OMS Bulldog Bulletin

The first week of school went well. We are all settling into our routines. We are looking forward to seeing the parents at Back to School Night on Thursday.

We've noticed an ongoing issue with students bringing toys to school. Please help us by ensuring your child leaves toys at home, as they can be distracting in the classroom and often cause distress if lost or misplaced. This includes "Lobubu" keychains. We appreciate your support.

Upcoming Important Dates:

9/24-OMH&S Meeting

9/26-Picture Day and Paw Shop

Please review our private transportation reminders to ensure the safety of our students and staff.

It’s imperative that all of our families follow our procedures so it’s safe for our students/staff and the line moves as quickly as possible.

-During pick up, please make sure you have your last name on the dashboard. This makes the process go much faster!

-Please do not get out of your car. This slows down the process drastically.

-Please pull up all the way and not wait directly in front of the entrance. When cars pull up all the way, the cars cycle through much quicker.

-Do not pass other cars in the line. You must wait for the cars in front of you. This ensures the safety of our students.

-If someone else is picking up your child, please make sure that they are listed in Genesis as an emergency contact. Please share these procedures with them.

We appreciate your support. Thank you!

Please discuss bus rules with your children. It's important for students to follow our safety procedures on the bus. As a reminder, phones should be in the backpack on the bus.

Please review our Birthday/Party Reminders document. Thank you for your support.

Do you know a classroom teacher or educational services professional who is dedicated, inspiring, and making a difference? If so, please take the time to recommend this person for the Governor’s Educator of the Year Program.

Classes will now take turns going to the gym for indoor recess. Mr. Fisco and Mr. LaFerlita designed great activities for the kids. They enjoyed the mini gaga pit and scooters!
