For this 2023-2024 school year, we are focused on expanding the academic success of all of our students while giving them opportunities to engage in high interest programs and activities. All of this to help your student develop into the young men and women of limitless potential that you and we know they can be.
We are gearing up with great anticipation to welcome our JMS students next week! We want to take some time to say thank you to all of our parents and families for your continued support of ORS mission and JMS Eagles. Next week's newsletter will feature an introduction to our new Dean of Students and our new teachers, as our team has grown.
Although, in some ways, this is the "final countdown" for 2022-23 school year, it is also a mark of new beginnings! We are confident that our JMS students have been challenged, grown in so many ways, experienced new adventures, and will be impacted for the good as they begin the summer journey and beyond
We hope that all of our families and students are enjoying the weather and end of school year as we continue to be quite busy on campus. Every classroom is still saturated with energy and learning opportunities all across the building.
We hope that all of our families and students are enjoying the weather and end of school year as we continue to be quite busy on campus. Every classroom is still saturated with energy and learning opportunities all across the building. Students are creating illustrated Geography books for elementary children, novel study podcasts, theatrical book trailers, game boards, large colored maps, and so much more. Our JMS Eagles are still immersed in innovation, analysis, problem-solving, and product development.
A Reminder about the Remainder! Again, students do not leave until June 1st, and we have so much learning still yet to do! Many teachers are taking the month of May to expand their lessons to project-based learnings or to get students prepared for the next grade level. Still others are using this time to expand their teaching with some cross curricular work with other teachers. The JMS teachers will not be slowing down after testing!

MATH and SCIENCE TCAPS: As we anticipate another week of testing, we are asking once again that students be present with devices fully charged. Students should be rested and nourished each morning, as we know that tests demand critical thinking and alertness.
Please remind your child to have his or her device daily, charged and ready. Be sure to check out our Counselor's Corner too, where Ms. Price and Mr. Sudderth have provided some test taking strategies.
