Dear Students, Families, and Staff,

 It is with great excitement that I welcome you to the start of the 2024-2025 school year! Whether you are returning or joining our community for the first time, I am thrilled to have each of you as part of our school district family. 

As we begin this new academic year, we are focused on building upon our past successes while embracing new opportunities for growth and learning. Our dedicated teachers and staff have worked diligently over the summer to prepare engaging lessons and meaningful experiences that will challenge and inspire our students. 

This year, we will continue to prioritize academic excellence, social-emotional well-being, and creating a safe, inclusive environment where every student can thrive. We are committed to fostering curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning in every classroom.   We will continue the tradition of offering Ogdensburg students access to a well-rounded educational experience!

To our students: Your success is at the heart of everything we do. We encourage you to be active participants in your education, to set goals, and to approach challenges with determination and a positive mindset.  Our dedicated faculty and staff are here to support you every step of the way.

To our families: We value your partnership and believe that a strong home-school connection is vital to student success.  We look forward to working with you this year!

As we embark on this new school year, let’s do so with optimism, determination, and a shared vision for excellence. I am confident that by working together, we will make 2024-2025 a year of growth, achievement, and unforgettable memories.

Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!

Welcome to Ogdensburg City School District! 

We hope you find OCSD to be a forward-thinking district that places an emphasis on the social, emotional, and academic well-being of our students and the community. Please know that as educators we strive daily to create a holistic learning environment which fosters and supports achievement for the children of the Ogdensburg community.

Our primary focus is the development of the academic and social skills which will serve as the foundation for each child’s future.   We believe it is our responsibility to provide each child with an educational experience through which they can find success socially, emotionally and academically. From a very young age, our students will begin to develop and utilize the skills necessary to become effective communicators, contentious citizens, and productive workers.

As the Assistant Superintendent, my role is to ensure that all instruction, curriculum activities, and educational initiatives are aligned with the focus and goals mentioned above. Each day I look forward to working with students, parents/guardians, teachers, and school staff toward this pursuit!

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. I can be reached at 315-393-0900, ext. 31903, or by email at breid@ogdensburgk12.org. 

The Ogdensburg City School District mission is to empower and engage
all to learn, create, contribute, and grow.
