Contact For Getting Exempt Forms Notarized:

If you are coming from out of state and are not able to get your student’s immunization record, you may fill out an exempt form and get it notarized so we have something on file.
OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATIONS
The OMS Health Office will no longer be supplying over the counter medications. Students will need to provide their own over the counter medications. Starting this year, students are now able to carry their own medications as long as they are over the counter and an OTC form is filled out by a parent or guardian (front and back). This form can be found on the link below:

Any questions, please let your OMS Health Office Nurses know at any time!
Office hours are 7:25am-2:40pm when school is in session.

Volunteers are always needed for each Activity Night and for an occasional field trip throughout the year. If you are interested in helping out at OMS, please feel free to fill out this Volunteer Form. Each person that works with students in our building or on field trips must have an up-to-date background check on file with the Owatonna Public Schools. We thank you in advance for your willingness to help!
Please remember 2-3-3:
Students may check out a maximum of two books which are due three weeks later and can be renewed for a maximum of three check outs.Please return books to the Book Return Cart in the IMC when you are finished with the books or they are due. Students can explore the book collection and view their account by going to Destiny (owatonna.follettdestiny.com), found on the OMS website under "Our School."
The yearbook staff is working hard on this year’s yearbook. Be sure to remember to order by October 26th before prices go up. Current Price: $31.00 + tax. We will have a limited number of books available for sale at the end of the year.
Order your 2025 yearbook at www.jostens.com or call 1-877-767-5217.
Parent/Guardian pick up and drop off happens at Door 13 via the staff parking lot. 15th Street is for bus parking ONLY. When you arrive to drop off your student in the morning, please pull all the way around to the furthest available space near the parking lot exit. Students can walk along the sidewalk safely to enter the building. This allows all the cars behind you to pull forward and avoid backing up in the street. When everyone stops directly in front of the door to drop off their student(s) we are blocking traffic along the road for all other vehicles.
The same process is helpful during pickup time at the end of the day. Please pull all the way around to the parking lot exit to wait. You may fill in any parking spots that are unused in the lot as well. If we all pull around and avoid waiting directly in front of the doors, the process will go much more smoothly for everyone.
Students will not be admitted into the building in the morning until the doors open at 7:35 am.
Students must be picked up by 2:30.
Every student must bring their Chromebook to school every day, fully charged. This does affect students' PAW scores under Work Habits! Teachers will be using these on a daily basis; it is crucial your child brings their computer to school every day!
Having troubles with your Chromebook?
Please call the Parent/Student Technology Hotline: 507-444-8630
Cell phones are "AWAY FOR THE DAY". No cellphone usage is allowed between 7:50-2:20 pm. Phones must be put away in lockers and not on their persons.
From the Parent & Student Handbook:
If a device or cell phone is seen and taken by an adult during the day, it will be turned into the office. For the first infraction, a parent must pick up the phone at the end of the day. For a second infraction, a parent/guardian will be required to pick up the phone or device from school and additional consequences may be assigned including but not limited to a Suite 360 lesson and detention. Any student who incurs three phone infractions will be required to check his/her phone into the office at the beginning of every day; the student may pick up the phone at the end of the day.
Learning is taken very seriously at OMS; therefore, we try to keep classroom interruptions to a minimum:
- Please do not bring or arrange deliveries of bouquets, balloons, stuffed animals and the like to students. They will not be accepted.
- Encourage students to remember their Chromebooks, lunches, gym clothes, musical instruments, etc. We do not have staff to deliver these items, nor do we call the classrooms to have students come down and pick up the items.
- Make afterschool arrangements with your student before school, if possible. We do not interrupt classrooms for these types of messages.
