Mustang Families,
We hope you enjoyed the extended weekend celebrating the D123 Board-Declared Holiday for Easter. As we return, there will be an exciting energy in the building as we head into the final stretch of this successful 2024–2025 school year!
This week is filled with meaningful learning and community connection. Today, is Earth Day and our scholars will be getting prepared and focused on environmental responsibility and sustainability looking ahead to Service Day. This learning will build momentum for one of our favorite OLHMS traditions—Service Day, happening this Friday! It’s a powerful opportunity for our students to give back and show Mustang pride through hands-on service projects that support our school and community.
We’re also thrilled to be visiting all of our 5th-grade classrooms this week as we welcome our soon-to-be Mustangs! These visits are a great way to build excitement and help ease the transition into middle school. We can’t wait for them to experience the supportive and spirited environment that makes OLHMS such a special place.
As we continue through testing season and look ahead to events like the D123 Art Fest, 5th-grade transition visits/ tours, and the Variety Show, we’re filled with pride and anticipation. Thank you for your continued support and partnership—it truly makes all the difference.
Let’s keep the momentum going and finish the year strong!

We do expect and desire to have 100% of our scholars earn the opportunity to walk the stage with their graduating 2025 Class. We have been and will continue to communicate with families if any scholar is in jeopardy of this opportunity.
Mustang families we need your support!
We need all families dropping off or picking up our scholars to be more responsible, respectful and safe. Recently, we have seen too many cars driving too fast during drop off and pick up. We have also seen cars passing and driving around other cars way too close to students- please be patient, cautious and courteous. Remember was are all modeling our Mustang Musts! The same can be said while buses are loading and unloading. Please pull all the way up in the circle drive before dropping off. This will help the traffic flow.
As a reminder, families should not be using the main entrance parking lot to drop off or pick up between 8:15-8:45 am and 3:15-3:45 pm while the buses are present.
We’re glad to see our scholars taking pride in their hygiene and personal care! However, the use of cologne and perfume has become overwhelming at times and is occasionally being applied inappropriately during the school day. To ensure a comfortable learning environment for everyone, we kindly ask that students leave their scented products at home.
Please take a moment to discuss with your child the proper use and appropriate amounts of fragrance. While we appreciate the effort to smell nice, excessive scents can be distracting and overpowering in shared spaces. Thank you for your support in helping us maintain a pleasant and respectful atmosphere for all!
Bus Behavior: Please remind bus riders that we must be following our Mustang Musts. We have been hearing about challenging, inappropriate and unsafe behavior on the bus riders to and from school. We do have the ability to request bus video footage. Students will be given consequences for their behavior which may include a suspension from the bus.
Bus Loading and Unloading: Families should not be passing buses in our parking lot. This is dangerous and almost caused an accident. Do not pass buses with their stop sign extended.
