Parent-Teacher Conferences

OMS successfully completed its annual parent-teacher conferences. This was a wonderful opportunity for the parents to connect with their children's teachers. This spring conference gives parents a full picture of their child's progress and accomplishments in the '23-'24 school year.
 
It is our joy to see your children thrive and blossom each and every day at OMS and we hope you were able to receive confirmation of that from the teachers as well.
