What many people don't see is the work that teachers put in to ensure that all children are growing in their learning. In this picture are all of the 8th grade core teachers collaborating on how to ensure students are growing in ELA. All of these teachers teach ELA intervention and care greatly about tracking the growth of all students. There is a lot of work that is done behind the scenes to ensure student success.

Good morning,


We are excited to get fall activities started and wanted to let you all know that we will continue to have our middle school student section in the south end zone this year.  Last year we averaged over 100 students per game and had a great time cheering on the Dutchmen.  At Friday night games students can sit in the student section or sit with a guardian.  We will open the gate at the south end of the track at 6:45 to allow students to enter the student section.  Since we are so close to the field during the game, students who are sitting in the student section must stay until halftime.  During halftime students will be able to visit the concession stand and restrooms.  Students that are leaving before the game is over need to leave with a guardian or parental consent to leave with someone else.  There will be no student section tonight at the Jamboree.  Next Friday, August 24th will be our first home game where we will have the student section available.  We hope to have a big crowd next week to cheer on the Dutchmen!

REMINDER: Middle School sport practices officially start up Monday, August 17th for 6th/7th/8th Boys and Girls Cross Country, 7th/8th Girls Basketball, and 7th/8th Football. In order to participate in practice, student athletes must have all of their forms filled out with an up to date physical in FinalForms. Physicals are good for 2 years, so if your student-athlete had a physical on file previously that has not yet expired then they are still good to go. For any questions, please call OHS at (573)-646-4005 and ask to speak to the Athletic Director's office. Or, for help with FinalForms, watch this step-by-step video in the following link:
