Important Update for High School Families

Starting with the 2026–27 school year, a new Pennsylvania law requires all graduating high school students in public and nonpublic schools to complete one of the following prior to graduation:

1. Complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), OR

2. Submit the Pennsylvania FAFSA Completion Opt-Out Form to the school.

Why complete the FAFSA?

The FAFSA determines eligibility for federal, state, and school aid—including grants, scholarships, work-study programs, and loans. It can help unlock financial support for college, trade school, and post-secondary training programs!

Completing the FAFSA does not obligate a student to attend college or accept financial aid.

If your family chooses not to apply, you simply submit the Opt-Out Form.

The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford is offering Virtual Financial Aid Nights and in-person events in our surrounding areas to answer questions about the FAFSA and navigating financial aid. Additional details can be found below.

Our School Counselor’s Office is here to guide you every step of the way with information, resources, and hands-on help throughout the year.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Ms. Monica Williams, School Counselor, at 814-260-1701 or via email at mwilliams@oswayo.com.

We are excited to announce that Oswayo Valley is now participating in the Community Eligibility Program District Wide!

Please be advised, the speed limit through the school zone is now 15 mph Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. To ensure the safety of our children, please remain alert and adhere to the reduced speed limit.

Attention OVES Families:

We want to remind all parents and guardians that participate in vehicle drop off and pick up each day at the elementary school that you are not to pass cars in line. This creates a very dangerous situation for students that are entering and/or exiting personal vehicles or school vans.

In the mornings, please wait in line at the loop near the doors by the music room. At the end of the day, if you are picking your child(ren) up in a vehicle, please line up at the side of the building by the apple orchard. If there is a need for you to park in the loop near the music room at dismissal, do not drive around the school vans.

Our top priority is creating a safe environment for each child in this building. Thank you for working alongside the school to make drop-offs and pick-ups safe and successful. Should you have any questions, please give my office a call at 814-260-1702 or email me at jcaldwell@oswayo.com.

Thank you,

Ms. Jordan Caldwell

Principal

Oswayo Valley Elementary School
