March 8 Daily Announcements

IMPORTANT information for Current 6th and 7th graders: Mrs. Cruce sent an email last week to each student’s school email account regarding course requests for the 2021-2022 school year. All current 6th and 7th graders must complete the Google Form found in the email with a parent to request courses for next year. Along with requesting courses, this form will also be used for students to declare whether they will be participating in traditional learning or Virtual Shelby for the upcoming school year. The form must be submitted by Friday, March 12th. 

Enrolling in Publix Partners is an easy way to support OMMS!

Yearbook sales closed at the end of January.  We purchased extra books for those who may have missed the deadline.  We will not be compiling a list, and purchases will be online only.  Please secure your book before they are sold out.  You may pay through the link below.  Yearbook Purchasing Link
