The 2025 8th Grade After Party is in the books. What a great crew to spend a Friday night with. Despite a bit of rain that cut out some of the activities, we never heard a complaint from anyone in the group. And during the relays when a some 8th grade groups are "too cool for school" and have to be begged to participate, these guys were locked in and fully involved! Just zoom in on the smiles and faces in these pictures. There is no doubt they were having fun. Only two and three more weeks of middle school for these guys!

Mrs. Barnes’ 2nd semester 8th graders in the Careers & Leadership Class participated in mock job interviews this past week. Students were asked several job related questions and presented the interviewer with their job application. Thank you to our community members who volunteered their time to help with the interviews.
Kudos to our OCMS Family Focused Team who put on a fantastic Family FunActive!

Congratulations to these awesome students who were selected by their teachers for the Patriot Pride luncheon for the month of April for being examples of well rounded students in & out of the classroom.
OCMS Parents,
Milestones testing begins next Wednesday! Please check your calendars now & be sure to have your student here on time each day-4/23 through 4/29-for 6th and 7th grade and through 5/1 for 8th grade.
Fixing any scheduling conflicts in order to avoid test interference or make-up testing is much appreciated.
Congratulations to the middle school who was recognized last Thursday with a visit from State School Superintendent Richard Woods to present the school with the Math Leader Award. This award was presented to the middle school for their outstanding results on the Enhanced Algebra: Concepts and Connections 2023-24 End of Course Test. The Enhanced Algebra course was implemented for the first time in 8th grade last year, and recommended students took the course with teacher, Sandy Cederbaum, for high school credit. The students who took the course last year, now 9th grade students, were allowed to return to the middle school to receive their award. Just as state championship athletic teams get a police escort, the math students also received a police escort to the middle school for their meeting with the state school superintendent, and this outstanding math achievement! 💙❤️

Earlier this week, several FCCLA members attended the State Leadership Conference in Columbus, GA where they participated in informational workshops, explored the college and career expo, and were involved in a variety of competitions. Congratulations to all of our competitors for the hard work and dedication they put in outside the classroom to prepare for these competitions.
Molly Graham earned 3rd place inn Creed Speaking.
And Ana Vu won first place in her state competition: Toys That Teach.
Again, we are proud of and want to congratulate these students for representing OCMS so well this week.
The lock-down drill at the middle school is now complete. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
OCMS is currently in a lock-down practice drill. All students and staff are safe–they are just taking the necessary steps to test our new safety system and procedures.
At this time, OCMS students can not check-in or check-out. We will notify parents as soon as the lock-down drill is over.
