OHS Weekly Wag 🐾

On Friday, we got into the spirit at OHS. Our 4th graders tackled academics with some fun football-themed activities, and our staff and students showed off their team pride during our Sports Spirit Day. Check out these great photos of our school community learning and celebrating together! 📸⬇️ Enjoy the big game today!🏆🏟️

As part of Strategic Objective #4: Climate and Culture in the District’s Vision 2028, we strive to foster an inclusive, equitable, and positive school environment where all community members feel a sense of belonging. In February, we are celebrating Black History Month by highlighting the accomplishments of Black Americans during our All-School Meetings. Students have also engaged in classroom projects to deepen their learning and appreciation.

Each year, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education releases a report card for every school and district in the state. Similar to how a student's report card reflects their performance in various subjects, these school and district report cards are designed to provide families and the community with an overview of how schools are performing across different areas. The report cards highlight both the strengths of a school or district and areas that may require attention to ensure all students’ needs are being met. Click on the buttons below for a letter that provides information on accessing the school's report card.
