Principal's Message

Greetings, Families!

Please join us next week on Thursday, September 15th from 6:15 to 7:00 pm in the Commons to learn more about the RULER program at OMS. If you aren't able to join us, don't worry, we will share the slide presentation in next week's Branch. *note the original start time was 6:00 pm, it is now 6:15 pm.

We hope you will stay for the first PTA meeting of the year which is also on Thursday, September 15th from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm in the Commons.

Fire/Evacuation Drill Scheduled

The Fire Department has scheduled our fire evacuation drill for Monday, September 12.

**Please note that we will be setting off the alarm for this drill. We will go on the PA system to let our staff and students know the alarm will sound prior to the drill.

Science Club is Back!

Science Club is back with more hands-on science adventures for students in grades two through five. We’re offering two sessions, meeting on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, October 4 through November 16. We meet from 3:35 until 4:45 PM in the LMC.

Session 1: Wheels and More (three or four weeks)

Explore the relationship between potential and kinetic energy, and utilize your design skills to build and test wheeled vehicles.

Session 2: Flight (two or three weeks)

Experiment with a variety of folded paper glider designs, then conclude our fall activities with the ever-popular parachute challenge.

No School Days note: We’ll build a solar powered device on Tuesday, October 4th and Wednesday, November 9 so neither group will miss out when there’s no school on Wednesday, October 5, and Tuesday, November 8.

Want to join in the fun? Complete and return the registration form as soon as possible. Sessions can fill up very quickly. The number of students per session is dependent on the number of adult volunteers.

To ensure that we are able to provide a safe and enjoyable activity at least two adults will be present each day. Any days that do not have at least one adult volunteer will be cancelled. Please consider signing up to help on one or more days as your schedule allows.

*First grade students may only participate if: 1. an older OMS sibling(s) is enrolled in Science Club AND 2. a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle can volunteer to help every day the first grade student attends.
