A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

CONSTRUCTION! CONSTRUCTION! CONSTRUCTION! Please see this message from our superintendent:



Due to the impact of the Omro bridge lane closure, OES, OMS, and OHS will open at 7:00 a.m.

for parent drop-off beginning Wednesday, May 13, through the last day of school on Friday,

May 22. The drop off time has been adjusted to provide families additional time to navigate all

the potential detours due to the construction.


OES students may be dropped off at the OES main entrance and will report to the gym, where

they will be supervised by staff members.


Middle school and high school students should be dropped off in the middle school parking

lot. Middle school students will report to the OMS gym, and high school students will report to

the OHS cafeteria. All students will be supervised by staff members.


After discussions with Lamers, the Omro City Administrator, and the Police Department, we

have developed a plan to minimize major bus transportation disruptions. To reduce the time

students are spending on buses, the School District of Omro buses will be escorted by law

enforcement southbound over the HWY 21 bridge. There may still be minor delays to bus

pick-up and drop-off times.



Sincerely,


Jay Jones, Superintendent

The evening recognized 42 members of the Class of 2026 who earned one or more scholarships for their dedication, service, academic and athletic accomplishments, and future goals. Through the remarkable generosity of community donors, more than $129,000 in scholarships was awarded to support these deserving students as they pursue the next chapter of their journeys. Students, staff and administrators wish to thank all of the incredibly generous donors who have provided funds for these scholarships.
