1. Today (9/6/23): Students and teachers who aren't in airconditioned rooms will take breaks in alternate classrooms, meeting rooms, and spaces being made available so everyone gets out of the heat at some point. Outside activities will be limited. Building administrators will advise staff.
2. Tomorrow (9/7/23): We WILL have an early dismissal for the Middle School and High School only because Goodwin has air-conditioning. The Middle School will dismiss at 11:55, and the High School will dismiss at 12:00. The Middle School will proceed with open house for parents tomorrow night.
The first week of school was a tremendous success! Welcome back, Rams!
Mark your calendars! The OSMS Open House will take place the evening of September 7th. We look forward to seeing you. See your email for more specific information including grade level times.
Grade 5 Families,
Don't forget that Tuesday from 1-2pm is the grade 5 student drop-in. Students can meet their teachers and may have time to check out their lockers. Parents are welcome. Teachers have a lot of work to do to get ready so please understand that drop-in will end promptly at 2.
We look forward to meeting you!
