Mustang Families,
We are very excited and thank the more that 80% of our families who attended our D123 Family Conferences on October 13th and 14th. This was a great opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge the success of the school year thus far and plan goals for the rest of the trimester and school year!
Picture Retakes: Don’t forget 6th & 7th Grade families. If you need to retake your Fall pictures, please come dressed on Thursday, October 20th. You must turn in the old proofs.
**Just a reminder, Please do NOT wear green**
Don't worry 8th graders, your pictures will be taken on January 12th!
Spectator Permission Form and Code of Conduct: We are quickly approaching home sports games and love to see student spectators. Please use the link to print if you wish to allow your student to cheer on their classmates.
Halloween Half Day: We are all looking forward to some extra fun! Scholars and staff are allowed and encouraged to wear a costume on the 31st or wear orange, purple or black! Here is the LINK for costume guidelines.
Veteran's Day Assembly: Oak Lawn - Hometown Middle School would like to invite you to join us in honoring our veterans on Friday, November 4. Please encourage any veteran who is a neighbor, friend, or family member of District 123 to attend and be honored at our annual assembly. Please take the time to fill out this RSVP by Friday, October 28th if you plan on inviting a veteran to attend this event. The program will be held in the main gymnasium at OLHMS from 9:30am - 10:30am. Our student body will be in attendance, along with our band/chorus, and guest speakers. The event will be broadcasted live for any member that is unable to attend.
