising is our Ladies Night Out/Fashion Show that raises the bulk of the
money to fund the student scholarships, teacher mini grants, staff appreciation, hospitality,
and a small part of After Prom.
Considerable PTA effort is also spent on supporting our outstanding staff and faculty.
We provide hospitality support at such events as College Night and Veteran’s Day and
significant effort is put towards the Staff Appreciation Week which is always enjoyed by our
dedicated staff.
PTA begins with P – the Parent. Without that we cannot operate and we have no reason
to exist. The Oak Hills High School community has a strong tradition of support that we
hope will continue. To honor our parents, PTA began email communications to help keep
parents informed. If you are interested in receiving these emails with news and upcoming
deadlines, please make sure that we have a viable parent email address for you when you
join PTA.
LOOK FOR UPCOMING INFORMATION AND DATE
OHHS Ladies Night Out – More information available soon for this incredibly entertaining
evening and key fundraiser!
The Oak Hills High School PTA looks forward to another exciting school year! We hope
that you will be part of the efforts to continue our strong Oak Hills traditions. Feel free to
contact anyone on the board with any questions or concerns. Thanks for your support!

information on file, so you will need to
re-enter your credit card information each
time you use the online system.
You can access the online payment
website by going to the OHHS website at
http://ohlsd.org/parents.html, then click
on SPS EZpay logo at the bottom of the
Quick Links to be transferred over to the
payment site.
Complete the registration page, and
add your child’s name and ID number.
Once you have registered and created a
password, you will not need the student
ID number again. You can check your
child’s account balances as long as you
have access to the internet. If you elect to
do so, you can even receive a “Low Lunch
Balance” email.
Please be sure to allow SPS EZpay into
your email otherwise it will be considered
spam and will go into your junk email.
We hope this will make payments easier
and more convenient. To set up a limit
on your child’s daily spending please
contact Ruth Holzinger at 467-7123 or
[email protected].
