Kindness is at the heart of our school community! We will have our Great Kindness Challenge with Spirit Days at the end of January. Please see the Great Kindness Challenge Flyer for more information. We will celebrate the 100th Day of School on February 10. Please see the link for more information. We are looking forward to celebrating Valentine's Day. Please read our Valentine's Day Reminders before purchasing valentines. Thank you!

The Pick Up Patrol app has been working very well and has helped make our dismissal process much more organized. Thank you for your cooperation! Please remember to use the Pick Up Patrol app whenever there is a change in dismissal or if your child will have an early dismissal from school. This helps us ensure that all students are dismissed safely and efficiently. If possible, we kindly ask that you avoid picking up your child during lunch or recess. Picking up either before or after these times allows us to dismiss your child to you as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Regular attendance is very important to your child’s success at school. If your child will be absent, please be sure to notify the school by emailing OMSoffice@wallpublicschools.org or calling the main office.Thank you for helping us keep our records accurate and for your continued support.

As a friendly reminder, we go outside for recess as often as possible. Please help your child(ren) come prepared for the colder weather by wearing coats, gloves, and hats. Thank you!
