Educating Ogdensburg’s students is our priority, and we value our partnership with parents, guardians, and the community. The goal of the Ogdensburg CSD Communications Office is to keep district families and community members informed of all OCSD happenings. From updates made on this website to the print materials that enter your home, our office is dedicated to making sure the lines of communication between the district and members of our community are strong.
ParentSquare
The Ogdensburg City School District uses ParentSquare, a unified communications platform designed to keep parents and guardians informed and to encourage greater engagement and connection between home and school. It provides a safe way for school administrators, teachers, staff, and parents to:
- Receive important alerts,
- Send and receive school and class information,
- Share pictures and files,
- View Calendar items,
- Sign up to volunteer, and
- Schedule parent-teacher conferences
All district and school, grade level, and classroom information is sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text.

SchoolTool Parent Portal
The district’s parent portal, SchoolTool, is a password protected secure website that offers parents and students online access to personalized information about a student’s academic program and progress.
Student report cards, interim reports and academic schedules for students in grades 6-12 are posted.

Parent-Teacher Communication
Communication between the parent(s) and school is very important. Parent conferences for all grade levels are scheduled in the fall. In addition, parents of all junior kindergarten, kindergarten, first grade and second grade students may also have a parent-teacher conference at a later date in the school year. Parents are encouraged to conference with teachers, as well as with any other specialist with whom the child works (i.e. Speech, Title I, Resource Room).
If you would like to conference with your child’s teacher in addition to regular designated times, please feel free to contact that teacher to set up an appointment.
Who to Contact Chain of Command
To best address individual concerns, please begin the process with the person closest to the issue/problem so that specific information can be gathered. This often leads to the solution. For example, Classroom Teacher or Special Area Teacher > Principal > Assistant Superintendent > Superintendent, or the Board of Education.
