Hello Pioneer Family,
We want to inform you that, under Federal guidelines, schools are to notify families that breakfast and free/reduced lunches are available to all eligible families. Ensuring every child has access to nutritious meals is our commitment. To learn more and apply for the fee/reduced lunch program, please get in touch with Danni Bockman at dbockman@okobojischools.org or call 712-338-4757.
Thank you for your partnership in promoting the well-being of our students.
In the Okoboji School District, we genuinely care about the overall well-being of our students AND their families. That's why we are thrilled to offer our FREE Student and Family Assistance Program! This amazing service is confidential and provided by masters-level counselors, ensuring top-notch support for all our students and their families.
Whether you're facing academic challenges, personal issues, or just need someone to talk to, our Student and Family Assistance Program is here for you! Available both in and outside of school, this service is paid for by the district to assist families in prioritizing mental health. Simply dial the number on our flyer, and you will be connected with a counseling professional for up to 6 FREE sessions to lend a helping hand, providing the support you need to thrive.
Remember, your well-being matters to us and Pioneering Pathways includes mental health support. There's no need to face challenges alone. Reach out today to our Student and Family Assistance Program and experience the caring, confidential support that is just a call away! Please see the flyer for the contact information and for more information.
This week the Algona community was rocked by the death of Police Officer Kevin Cram. Officer Cram was shot and killed in the line of duty. Officer Cram was a 10-year law enforcement veteran and also a husband and a father to young children.
In an effort to support Officer Cram's family in this difficult time, the Okoboji Pioneer Booster Club will be collecting free-will donations in buckets at the concession stand at tonight's Okoboji/Estherville football game. All donations raised will be given to Officer Cram's family.
If you are attending tonight's game, please consider donating to help Officer Cram's wife and children.
We are excited to announce that the official photographer of Okoboji Schools, Rocky Thompson and Split Rock Photography, now has an online gallery for all Okoboji Activity photos. Any time Rocky photographs an Okoboji event, a gallery will be available on this site where social media quality images can be downloaded for FREE and high-quality photos can be ordered.
The galleries can be found at https://rockythompsonphotography.shootproof.com/gallery/22179064/home
This is a great way to be able to access awesome photos of our kids and their events!
We're thrilled to share that our new school year started on a high note. Our teachers and staff collaborated wonderfully to create an engaging and welcoming environment for your children as they begin next week's new school year. Exciting times lie ahead, and we are committed to a year of growth and learning together. Pioneering Pathways For Every Student!

Please take a moment to honor those that go above and beyond! Below is the Board Salute and Pioneer Student Recognition Programs link.

We are pleased to announce an exciting development regarding our student instructional fees. Effective immediately, we have decided to reduce instructional fees by an impressive 50%!
This will reduce the financial burden on our families. We can do this by restructuring our Instructional Support Levy funding. Please see the attached memo for more information, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
Okoboji recently launched our new website and communications app, Okoboji CSD, which can be downloaded via the Apple App Store or Google’s Play Store. Search Okoboji CSD!
The primary focus of our new website is to reach out to new families to highlight all the schools’ features, news, events, and marketing. In contrast, the Okoboji CSD app is a communication tool for our parents and students. This app will highlight events, enable one-on-one communications, access documents, receive alert notifications, classroom events, and much more.
Unfortunately, the Infinite Campus app does not integrate with the Okoboji CSD app. Therefore, you must make sure you download the Infinite Campus app in addition to the Okoboji CSD app.
The Okoboji CSD app is designed for communications, whereas the Infinite Campus app is intended for official school functions. A place to view current grades, schedules, pay for lunch and school fees, and report absences starting this school year.
You can find the Infinite Campus app in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, search Infinite Campus; there is an app for students and one for parents.
Thank you for supporting the Okoboji school district!
We are loving our new app! Access documents, news
updates, and even emergency notifications, right from your
pocket.
