Principal's Message
Dear OMS Families,
What a beautiful week of weather. We are so happy that our families have been walking and riding bikes to school. Please take a moment to watch the following bike video with your child so they know our procedures for parking bikes each morning. It is important that your child have a bike lock as we have had a bike stolen in the past. All bikes should be walked on the front plaza and blacktop to ensure the safety of everyone arriving and leaving school.
Sincerely,
Erin, Julia, and the OMS Staff
Placement 23-24 Optional Parent Input
At OMS, the student placement process for the upcoming school year is taken very seriously. Each spring, our teachers engage in a collaborative process to create healthy learning groups. We work together to ensure balance in a wide variety of areas including heterogeneously grouped students or students of varying abilities, students with special needs or concerns, social/behavior patterns of students, gender, the number of students assigned per room, learning styles of the students, peer relationships, classroom structure, and the instructional styles of the receiving teacher. We ask that you trust our teaching staff in this process.
However, if you feel there is information that would not otherwise be considered in our student placement process, you will find an OPTIONAL form that you may fill out below. Please know that the placement process for all OMS students is extensive and considers many factors. PLEASE DO NOT NAME SPECIFIC TEACHERS ON THIS FORM AS WE CANNOT HONOR SPECIFIC REQUESTS. We appreciate your understanding and support.
THIS FORM MUST BE FILLED OUT EACH YEAR. We believe that students learn, grow, and mature therefore requests from previous years are not considered.
The deadline for completing this form is April 30th. Information shared after April 30th may not be considered.
Lost and Found - All Unclaimed Items
Please look at the pictures linked below and email edavis@sd25.org with the photo number, item description, student name, and teacher. We will return the items to your child. There are still A LOT of unclaimed items. Items not claimed by April 28th will be donated.
