A Message from our Principal:
Welcome to the OQS website. Please explore to find out more about our school. Of course the best way to learn about us is to spend time here; we would be glad to show you around. Please call to arrange a visit.

We are very proud of our school, especially our people. At the Ottauquechee School you will find dedicated and talented staff including classroom teachers, related arts teachers, special educators, paraprofessionals, nurses, a secretary, custodian, lunch agents and others. We are all here to provide our students with a phenomenal learning environment.

Our teachers are continually engaged in high quality professional development. Our curriculum is aligned with the Vermont Frameworks and the Grade Level Expectations. We implement best teaching practices, integrate technology, take field trips, practice hands-on learning, and teachers meet together to develop common assessments, examine student work, and share ideas.

At OQS one finds a very supportive parent and family community. Our parents and PTO support us by organizing numerous events including Teacher Appreciation Week, the Ice Cream Social, Breakfast with Santa, the Ski & Snowboard Program, and the annual Talent Show. They also fund enrichment projects and field trips.

The last group of people, but the most important one, is our youngsters. We have an incredible student body. Our students are hard-working, respectful, and contributing members of our school community.

We take pride in our wonderful facility and keep it looking its best. With our spacious classrooms, gym, cafeteria and kitchen, well-stocked library, dedicated music and art rooms, an outdoor classroom and nature trail, playing fields, and a well-equipped playground, we are very fortunate.

Check out the Hartford School District webpage for more information. Please contact me if I can answer any questions or you would like to visit.

I look forward to seeing you.

Most sincerely,

Amos Kornfeld, Principal
