OBMS Family Weekly Update

PARENTS: If you have not set up your parent portal or have not tried to go into your parent portal this year, please do so ASAP. There are several forms that need to be completed for the start of the school year. This is a new procedure and takes the place of the first day folders that used to come home. You cannot access this information by logging into your child's FOCUS/ Gradebook account. You must log in to YOUR PARENT PORTAL account. It should be much faster for you to complete than the paper froms from the past. These forms are extremely important for your student in terms of safety, instructional materials, laptop check out, etc. Yes, it will take a few minutes to complete, but it is worth it! We are very appreciative of the time it will take you to complete these forms because it will help us help your child. See below for a flyer on how to set up your account.

• This Wednesday is an early release day. Please plan for a 3:15 dismissal.
• Cross Country Athletes: There will be a parent meeting Monday, August 25th at 5:00 in the gym.
• Please remind your student it is a state law all students in secondary schools must wear a photo ID while they are on campus. We provided every students with their first ID free. If they do not have their ID, we will print them a new one and charge their account which can be paid in parent portal. ID replacements are $5 each. Students may purchase an extra ID to keep in their backpack any time using the parent portal account or bring in $5 to the school cashier.
• Statewide FAST Progress Monitoring 1 (PM1) for ELA and math will be this week. Please informational letters for parents below. Due to test security students will not be permitted to wear hoodies or have their electronic devices during the test administration. Students will put their electronic devices in a personalized bag provided to them and turn the bag into the testing bin to be kept on the teacher's desk during the testing administration.
