OLHMS Weekly 12/13/22
Mustang Families,
We have been having enjoying all of the participation with the calendar/ picture below! We tried to add a tad more excitement and some additional fun to the month of December before heading away for Winter Break!
Congratulations to our Boy's Volleyball and Girl's Basketball scholar-athletes for competing in the SWIC conference tournaments! Thank you to our OLHMS athletics department and staff for hosting this year's volleyball tournament! Well done Mustangs!
D123 Hiring: Did you know our incredible district is looking for great professionals to be hired? Check out our job opportunities with this LINK.
Feed Six Update: We will be postponing our annual event until the Spring in the hopes of expanding and creating a mega event! More details should be out in February.
OLHMS Career Fair: We are looking for as many different career pathways and trades as we can represent as we begin planning a Career Fair here at OLHMS in the Spring. We are hoping to include our OLHMS families and community members. Looking forward to hearing from you and thank in advance for your support!
So, do you love your job? Love to share your expertise with others? Love presenting and talking to young adults? If you answered YES, to all three, please reach out about presenting in our OLHMS Career Fair. Please contact our 8th grade counselor, Mrs. Vanessa Follmar, at VFollmar@d123.org.
Oak Lawn Community High School: We are very appreciative of OLCHS musicians for their inspirational display last week for our 8th graders in getting them more excited for their high school experience! OLCHS would also like our families to know about the Kids Cheer Camp! Here is the LINK with the information.
Cell Phones/ Social Media: Please remind our scholars that cel phones should be turned off and locked in their lockers daily. Also, critically important is monitoring the use of our scholars device. We are inundated with social media concerns taking place outside of school or on the weekends! Please remain vigilant with what is happening on social media- Tiktok, Snapchat and Instagram are consuming our scholars!
Chewing Gum: We have been finding too much chewing gum in places it should NOT be, please remind scholars that they should not have gum at school and it should be disposed of properly and respectfully.
NJHS: There will be an informational meeting for interested scholars on December 21st! Mark your calendars! Here is the informational LINK.
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.
