Mrs. Frias' first grade class had so much fun learning about habitats and creating dioramas. They were able to share their projects with staff and students from other classrooms.

Mr. Stein's 4th grade class had so much fun coding robots!

The Holcomb Reading Masters made it to the top 4 out of 21 teams at the OBOB regional competition. We are so proud of them!

The Reading Masters will represent Holcomb at the OBOB regional tournament this Saturday! We wish them luck!

All Oregon City School District schools are now on a three hour delay start for Monday, March 4, 2024. This is due to road conditions still being unsafe to drive on in the Beavercreek and Redland areas. At this time, we cannot transport our students K-12 in that area safely. By delaying one more hour, we hope to provide time for the conditions to warm up and roads to clear so that all our students may safely get to school.

10:55 am

Middle School Start Times:
12:15 pm

OCHS Start Time:
11:25 am

This week we have 10 Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) teams competing to see who will represent Holcomb at the regional tournament in March. Congratulations and good luck to all of our OBOB students!

For most of us, times have changed a lot since we were children. The abundant access to technology serving as a great example. Today, students have the world at the their fingertips, and can access and interact with all sorts of wonderful resources on the internet. There's no denying that this has been a positive change, but it also comes with a whole new level of precautions as a parent.

Join us on Saturday, February 24, 2024 at Oregon City High School at our Family Focus Forum to learn more about online safety for parents of children of all ages.

The Children's Center is offering a session that will share clear information about online safety, with a focus on what parents and caregivers can do to help their kids be safe online. It will review what is known about the impact of technology on children, share strategies for maintaining safety and addressing concerns, and review resources for ongoing support and information on these topics. With this wonderful resource, you will leave feeling empowered with tools to navigate critical conversations about digital safety with their children.
