Congratulations to OMS and OHS Fox Friday winners from December 20, 2024! These students were nominated by staff members or other students for demonstrating the Fox Four (Safety, Responsibility, Respect, or Positivity).
Staff members were nominated by students or other staff members for being a role model, an advocate for students, or having a positive connection with students.
The District is one of 23 districts in the State who have received approval to award the Seal of Biliteracy.
The Seal of Biliteracy is an award given to high school seniors who have demonstrated proficiency in two or more languages, aiming to encourage language learning and highlight the value of multilingual skills for future education and employment opportunities. This is also an Industry Recognized Credential (IRC) included on most Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways.
For the 2024-2025 school year, we would like to introduce/share about as many staff members as possible, as everyone has an integral role in our school community.
Staff were asked to share about themselves using a "6 word summary." Read on to learn a bit more about some of our sixth and seventh grade staff!
In Omro, 4K is a family affair! 💕
We believe learning starts with a strong partnership between school and home. That’s why our 4K program is packed with opportunities for families to get involved—think field trips, exciting family projects, and fun-filled Family Nights! 🎉
We know that family is the biggest influence in a child’s life, that’s why our mission is to create an experience where kids grow academically, socially, and emotionally, all through partnership! You’ll never have to worry about missing those big milestones, you’ll be with us every step of the way.
Do you have a little one as part of our current 4K? We’d love to hear your favorite part about it – drop it down below! 💬⬇️

National Have Fun at Work Day!
While our staff always has fun at work, today was filled with two extra splashes of fun for middle and high school staff.
~ Fox In A Pocket ~ A total of 8 fox heads were laminated and given to staff (3 middle school, 5 high school). Those staff members placed them in their pocket. Throughout the day, staff will be asking other staff if they have a fox in their pocket; if they do, it must be handed over. Any staff with a fox in their pocket at the end of the day can exchange it for a prize.
~ Find A Fox ~ There are mini fox figurines hidden throughout the building (12 for middle school, 20 for high school). When a figurine is found, staff can exchange it for a prize.
Special thanks goes to the organizers of this fun activity! This is one of many strategies that support a positive culture.
