This run was started 6 years ago by two high school students at Oak Mountain High School to honor their grandparents who were impacted by cancer. The race is still hosted by the Oak Mountain High School Student Government Association. Please sign up for the 5k or 1 Mile Fun Run today! Registration, information, and pictures can be found at www.oakmountaincolorrun.com
Please remember when your student is absent you have three (3) school days from the time that he returns to send in a written excuse. Please also remember to include your student’s full name, written legibly, in order for it to be correctly recorded to your student. If a student needs to be absent and it is known in advance, please turn in a pre-planned absence form 10 days prior to the absence for approval. To help facilitate getting absentee excuses in, we have added lock boxes on the 7th & 8th grade halls. These are secure boxes, close to the students’ core classes, making it easier than ever for the students to get their excuses turned in within the 3-day window. Please encourage your students to locate them and use them.

New for you!! There are brand new boxes for you to drop off your absentee excuses making it easier than ever for you to get your notes in on time. If you have a doctor’s note or a parent note explaining why you were absent, you can now drop it off in the new boxes on B, C, & D Halls. Look for the boxes with the bright green sign on the wall at the junction of B-hall and G-hall, C-Hall and G-Hall, and D-Hall and B-Hall (right across from Mrs. Kennedy’s room). Of course there is still a tray in the front office too. This should help you get your notes in on time. Try them out! Let us know what you think!
