OJIBWE SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT

In order to survive both as a people and a culture, we must return full circle to our traditional manner of education. Traditional Anishinaabe society was outcome based and results oriented. Our society was community focused, it was so in order to survive.

BELIEF STATEMENT

The Fond du Lac Reservation Ojibwe Schools are dedicated to providing a quality education, which focuses on integrating the American Indian culture into all students' learning experiences. Every learner will have the opportunity to be challenged, to succeed, and to be prepared for the future. Parents, staff, community, and students will demonstrate the highest level of expectations for themselves and the school.

The school year has been flying by. It will soon be time for our students to take the MCA II's. The 3rd-8th grade students take the Reading and Math assessments.

The 9th grades take a writing assessment. The 10th graders take the Reading assessment. The 11th graders take the Math assessment. The 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students will need to score proficient or higher to graduate from high school. We are working very hard to prepare the students for these assessments.

You can help by making sure your child(ren) are in school every day and when they come to school, they are prepared to learn

2007-08 3rd Quarter Attendance Awards
2007-08 3rd Quarter Honor Rolls


From the Principal...

We are into the 2nd week of the 4th quarter. The MCA II's will be given beginning next week. Please make sure your child is in school every day for the next two weeks. It makes it more difficult for the students if they are not able to take the assessments with their classmates. Doing well on these assessments are not only important for your child, it is important to our school.

There will be no school on April 28th. Our annual school powwow will be on May 8th with a feast at 5:00 p.m. and the Grand Entry at 7:00 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend.

Thank you to the parents who came to conferences last week. We had an excellent turnout.

The students who were in school 95% of the time or more or made the honor roll will be attending a reward activity next week. Congratulations, students and parents, on your hard work!

Remember all our students should be reading at least 20 minutes every night!
