When the decision is made by the parent to withdraw their child from OCSA midyear, the parent must notify the school registrar at least a minimum of one day in advance of the withdrawal date. This provides the registrar and teachers the necessary time to determine and collect the student's withdrawal grades.
Please email the registrar at laura.ely@ocsarts.net with the withdrawal notification. Once notified, the student can pick up the required OCSA withdrawal form from the the registrar for the parent/guardian to complete, sign, and return to the registrar no later than one day prior to the withdrawal.
On the student's last day of attendance, the student must complete the following steps:
- Clean out locker (if applicable), and return lock
- Return the following items to the registrar:
- OCSA Student ID Card
- OCSA Textbooks - lost or damaged books must be paid for prior to release of withdrawal documents
- OCSA Parking Permit, if applicable
On receipt of the signed withdrawal document and school property the parent will be provided with an unofficial transcript, record of immunization, test record, and official withdrawal documentation, which includes withdrawal grades for use when enrolling the student at their new school. The student's cumulative school records will be forwarded to the student's new school upon request from the authorized school.
**Please note that when a parent withdraws a student prior to the completion of the semester, and without the student completing their midterm exams/finals, they put their child at risk for losing credit for the entire semester.
