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!

On Friday the Thirteenth, many Omro Middle School students experienced some extra luck. During first hour, every student received a ticket with a six digit number. Throughout the course of the day, numbers were called over the loudspeaker (and emailed to all students) and those with matching numbers were invited to visit the middle school lunch room to select a prize. Special thanks to the OMS Student Engagement team for organizing this event!

Biology students start the year learning about their own brains. The brain is more likely to remember something if it elicits emotions, includes physical movement/sensations, and involves peer interactions. Students had fun with this memorable activity in which they use their own hand and arm to model a neuron (brain cell).

OUR KIDS. OUR COMMUNITY. OUR FUTURE. REFERENDUM 2024: After wrapping up 2020 referendum projects, the District began working on the next 10-Year Facilities Maintenance Plan. In 2023, the District conducted a Facility Study including an Existing Conditions Assessment and Educational Space/Capacity Analysis to determine the safety, accessibility, and conditions of our buildings and sites as well as the functional use of our spaces. Portions of our buildings, including the building systems, equipment, furniture, and finishes within them, are original to the 1955 - 1999 construction and have exceeded life expectancy, requiring costly repairs that exceed our annual operating budget. Even our newest building, OES, is 25 years old and beginning to have normal maintenance issues due to age. Though our staff does a phenomenal job maintaining our buildings, the costs associated with major building system improvements are extremely high. Much like a home, when the cost to repair exceeds the budget, borrowing funds for larger-scale improvements is necessary, and doing more at one time can save money.
