PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Dear OMS Parents and Students:
Welcome to a new school year! This is always an exciting time for students and staff. Our focus will be on providing each child with new challenges that will result in a rewarding school experience. Academic emphasis on the core content areas of reading, language arts, science, social studies, and math will remain a priority as well as providing a learning program that builds on each year to reach local and state standards. Instruction in the fine arts, career arts, technology,
and physical education complete our program providing each student with the opportunity to develop areas of interest and skill.
As we begin this year, please remember that this is your school and we welcome your involvement. To increase communication between home and school, we are asking all students to utilize their Ottawa Middle School planner. The
planner is good for the entire school year and serves as a link between home and school. Additional communication networks are via the school website: www.omswhirlwinds.com, school reach: a phone messaging system, emails and phone calls from staff.
I encourage you to join us at school activities establishing strong foundations and being positive role models for your children. We offer opportunities to volunteer within the PTO in helping at dances, fun nights, planning meetings, tshirt
sales, concessions and many, many, other ways.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. I look forward to working with you and your child throughout the school year to provide a productive and safe learning environment that supports student success.
Sincerely,
Carmen Schaefer, Principal
