Academics

OMS prides itself on its academic performance...Middle school is exciting! There are more opportunities for students to become involved socially. There are clubs, sports, new friendships forming, social networking via technology, and so on. It is important that students learn early on how to balance it all. Agendas are an important aspect of a student's life at OMS. All students are given an agenda at the beginning of the school year. We can not emphasize enough how important it is for students to take advantage of this tool. Staying organized is an issue for some students. Turning in homework and not losing it can be a challenge for others. The list can go on and on. Please take advantage of the links provided.
