Dear Osseo Middle School Families,
It’s hard to believe, but there are fewer than 80 school days left in the school year! As we approach the final stretch, this is the perfect time to support your student and our school by reinforcing the principles of the Oriole Way: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Resourceful.
We’ve had a successful year so far, and as we celebrate all the progress our students have made, it’s also important to remind them of the daily habits that lead to success. Here’s how we can all work together to keep things on track:
- Be on time for class: Punctuality sets the tone for a productive day.
- Use respectful, school-appropriate language: Words matter, and a positive environment helps everyone succeed.
- Keep cell phones away during learning time: Focusing on classwork without distractions improves engagement and learning.
- Complete assignments on time: Staying on top of schoolwork ensures students are prepared for each new lesson.
The end of trimester 2 is quickly approaching on March 6, giving students time to catch up on assignments or seek additional support if needed. Let’s continue to celebrate the achievements they’ve made this year while encouraging them to finish the trimester strong!
