Welcome to our community school
Hi! My name is Michele Hackshaw, and I want to introduce myself to you. I work as the Community School facilitator for Owings Mills Elementary. As part of my role, I am responsible for identifying the school community's needs, conducting asset mapping, and creating strategies to find resources that meet those needs.
Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Arrival
Arrival time for students is 8:45 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Students arriving after 9:00 a.m. are marked late. If you arrive after 9:00 a.m., you will need to park on the side of the building and walk your student inside to sign them in. Please do not park in the bus loop.
Dismissal
To support a safe and orderly dismissal, there are no early dismissals or changes to student dismissal after 3:00 p.m. When your child does have a change to their regular dismissal schedule, it should be communicated to the office as early in the school day as possible. Please do your best to limit changes.

All students at OMES are assigned a bus. If your student does not ride the bus, please consider having him or her become a bus rider.
