December 13, Legacy Center Sign-Up

OHS Students and Parents,

We are looking forward to seeing our students and staff again this Thursday at the Legacy Center.  They have been gracious enough to welcome us into their space for a fun morning and afternoon together before the Holiday Break begins.  We are sending this second email out to provide parents and students with the required sign up form and additional details about this gathering. 

As a reminder, it is important to note that this event is for OHS students and staff only. Thursday’s gathering will be offered in two hour blocks by grade levels, based on the capacity of the Legacy Center and the resources available.

  • 9th and 10th grade students will attend from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. 
  • 11th and 12th grade students will attend from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. 

Please complete this required sign up form and waiver by midnight, Tuesday, December 14.  This form and waiver must be completed by parents or students who are 18 years or older.  Students must arrive with their student ID or be able to pull up their PowerSchool account upon arrival.  Our staff will be stationed inside the Urban Air south entrance to check students in based on their last name.  We will have coat racks available, but students will not be permitted to bring any items with themselves, including purses, backpacks and laptops.  We will have grief, trauma and crisis counselors on hand for student supports.  We will also have the Oakland County Sherriff’s Office present throughout the Legacy Center, including a secured entrance. Media is not invited.

Ninth and tenth grade transportation to and from the Legacy Center: 

If your Freshman or Sophomore typically rides a bus to school, the bus will pick them up at their regular late start Wednesday pick up time.   The pick up will occur at each student’s assigned bus stop location.  Student arrival back home will vary based on the number of students choosing to take the bus and will be sometime after the conclusion at 12:00pm.  For students receiving their own transportation, drop off will occur at the Urban Air entrance at the south end of the Legacy Center.

Eleventh and twelfth grade transportation to and from the Legacy Center: 

For students using their own transportation, parking and drop off will occur at the Urban Air entrance at the south end of the Legacy Center.  If your Junior or Senior typically rides a bus to school, our transportation department will still provide them a ride to and from the Legacy Center.  We anticipate the majority of Juniors and Seniors will be using their own transportation.  Therefore, after parents or students complete the required sign up form and waiver, our transportation department will be reaching out to communicate what time you can expect bus pick up before the 1:00pm start.  Student arrival home will vary based on the number of students choosing to take the bus will be sometime after the conclusion at 3:00pm. 

Students will have the opportunity to participate in the following activities (just to name a few): 

  • Curling
  • Bowling
  • Pool/Billiards
  • Urban Air Trampoline Park
  • K-1 Trike (tricycle) Races
  • Corn Hole
  • Fowling
  • Petting Zoo
  • Student Spaces to gather and reconnect
  • Optional grief and trauma therapy opportunities available for students and staff
  • Snacks

We can’t wait to see you in a few days! 

With strength and love, 

Mr. Nuss, Mrs. Gibson-Marshall and Mr. Wolf
