Costumes At OMS This Year

This year our students and staff have the opportunity to wear school appropriate costumes during the school day on October 31st.

In order to maintain a positive and fun environment, please adhere to the following:

1. Costumes should maintain the integrity of our school dress code.

2. Costumes may not mock another student, faculty member, race, religious or lifestyle preference.

3. Masks or any item that will impede vision or identity are not allowed.

4. Costume accessories that are deemed dangerous or similar to weaponry are not allowed.

5. Face painting should be minimally applied at home so that students' faces are recognizable.

Boys basketball tryouts will take place the last week of October from 2:45-4:30. 7th grade tryouts will be 10/27-10/29 and 8th grade tryouts will be 10/29-10/31. All players must have a physical uploaded into Appryse on the district athletic website.

There will be no game club on 10/16 or 10/23!

Thank you for your support- we look forward to seeing your student at Wakeup Wednesday!

You may begin dropping off your children at 6:55 am and they can wait inside by the Commons until entering the hallways at 7:10 am.

In order to have an efficient flow, we are counting on you to follow all parking lot procedures! We also encourage you to utilize our amazing school bus service which will reduce the congestion & wait time in the parking lot.

Parking Lot Procedures:

• The arrows indicate the directional flow of traffic during student drop-off.

• Blue arrows indicate the drop-off zone for students.

• When you pull into the blue arrow drop-off zone, please pull as far ahead as possible before having your student exit the vehicle.

• *Do not pull up to the main building walkway and stop if there is space ahead*

• If you elect to walk your student(s) to the building entrance, please park in an empty space and walk your student to the sidewalk. You will need to re-enter the traffic flow in the yellow arrow section.

• Only buses are permitted to drop off by the front office area.

Please find the OMS schedules listed below. They are also accessible on our website.
