FAFSA Update:
If you are planning to come to either of the Wednesday night FAFSA help nights (January 17th and 24th from 6pm-8pm), I recommend that both student and parent create their FSA IDs. This will allow time for your information to be verified prior to completing the FAFSA application.
Parents may already have created one for other children attending college or if they have recently attended college themselves.
To create the FSA ID, go to: https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch
Congratulations, Emma!
FAFSA Information:
Seniors planning to attend college should be preparing to complete the FAFSA. This free application will provide possible grant money, work study, and student loan opportunities.
This is also going to be used as the application for the Northstar Promise program.
There has been a delay in the new FAFSA application. Mrs. Kugel will still be available in the cafeteria on Wednesday, January 17th and Wednesday, January 24th from 6pm-8pm. There is no guarantee that the site will be working for everyone. Please see the attached links for more information.

K-3 Elementary Concert Tonight!
As the first semester at most colleges comes to an end, it may be necessary to turn in your first semester grades for a scholarship you earned last year. If you were awarded a scholarship that required your first semester grades, please turn in a copy of your transcript to Mrs. Kugel so we can get the scholarship money to you. You can either drop off a transcript or email it to lkugel@osakis.k12.mn.us.
Our 5th-grade students are halfway through the DARE program. Here they are with Officer Gizinski today as an entire group.

The People & the Environment Class had a blast at the Sustainability Challenge at the University of Minnesota Morris on November 15. Students toured several sites to learn more about making rural communities stronger with energy independence. Joining a group of over 150 students from 8 different counties, our students got a close-up look at a wind turbine, solar panels, a prototype battery, and much more. It was a great experience!
