Dear Families,

First, thank you for your patience and cooperation during this morning’s drop-off. We were expecting some rain, but the downpour caught us a bit by surprise! Thankfully, everyone made it inside safely and we were able to start our learning day as planned.

The next two weeks will be busy ones at the Nest. Students in grades 3–5 will continue state testing, and we have several exciting events coming up, including assemblies with the Hogan Irish Dancers and the Great Works Theater Company, STEAM Night, and the 4th/5th Grade PTA Activity Night. With so much happening, it will certainly be an active couple of weeks, and we will all be ready for a well-deserved spring break!

Sincerely,

Erin, Julia, and the OMS Staff

Next week, D25 will send ALL families an attendance update via email. The update shares the number of tardies and absences your child has. Per our student handbook, anything over five percent is technically considered truant. We understand students get sick multiple times a year and families sometimes take vacations. If we have concerns with your child's attendance or tardies we will reach out to you directly.

Hoot, Hoot, Hooray! 23% of our parent community has responded! Thank you!

You can still complete the survey the deadline is March 13!
