The Sports Pavilion at The Studios @ Central is beginning to rise from the blacktop. A similar Sports Pavilion is also under construction at Ishi Hills Middle School. Funding for these projects is from our Expanded Learning Opportunities Program.

Over the Christmas break, new ceiling tiles and blinds were installed in the gym at The Studios @ Central.

Over the holiday break, OCESD's food services staff prepared and distributed over 1,800 meals to OCESD students. The nutritious meals were greatly appreciated during a time of year when students do not typically have access to school meals. Great work OCESD Food Services staff!

Construction has begun on the footings for the covered outdoor sports pavilions at Ishi Hills Middle School and The Studios @ Central. The steel structures were fabricated in Michigan and delivered via 14 semi-trucks so once the footings are ready, we can proceed with construction immediately. The structures, in addition to new playground equipment and shade structures at our elementary schools, are being funded with Expanded Learning Opportunities Program funding.
