Creating Community & Building Belonging

At Oyster River Cooperative School District, we are dedicated to fostering a learning environment where every student, educator, and community member experiences a true sense of belonging. We recognize that belonging is not just about inclusion—it’s about ensuring that every individual is treated with dignity. 

Dignity is the foundation of a thriving community and a key driver of student success. When we honor the inherent worth of each person, we create schools where students feel safe, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential. By cultivating meaningful relationships, engaging in curiosity, embracing different perspectives, and fostering respect and understanding, we strengthen our community and enrich the educational experience for all. 

Together, we are building a culture for everyone—one where every student knows they matter, and every voice contributes to our shared growth and collaboration as a collective. 

Welcome to a district where community, dignity, and belonging are at the heart of everything we do.
