Parents Seminars
Join us for our quarterly Parent Seminars to learn more about the O-School and its clinical approach. Topics covered include building relationships, transitional planning, family connections, and more. The seminars are led by the O-School’s clinically trained and licensed leadership staff.
Welcome Calls
New O-School parents can receive a welcome call or email from a current O-School parent. This service allows parents of newly admitted students to make a personal connection with someone who has recently been in their shoes. These calls often help new parents feel more comfortable, supported, and informed as their family starts its O-School journey.
Family Events
Every year the O-School offers numerous family events, including academic open houses, parent/teacher conferences, a family BBQ, a spaghetti lunch, eighth-grade graduation, and a prom. These events give parents the chance to spend time at the O-School with their child, chat with staff, and mingle with fellow parents.
Expanding and Building Parent Leadership
For those parents who are interested in taking on leadership roles or helping the school, please reach out. We would love to hear from you. We have a variety of ways you can support the O-School, and we are open to new ideas as well.
For more information regarding any of the opportunities above, please contact Ellie Badesch, Director of Compliance and Special Projects, at ebadesch@oschool.org or at 773-420-2892 to learn more.
