Principal's Message

Dear OMS Community,

We have made it to the end of the 2023-2024 school year! We are proud of the hard work of our students this year. I would like to thank all of our OMS faculty and staff for their daily support of our students during the school year. I would especially like to thank all of the parents/guardians for supporting your students in middle school this year. It takes teamwork to help our students learn and grow throughout the school year.

Final report cards will be issued on Tuesday, June 18th. The final report cards include comments for our year-long classes. Comments for trimester classes can be found under Trimester 3 in the Parent Portal.

Bus applications for the 24-25 school year are currently open on the Parent Portal. The last day to submit a bus application is June 28, 2024.

School supply lists will be available on the OMS website. These lists are general supply lists for courses. If there are any specific supplies for teams, then those lists will be shared later in the summer once teams and schedules are shared. Teams and student schedules for the 24-25 school year will be shared in late August.

6th and 7th graders, I hope you have a great summer break and we will see you back at OMS in September!

8th graders, the teachers and I are proud of all of your hard work and we wish you the best in high school!

I hope you all have a great summer break!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Katrina Crowley

SEPAC Bright Knight Award

The Stoughton SEPAC appreciates the dedication of our educational staff and all they do for students with unique learning needs. Parents with children with an Individualized Education Plan or 504 are invited to nominate one staff member who has built a special bond with their child and has been instrumental in helping them achieve their full potential, enjoy school, and access the curriculum.

Nominations are due at the end of the school year by completing the Google form briefly stating why you wish to nominate the staff member in question. The awards will be the following September when the Stoughton SEPAC publicly thanks the staff members by inviting them to a fall meeting to be presented with a certificate of appreciation.

We may use an excerpt from the nomination at the awards night. Only ONE staff member per person can be nominated. Only TWO staff members per school can be awarded that year’s Leading the Way to Excellence.

Please see our flyer attached. Here's the link to the nomination form: bit.ly/sepacaward.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reply to this email or reach out to Kellie Laguerre, the SEPAC member chairing this program. Kellie's email is kellielaguerre@gmail.com.
