There will be NO SCHOOL on Wednesday, November 25 - Friday, November 27th
All middle school sports are on hold at this time. OASD is committed to providing athletic opportunities for our students if the situation is available. This will be re-evaluated in early January.
CTMS's Student Council is partnering with the Oshkosh Fire Department to help families in need over the holiday season. We'll be collecting new toys for children of all ages, with a special emphasis on gifts for teenagers. We're also collecting donations of canned goods and non-perishables. All donations can be dropped off at Door 1 of Traeger Middle School on Monday December 7th and Tuesday December 8th from 8:00am-3:00pm. On Wednesday December 9th we'll be accepting donations from 8:00am-noon, and donations will be picked up by the Oshkosh Fire Department in the afternoon. CLICK HERE for details. If you have any questions please contact our school counselor Mrs VandeHei at abigail.vandehei@oshkosh.k12.wi.us
On behalf of our student council, thank you for helping those in need this season.

Dear Traeger Families::)
I just wanted to say how happy we are to have kids back in the building!!! While it is only half and half right now at least it is a step in the right direction!!! I am sure we will be back at full force (all kids 5 days/week) very soon!!!!
Please ask your son/daughter about their scheduling information. We will be choosing classes for next year on January 28th and 29th. If you could look the sheet over with your student, help them make their choices and make sure it is signed and sent back next Monday or Tuesday so it is here when we schedule at the end of the week I would greatly appreciate it!!!
Thank you all so much for being so great and supporting everyone's efforts!!
Have a great weekend,
Jill
