BACK TO SCHOOL OPEN HOUSE
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2007
7:30 GENERAL MEETING IN THE AUDITORIUM
PARENTS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET OUR TEACHERS AND LEARN ABOUT COURSE CONTENT, GRADING SYSTEMS AND EXPECTATIONS AS THEY FOLLOW THEIR STUDENTS’ ABBREVIATED SEVEN PERIOD SCHEDULE. PARENTS WILL ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SCHEDULE PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES FOR THE EVENINGS OF OCTOBER 31 AND NOVEMBER 1. THIS IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THE PTO AND ORDER A SCHOOL DIRECTORY.
The Oakwood Schools, in coordination with the Montgomery County Auditor’s Office, will hold a meeting for Oakwood Senior Citizens on Thursday, Sept. 13 at 11 a.m. at the Board Office Building. The purpose of the meeting will be an opportunity for senior citizens to sign up for the newly expanded Homestead Exemption and to ask questions about taxes and the school district operations.
Oakwood School Treasurer Kevin Philo and Montgomery County Auditor Karl Keith will lead the meeting and also be available to help seniors fill out the necessary application for the Homestead Exemption.
The Homestead program is designed to provide tax credit relief to citizens who are least 65 years of age or are permanently and totally disabled. An applicant must own and reside in the home for which they are applying. On June 30, 2007 Governor Strickland signed into law new guidelines for the Homestead program that eliminated income eligibility guidelines. Now any homeowner who is 65 or older is eligible for an exemption.
The new law exempts the first $25,000 of appraised value of the home, which can save senior citizens hundreds of dollars annually on their tax bill. Seniors must apply by Oct. 1. County Auditor Karl Keith has made many presentations about the exemption throughout Montgomery County and his goal is to sign up 30,000 new applicants with his extensive public relations and outreach campaign.
The Oakwood Schools will provide sandwiches and refreshments for this meeting at the Board Office, located at 20 Rubicon Road, directly behind the Oakwood Post Office. If you have any questions about this meeting, please contact School Treasurer Kevin Philo at 297-5332.
The commencement DVD’s are in the high school office. Feel free to stop by to pick up your copy. The 2006-2007 yearbooks will be here in late September or early October.
