FAFSA Information:
During the soft launch of the 2024-2025 FAFSA, the online application has worked for some families and has not worked for others. Mrs. Kugel will still be available this Wednesday evening (1/17/24) from 6pm-8pm to offer help completing this form.
Please be aware that it is not guaranteed that the form will be working as the shutdowns are not always posted.

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.

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.
