We wanted to take another moment to thank you so much for all of your support during this year. We are excited to kick of 2020 with these great learners and look forward to continuing our partnership. The end of the 2nd quarter is coming up on January 17th, whereafter standards grades, as well as letter grades for most classes will be entered.
If you need us to meet or just would like extra communication, please reach out.
Also, a reminder that OMS is cellphone free from bell to bell for students. If you need to get a hold of your learner, please go through the office so they can get the message to them.

We wrapped up our 5 Themes unit this week. Upon our return, we will start our Asia unit which begins with looking at the Middle East. Winter Break is a wonderful time to check IC and make up any work needed. Our class webpage under 'what we did today' has links to each day's assignments and notes, etc. It's a great resource for students and families.

Orchestra
On Friday Orchestra students have invited any OMS staff or students to help us jump into winter break with cheerful music! Orchestra students have prepared numerous tunes for the OMS community's listening enjoyment and have strengthened our sight reading skills while doing so! I am still accepting candy donations for this Friday. Thanks to all families who have sent in candy thus far.
Students should plan to take instruments and music home over break to get in some meaningful practice time. Ask your learner to play what they have been working on for you.
