What is the OCC?

The OCC is the parent-teacher organization at the Oyster-Adams School. We raise money, we organize volunteers, and we spend money to enrich the school experience for all of the students. The OCC's budget  is separate from the DCPS budget. The Board meets monthly. The Board also convenes community meetings typically every other month. All meetings are open. Check the calendar for the date of the next meeting. For more information (policies, documents, meeting minutes, forms, etc.), please see links on the left.

Que es el CCO?

El CCO (Consejo Comunitario de Oyster-Adams) es la organización de padres y profesores.

Hacemos estas cosas para enriquecer la experiencia escolar de todos los estudiantes de Oyster-Adams. El presupuesto del CCO es separado del presupuesto de DCPS. El consejo se reune mensualmente. El Consejo tambien sostiene reuniones con al comunidad por lo general cada dos meses. Todas las reuniones son abiertas al publico. Cheque el calendario para la fecha de la proxima reunion.
