OC Families,
It’s hard to believe Easter and Spring Break are right around the corner. After we return from Spring Break, we will have our annual State of the School Association Meeting on Monday, April 13, at 7:00 PM in the Albers Chapel on the high school campus. At this meeting, members of the Ontario Christian School Association can come to receive updates on the school, elect members to the OC School Board of Trustees, and vote on the proposed 2026-27 operating budget.
Not to be confused with the Ontario Christian Parent Association (OCPA), which raises money to fund initiatives that support teachers and students, the Ontario Christian School Association is the legal ownership body of Ontario Christian Schools. Those who profess Jesus as their Savior, support the foundational beliefs of the school, and pay tuition are considered members of the Association. Non-tuition payers may also be eligible for Association membership as long as they have financially supported the school by making a minimum contribution of $250 during the 2025-26 school year.
I encourage you to attend this important meeting to learn more about what is happening at OC, how God has blessed us, and what we, as the OC School Board, are working on. I hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Kevin Vos
Superintendent
Ontario Christian School
