Students, it is important for you to check your emails more than just once in the morning. Oftentimes, there can be important information to share with you or a change that has been made that you need to know about. Announcements are not always heard, so to ensure you get that important information, you might receive an email as well. So please....check your emails!

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 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!

Homecoming is October 5th through October 10th. Tomorrow, each class will have a chance to meet with their entire class during Fox Time.

Attached is the schedule of events for the week including the times and locations that students will have to work on their HoCO events. Time is limited, so plan ahead. Please read through the schedule and the rules very carefully.

Attention Seniors! I need all seniors at some point to stop into the office to check the spelling of your name for your diploma. Remember, your diploma is an official academic credential and must contain your LEGAL first, middle and last names. We do not want to have to re-print your diploma so it's very important that you come down and initial if the spelling of your name is correct, add your middle name, if necessary or make any other corrections that may be needed. This needs to be done by the end of October so I can get them printed and back in time!

My name is Franki Moscato (girl, 23, Oshkosh). I am “that Wisconsin girl” who won a Gold Ticket on ABC’s American Idol. Perhaps you’ve seen me sing the Anthem for the Packers (5), Bucks (7), NASCAR (1), or Whitehouse (2). I am writing to ask you for help communicating a project I am working on to fight teen suicide.

My story includes being bullied out of two schools and finding myself in a dark place. Today, I use my platform and my non-profit, Franki Moscato Foundation, to advocate for teen suicide prevention.

I am inviting Wisconsin students in grades 6-12 to make a 60-second video about being kind, anti-bullying, or somehow preventing teen suicide. See my contest here: http://BeKindContest.com

Video submissions are due by November 1st. We have to hurry! The winning video will be professionally produced and broadcast as a televised Public Service Announcement across Wisconsin. The kids and adults who worked on the project will be invited to be cast in the production spot, and the author’s parents will win a FunJet vacation to the Dominican Republic!

Fox Friday forms and the box to put them in are located in the MS/HS Media Center. Please take a moment to nominate students and staff you think deserve to be recognized for being safe, responsible, respectful and positive! You can also nominate staff you feel have made a positive connection, is a great role model or who stands up for students. Please fill out a form so we can celebrate our students and staff this week!!! PLEASE NOTE: We expect these to be sincere and genuine, not silly. We are looking for students and staff who are positive, safe, respectful and responsible...

If you are not feeling well, you need to come to the office and we will call a parent FOR you. Per the student handbook as well as the cell phone policy, "Students are not to use telephones to call parents to receive permission to leave school. Office personnel will initiate all calls on behalf of a student seeking permission to leave school."

• Behavior expectations remain the same in the PAC as they are in the classroom.
• You may be in the cafeteria or in the PAC. You may not leave out the West side doors to use the bathroom, you must get a pass from staff on lunch duty.
• Inappropriate language and behaviors are not allowed and will result in you being removed for the next day. This includes tackling, rough, aggressive play, throwing balls at others, kicking balls across the gym and using profanity.
• You may NOT bring open food into the gym.
• EVERYONE needs to help clean up when the bell rings. It is not ok to just kick the balls to the corner of the gym for someone else to clean up.
• Nothing should be left in the gym, including water bottles, chips, trash...
• Always be safe.
• Remember, it is a PRIVILEGE to have the gym open during that time and if you wish to see it continue to be open, you need to be following all behavior expectations.

Cell Phone Reminders:

• You should NOT have your phones on you, or on your desk during classtime. You have 2 options: in your locker powered off, or in the wall pouches in the classroom; that's it.
• "Bell to Bell" means "Bell to Bell". Cellphones should not be picked up until you are leaving the classroom at the end of class.
• These expectations are NOT negotiable and are backed by the school board. Let's make sure we are following these expectations to avoid consequences that will follow, including but not limited to verbal warning, confiscation and detention/suspension.

Athletics and Activities Attendance Policy (Condensed):
Students must attend the full school day to participate in practice or competition. To be eligible on a day with an absence:

• Step 1: A parent must notify the office 24 hours in advance. For emergency medical appointments, parents must call before 8:00 AM the day of the absence. A medical note is required upon arrival.

• 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.

A parent may call a student in for personal reasons as long as they arrive before 2nd hour and are within their 10 excused absences for the year. Unexcused absences mean no participation until the next full day. Final decisions rest with the Dean of Students or Principal.
