Hello OMS families and welcome to the last OMS Newsletter of the school year!

In today's newsletter you will find a multitude of resources for summer programs and free summer meals. Information about Summer Sun Bucks (formerly summer EBT) has been added. There are also several fun apps kids can download to get them out and exploring the world around them this summer!

If you have not already, please carefully read the information (in the important dates section) for the 8th grade awards ceremony to celebrate all of the hard work 8th graders have put into their middle school career!

Girls Excel in Math and Adventures in Math for students in grades 4 through 6. In these enrichment programs, students will participate in math related games and activities. We will also be teaching Geometric Art with Discovering U for students ages 9 through 11. Discovering U is a robust summer enrichment set of courses with many offerings in different subjects! Our program will focus on using creative mathematical thinking to transform shapes and patterns into art. GEM, AIM, and Geometric Art are designed to foster students' love of math.

Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) is a foundation that promotes making kindness the norm in schools, homes, and work places.

Saint Paul Public Schools will provide meals at no cost to all children 18 and under, and those with a disability currently enrolled in a school program, this summer.

There are state mandated vaccine requirements for all SPPS students entering Kindergarten, 7th and 12th grade. SPPS Online students are NOT exempt from this law. Please submit the needed immunization information (documentation of the vaccinations or documentation of a medical or conscientious exemption) to our school nurse, Jenny Martineau if you have a child entering one of these grades. You can email her at Jennifer.martineau@spps.org or text a picture of the documentation to 651-419-1219.

Summer is a great time to make an appointment for a well child checkup and to make sure that everything is up to date on your child’s vaccines.

For further information regarding these requirements, or to document a medical or conscientious exemption, follow the links below:
