The end of the quarter is near as it ends today, this Friday. Report cards will be available after November 8th.
Wondering which assignments your learner has, take a look at our homework blog.
Conferences will be held on November 12th and 14th from 4 PM to 8 PM at OMS. You do not sign up but instead, show up on your chosen night and then wait for the teacher to be available to see you for 5 minutes. If you need more time or if those nights do not work for you, please reach out to your learner’s teachers in order to make other arrangements. We would love to meet with you to discuss the first quarter and set goals for the next one.
We could use your help with our on-going fundraiser. We collect Boxtops for Education but it looks a little different this year. Please take a look at this overview that explains the two ways to help us earn money to be used for additional curricular items, scholarships and prizes. We are grateful for your help and support!
