OCSD Bridges to Independence

OCSD Bridges to Independence We welcome open dialogue, diverse perspectives, and constructive conversations that support our mission of educating and empowering all students for success.

A transition program for Oregon City Students (ages 18-21) who have graduated with a modified diploma but may need continued skills development in areas of employment, independent living, and the pursuit of college goals (post-secondary goals). At Oregon City School District (OCSD), we believe in fostering a respectful, inclusive, and engaging online community that reflects our commitment to learning, collaboration, and belonging. To maintain a safe and positive environment for all users, we ask that you follow these engagement guidelines when interacting with our social media pages:

Respectful Communication
We encourage thoughtful discussion and the sharing of ideas. However, posts or comments containing the following will be removed:
Language or content that is abusive, obscene, or inappropriate, including profanity, hate speech, or sexually explicit material. Discriminatory remarks based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or any other protected status. Personal attacks or derogatory comments about students, staff, or community members. Content that violates the privacy of individuals, including personal or confidential information. Constructive Participation
Stay on topic. Comments should relate to the original post to foster meaningful discussion. Avoid repetitive comments. Posting the same message multiple times disrupts engagement and will be removed. Cite sources when sharing information. Misinformation or unverified claims may be removed to maintain accuracy. Monitoring & Response
Our page administrators regularly review comments and messages and will do their best to respond promptly or direct inquiries to the appropriate district leader(s). Messages are checked during normal OCSD operating hours. Responses may be delayed on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Enforcement & Accountability
Users who repeatedly violate these guidelines may be restricted or banned from the page. OCSD reserves the right to remove any content at any time that does not align with our commitment to a respectful and positive online environment. Legal Disclaimer
OCSD makes every effort to ensure that its social media platforms serve their intended purpose: to inform, engage, and support our school community. However, third-party users may post content that does not reflect the district’s values or policies. When identified, inappropriate content will be removed as promptly as possible, subject to technical limitations of the platform. We appreciate your participation in creating a welcoming and productive online space for our students, families, staff, and community. Thank you for being part of OCSD!

Bridges had our first community outing of the 2026-27 SY! Students participated in a scavenger hunt in downtown Oregon City. It was a great way to get familiar with the downtown area, and spend some time outside. Fall is fast approaching 🍂🍁 and we're looking forward to it!

We’re kicking it off with a scavenger hunt so students can learn the lay of the land at Eastham!

It was another amazing 21 Club Celebration for the Bridges to Independence grads today! We celebrated Thomas and Myles completing the program, rocked out to Thomas' drum solo, got in some good belly laughs at Jackson's comedy routine, was mesmerized by Kayley's magic show, rode the crazy train, and enjoyed a sing a long (always a crowd favorite).

Thank you to ALL who helped pull this year's celebration off. Without your donations, time, and support we wouldn't have been able to do it. You're simply the best!

Congratulations Thomas and Myles!!
