OLHMS Weekly

Mustang Families,

We hope everyone had a wonderful extended weekend and took the opportunity to reflect on Dr. Martin Luther King and his legacy! Although we continue navigating the rapidly changing path of the never ending pandemic, we could not be more proud of our scholars for their daily efforts! We also greatly appreciate all of our families being incredibly patient and supportive throughout these challenges!

Here are a few updates and reminders:

Winter Weather: Please make sure our scholars are dressing appropriately for the elements!

COVID Update: We have seen a large number of positive COVID cases since our return from break. Please keep yourselves and families safe by following all of the recommended guidelines. We will continue to place an emphasis on the safety of our scholars, staff and school community by following all of our layered mitigation protocols and strategies. We are also looking for additional changes to the guidance very soon.

Covid Cards/ Student Status: Families now have an option in Skyward to post student status. Families will be able to enter and upload their child's Covid-19 vaccine information in Skyward Family Access (see attached/ linked below). Here is the link for directions- information/directions

Students and teachers across Illinois now have the opportunity to participate in the ninth annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. This survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of the inner workings of your child’s school. As a parent, this opportunity will allow you to share your thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness. Additionally, your 4th-8th grade student will be asked about their experiences in school to help give school leaders critical student input and help develop future school improvement plans. If you would like to view the student survey questions or opt-out your student please complete the form found at: d123.org/five. You and your student's identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and anonymous. To get started with the survey head to d123.org/five.
