HOW MUCH HOMEWORK WILL BE ASSIGNED?
Assignments are most often completed during our Geography class periods. If a student is absent or is not able to complete the assignments during class time, the student is expected to complete them at home or at the public library. At times, homework will be assigned to study for tests or for other important reasons.
We expect students to have their parent sign their planner nightly. Parents are encouraged to look to see if a teacher wrote in the planner, when upcoming events and tests are scheduled, require their child to write in every box every day. If there is no HW scheduled, require them to write "No HW". If a parent writes in the planner to a staff member, it is the student's responsibility to show the note to the teacher. If there is not a signature and/or comment written by the note, you can assume the student did not ahow it to the teacher.

WHY SHOULD WE MEET EXPECTATIONS?
Nice & polite OMS people value education. We’ll have more fun, probably get better grades, receive special awards, receive special privileges, make our classroom a nicer place, & learn about the world in which we live. OMS has a behavioral
system for consequences and is posted.
We try to work out any issues in class.
