Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to the Octorara Intermediate School. My name is Dr. Christian Haller and I have been the principal at OIS since 2009. The OIS is an important stop along a student's journey to graduation. At OIS the Administration and Staff take pride in assisting students with the transition from elementary school to secondary school. We provide a rigorous curriculum and nurturing environment.

Our curriculum is based on the PA Core Standards. Math teachers at the OIS will use Maneuvering the Middle as their resource and ELA teachers will introduce CKLA/Amplify. Science teachers will use resources aligned to the STEELS standards.

The OIS uses a School-wide Positive Behavior Support Plan to assist students with learning and following school-wide expectations for behavior. We expect students to be respectful and courteous, to listen and follow directions, and to work and play safely each day.

I encourage you to contact me if you have any questions about the OIS program. You may reach me at Email Christian Haller or by calling 610-593-4608.

Thank you and welcome to OIS.

Sincerely,
Christian Haller
