ADDITIONAL REMINDERS:
Dear Parents, In a effort to be more consistent, school wide, in enforcing the dress code fairly for all students at OMS, on November 30 we will begin school wide dress code checks done at random times during each week. All students who are found to be out of dress code will be referred to an administrator at that time. If it is the student's first violation they will receive an official warning and be given a chance to correct the situation. All repeat offences will receive consequences according to the student code of conduct. Please discuss with your student the importance of following the dress code policy. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
