• Step 2: Student collects an excused slip from the office with the medical note.

• Step 3: Student gives the excused slip to their coach/advisor before participating.

We are excited to share our 2026 Summer Athletics Schedule. Last year, the WIAA approved unlimited summer contact for coaches, and based on feedback from coaches, athletes, and families, we have made some modifications to help best support our many multisport athletes.

The Omro Booster Foundation has opened registration for the 2026 golf outing on June 13th at Westhaven Golf Club. The Booster Foundation supports all extracurricular activities, this year some examples of donations they made include:

• Providing snacks for the math team
• Stall mats for the equestrian team
• Uniforms for the powerlifting team
• Uniforms for the dance team
  
• Nets and standards for volleyball
  
• Coach bus to wrestling tournament in Michigan

This is OBF's major fundraiser and provides them with much of the funds to help support our students, so please consider supporting this event. Only open to the first 36 teams.

26-27 Dance Tryouts are coming up on April 25 at 8:00am in the Den! Packets can be picked up in the office and 8-11 grades are welcome to try out!!

Please go to the Student Resource page and scroll to the bottom. This will take you to my new request form. Mrs. LaFleur is hoping this will be an easier way for everyone to get in touch with her.

Scholarship Search - pay attention to deadlines

• Check with parents, employers, and organizations you belong to for scholarship opportunities

• Review our OHS Scholarship Listing on a weekly basis

• Apply for scholarships offered by your destination college or tech college

• Apply for our local scholarships in January

Have you scheduled an upcoming College visit?

In order for your College visits to be excused, you MUST do ALL of the following:

1. You must have a pre-arranged absence form completed, signed and TURNED IN.

2. You must forward the email that you receive from the college or technical school confirming that you have been scheduled for a visit to Mrs. Stadler at cstad@omro.k12.wi.us.

3. You must provide proof you attended the visit, such as a photo in front of that school's sign, a note on school letterhead, a photo of your sign in, etc...

Please make sure you are following the correct procedure so that your absence is excused!

In order for students to meet with recruiters, the recruiter needs to set up appointments THROUGH GUIDANCE and they should be scheduled during study hall. Please do not just set something up on your own with them as we do not allow recruiters free access to students without going through the proper procedure. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with the office or guidance.
