Announcements/ Reminders
Mustang Families,
We hope everyone enjoyed the extended weekend and took advantage of this beautiful weather!! We had a wonderful display of future options during our OLHMS Career Fair finishing last week! We appreciate each of our community members' time and enthusiasm! Thank you to our scholars for their engagement and our staff support, especially our Counseling Team for their coordination!
Service Day: Friday, April 28th 9AM-12:30PM we are looking for adult volunteers to help support our OLHMS Staff facilitate service related field trips for our 7th and 8th grade students. Please know you will need to ride the bus with OLHMS staff and students, we will try to accommodate all classroom requests. If interested in volunteering for service learning day, please fill out this form. We are looking forward to a great day!
Traffic and Buses: Thanks to our families who have continued to be respectful of our one way during arrival and dismissal. If you have a family member dropping off student(s) or adjusted your routine, please remind them of this one way pattern on Oak Center Dr.
- It is very helpful to pull all the way up on the circle to drop off students or allow them to walk the circle drive to the entrance. We have been experiencing some delays due to cars stopping at the entrance of the half circle.
- Our main entrance is for buses only. Parents should not be using the main entrance to drop students off in the morning(8:30am) or pick them up during dismissal(3:20pm).
Skyward Family Access: Make sure you are checking/ logging into Skyward Family Access routinely. This is a great place to obtain supportive information such as student's courses, bus routes, student fees/ debts.
Student Debts: Please make sure to review student debts via Family Access. There are multiple students who have accumulated debts purchasing items from the cafeteria and lost ID's.
Student IDs: Please remind our scholars that they should be maintaining and wearing their student ID daily. Students do receive charges for lost, missing or damaged ID's.
