    Dear OMS Families,


    We are almost to the end of the year! There are only a couple weeks left in the school year. If you haven't checked yet, take a look at the Parent Portal to view your students' grades. At the end of the year, I review the F1 column to make decisions regarding summer school and possible retention. If your student is on watch for summer school or retention, a school counselor or administrator reached out to you earlier in the trimester to let you know. Our last day of the school year is Monday, June 17th.


    We have a number of upcoming end of year events. There will be a Spring Dance next Friday, June 7th for Grade 6 (5:00-6:30pm) and Grade 7 (7:00-8:30pm). In Grade 8, there will be a Grade 8 Class Trip to go bowling on Thursday, June 13th. Grade 8 Class Day celebrations, Class Day Ceremony, and the Grade 8 Dance are on Friday, June 14th. Next week, an email will go out to Grade 8 families with more information about the Grade 8 Class Day Ceremony.


    Sincerely,

    Mrs. Katrina Crowley

    Grade 8 Civics Project Grade 8 Civics Project

    All eighth graders recently completed the Gr. 8 spring civics project. Applying civic skills and dispositions, students practiced active citizenship by identifying and researching a local issue/need, contacting community outlets, proposing solutions, and presenting their findings with their class and/or local leaders. Student projects addressed topics including road and sidewalk safety, school safety, school lunches, mental health awareness, teen vaping, youth sports and activities, parks and fields, town beautification, the town theater, intergenerational programs, and a dog park in Stoughton.


    A number of our eighth graders have reached out to Mrs. Crowley (OMS Principal), Dr. Baeta (Superintendent), Mr. Koppe (Director of Food Services), as well as other local officials to share their ideas and propose recommendations for their selected topic.

    Grade 8 Class Day & Promotion Ceremony Grade 8 Class Day & Promotion Ceremony

    The 8th Grade Class Day Promotion Ceremony will take place on Friday, June 14, 2024 at noon in the Stoughton High School auditorium. Because there is limited seating in the Stoughton High School auditorium, each 8th grader will receive two (2) tickets for in-person guests to the ceremony. The event will be livestreamed for other family members to watch live.


    The 8th Grade Class Day Ceremony celebrates the successful completion of the middle school program. More specific details will follow next week!
