Additional Notes
8th Grade Parents - There is still space available to register your student for the 8th Grade Washington D.C. Trip. On Monday, September 17, we will have a parent meeting for families still interested in the DC trip from 6:00-6:25 p.m. (just before Open House). Please visit our OLMS Washington D.C. website for more information at this link. Remember, if your family qualifies for the Free and Reduced Lunch Program, OLMS is able to assist your family with a credit to your account. Worldstrides also provides financial assistance to students. Please email Rebecca Heitsch or Morrison Borders with questions or about financial assistance.
Just a reminder that our building opens for middle school students at 7:15 a.m. and closes at 2:42 p.m. As part of our district's policy, students not picked up by a parent or guardian before 3:15 p.m. will be taken to Tween Time and charged the appropriate fees.
Orchard Lake Middle School makes use of the HERO system for tracking minor violations of the the WBSD Attendance Policy and Code of Conduct. These infractions include: tardiness, electronics, unauthorized areas of school, hallway disruption, and dress code. If your student is in violation of one of these policies, you will receive an automatically generated email notification from HERO that explains the violation and consequences. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Stasi Mortimore at stasi.mortimore@wbsd.org
