OBMS Family Weekly Update
August 18, 2025

IMPORTANT!!!!
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. 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.

Students may purchase an extra ID to keep in their backpack at any time using the parent portal account or bring in $5 to the school cashier.
