MEMORANDUM
Date: May 20, 2025
To: Public
From: OSSAA
Subject: Public Service Announcement – One-Time Change of School Hardship Waiver
To be eligible for a one-time change of school hardship, students must submit a Student Transfer Application through the State Department of Education’s website between June 1st and July 15th.
If a student is returning to their home district, the school must provide documentation showing the student began the enrollment process on or before July 15th.
Details of the criteria can be found on the OSSAA Website under “One Time Change of School Hardship Criteria.” Students who miss the July 15th deadline will not be granted a hardship under the “one-time change of school” criteria.
A hardship waiver submitted after the deadline must demonstrate an unusual, unforeseen, or unavoidable circumstance that compelled the student to change schools.
Once the student has begun the enrollment process, the school is responsible for submitting the hardship waiver to the OSSAA.

After a full day of rehearsals, meeting fellow musicians, and preparing challenging music, they capped off the evening with an unforgettable two-hour concert.

🚨 SAFETY ALERT FOR PARENTS & STUDENTS 🚨
A dangerous trend called “Chromebook Smoke” is circulating on TikTok. It involves inserting pencil graphite or metal objects into Chromebook USB ports, which can cause:
🔥 Fires or overheating
💻 Chromebook battery explosions
☠️ Toxic smoke exposure
🚑 Risk of serious injury
We know you care about your child’s safety, and we do too. That’s why we’re asking all parents to talk with their students about the risks and the real-life consequences of this behavior — far beyond social media likes.
📱 Important to know:
🔹This damage is not covered by chromebook insurance
🔹Families will be charged the $250 replacement cost
🔹This is destruction of school property and may lead to disciplinary action or legal consequences
