Osceola Elementary School PTO

Welcome back, Wildcats! 🐾✨

The halls are buzzing, the high-fives are flowing, and Day One of the 2026–2027 school year is officially in the books! We loved seeing so many bright smiles, shiny backpacks, and giant hug-and-go goodbyes this morning.

A huge shoutout to our incredible teachers, staff, and volunteers for making this morning run so smoothly. This year is all about watching our students grow in every way possible, and today was the perfect start. (Pictured: Mrs. Mead walking in one of our new kindergarteners 🥹)

📸 Show us those First Day smiles! Drop your favorite Day 1 photos in the comments below—we’d love to see all your proud moments!
Here’s to an amazing year ahead! 💚🌱

Tomorrow is the first day of school!
To make sure morning drop-off and the first day go smoothly, here is what you need to know:

* Check ParentSquare: Log into ParentSquare tonight to review all school-wide announcements, arrival/dismissal procedures, and classroom-specific updates from teachers.

* Prep the Night Before: Lay out clothes, pack lunch, and make sure backpacks are loaded with all essential supplies to avoid a last-minute morning rush.

* Confirm Schedule Details: Double-check start times, bus pickup locations, or carpool lanes in ParentSquare before heading out.

Here is to new friends, great teachers, and a fantastic year ahead. Have a great first day! 🎒

A good reminder to help keep our Wildcats bus riders safe!

As we close out the week, Mrs. Mead and Mr. Esguerra loved seeing all the Wildcat students, families, and staff last night and can’t wait to see you back next week! Tell us what you’re most excited about for this school year…👇

What a fantastic Meet the Teacher Night at Osceola Elementary! 💙🐾

It was wonderful welcoming our Wildcats and their families back into the building, meeting new faces, reconnecting with familiar ones, and feeling the excitement for an incredible school year ahead. Thank you to our amazing teachers and staff for creating such warm, welcoming classrooms and helping every family feel at home.

As we begin a new year together, we're ready to grow and learn! We can't wait to see all of our Wildcats back on campus and make the 2026–2027 school year our best yet.

As we kick off an amazing school year, we're feeling incredibly grateful for the support of our community! 💙🐾
A huge thank you to Allison Bast at Equitable for treating our staff to delicious donuts, Craig Collins and our wonderful new neighbors at Rise Apartments for providing a fantastic pizza lunch, and Sunbelt for the 18,000 school supplies and our local Costco for generously donating backpacks to help equip our Wildcats for a successful year.
Your kindness and generosity remind us that it truly takes a community to help our students and staff thrive. Thank you for investing in Osceola Elementary—we appreciate you!
