OCC
Family Annual Contribution
Each year, we need your help. The Annual Family Contribution is the primary source of our school's fundraising budget. The OCC requests each family contribute $450 per enrolled student. Your donation pays for things like classroom supplies, our bilingual library, tutoring, and electronic learning apps. Your support helps supplement our Science Technology Engineering Art & Math (STEAM) curricula and our fine and performing arts and music programs, and makes student clubs and sports possible.
School Supplies
You do not need to buy school supplies for your child.
Instead, families should contribute to the OA Annual Fund. Your school supply contribution ensures that each student will receive their own back to school kit for virtual learning with supplies to use at home; and that each teacher will have the classroom supplies they need.
