Middle school students are enjoying the new swings during recess time. It is not unusual to see all eight swings in use at any given time!

REFERENDUM 2024: Like many other Wisconsin districts, the School District of Omro deals with increased student needs and reduced state funding. At the same time, significant investments are needed to address the major facilities challenges, including District-wide safety and security; aging infrastructure; overcrowding at H.B. Patch Elementary; and annual operations and maintenance costs. Today, many Wisconsin school districts are operating under an active referendum.
The proposed referendum plan was designed to address our major challenges.

Congratulations to OMS and OHS Fox Friday winners from September 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.
Students in Mrs. Hughes' grade 8 Science class were challenged to suspend one Dixie cup above their paper using 3 other cups and Popsicle sticks. Once they achieved that, they needed to add weights to the suspended cup and remove as many Popsicle sticks as possible. Edyn and Maranda were able to add 25 pennies to their cup using only 8 Popsicle sticks!

Full Steam Ahead! Students and families in grades 4K-8, mark your calendars now to join us Thursday, November 7, 2024 from 4:30-6:30 pm to experience activities related to Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics.
6th grade students in Mrs. Boeck's and Mrs. McKittrick's math class developed their communication skills through a series of challenges. One student from each team was tasked with analyzing how 10 blocks were arranged and then going back to their team and trying to describe how to arrange the 10 blocks. Each individual in class had an opportunity to be the person who analyzed a block structure and then described it to their team.
Following the activity, students identified communication strategies that supported the activity (hand gestures, word choice, non-verbal communication) that can apply to future activities in and outside of the classroom.
It was great to see the collaboration and communication in class!
