Student Conferences
This week, parents and guardians are invited to meet with their child's teacher. This is a great opportunity to understand and collaborate on ways to help your child be his/her best. Read this brief article on how to make the most of a Parent/Teacher conference.
Drop Off and Pick Up Reminders
AM Car Line: Cars should NOT line up before 7:50 AM. Our OES cars hinder the OMS car line. We will be closing the back gate in between OMS and OES arrivals. Please see link for more information.
PM Car Line: Cars should NOT line up before 3:15.
Please do not honk at car line- this encourages students to run out before all traffic has stopped.
Please stay in your vehicle for the safety of everyone.
Remind your students to stay behind the yellow lines for arrival and pick up. This ensures that they are a safe distance from the vehicles.
Day Care Vans- If your child takes a daycare van in the afternoon, parents need to communicate absences or changes in dismissal with the daycare as well as the school.
A Note from Mrs. Gamboa...
Please carefully read the letter in Friday Flyers, regarding AR Fun Day. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Gamboa or your child's teacher.

Fortify App
The app, which is available for download on Apple and Android mobile devices, is critical to ensuring all Florida schools are safe environments where students and educators can experience and share the joy of learning without fear. FortifyFL is a suspicious activity reporting tool that allows you to instantly relay information to appropriate law enforcement agencies and school officials.
The Florida Legislature directed this tool’s development in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act. For more information visit: https://getfortifyfl.com/
