As we get ready for the start of the 2024-2025 school year, the O'Donnell Middle School will be holding orientations for incoming 6th grade students, as well as for students entering 7th and 8th grade who did not attend the OMS last school year. The 6th grade orientation will take place Tuesday, August 20, 2024 and the orientation for new 7th and 8th grade students will take place Thursday, August 22, 2024. More information about both events can be found below:
Grade 6 Orientation - Tuesday, August 20
There will be an orientation for incoming 6th grade students on Tuesday, August 20, 2024 at the O'Donnell Middle School (211 Cushing St.). The Grade 6 Orientation will be held by team so students should arrive at OMS for their assigned team's time. Parents/guardians will receive an email with their child's assigned team on Monday, August 19th.
Team 6A - 9:00 - 9:45am
Team 6B - 10:00 - 10:45am
Team 6C - 11:00 - 11:45am
On August 20th, parents/guardians should drop students off at the start of their team's assigned orientation time. Students entering 6th grade will participate in a scavenger hunt to become familiar with the building and receive a hard copy of their schedule (schedules are also available to view on Powerschool). Students will have the opportunity to meet other students on their team, meet members of the OMS staff, and ask questions.
The Grade 6 Orientation is optional, but recommended for students as it can help prepare them for the start of middle school. If your student is not able to come in for orientation, they can receive the hard copy of their schedule on the first day of school. If your Grade 6 student cannot make the Orientation on the 20th and would like to come into the building before the first day of school, please contact the OMS office to schedule a time for your student to come into the building, receive their schedule, and take a tour.
Grades 7 & 8 New Student Orientation
There will be an orientation for incoming new students in Grades 7 & 8 on Thursday, August 22, 2024 at the O'Donnell Middle School (211 Cushing St.).
Grade 7 - 9:00 - 9:45am
Grade 8 - 10:00 - 10:45am
New students will learn about the O'Donnell Middle School and our school community. Students will participate in a scavenger hunt to become familiar with the building and receive a hard copy of their schedule (schedules are also available to view on Powerschool). Students will have the opportunity to meet other new students in their grade level, members of the OMS staff, and ask questions.
