June 2021
Thank You
Greetings Eagle Families,
As we rapidly approach the end of this unprecedented year, I wanted to take time to thank all of our OMS families for working so hard to create opportunities for our students to be successful. A traditional school year requires the collaboration of all stakeholders to ensure student success; this year the need for your collaboration, support, and effort was greater than ever before. Words cannot begin to describe how grateful I am for our entire OMS community.
Additionally, I want our students and staff to know how proud I am of them for all of their hard work throughout this school year. In a year filled with so many unknowns, their demonstration of grit, perseverance, and resilience is admirable. If our students’ and staffs’ responses to the adversity and challenges of this year is an indication of things to come, then the sky truly is the limit and we will soar to unknown heights.
While we wrap up this school year, plans are already underway for next year. Please continue to closely monitor your email throughout summer for important OMS Find Out First messages including details about Open House (tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, August 10th) and Back to School Night (tentatively scheduled for Thursday, August 12th). For our Eagle families that have students transitioning to high school, please be sure to look for summer Find Out First messages from OHS.
It has been a true pleasure to serve our amazing community this school year. I am so excited for next year and look forward to collaborating with you to make it a school year like no other! I hope you and your family have a wonderful, safe, and relaxing summer. Thank you again for all of your support, we have been and will continue to be #OMSBetterTogether!
Sincerely,
Danny Enck
Principal
