Check it out! 18 OGMS students and staff members took the plunge last Saturday - the Polar Plunge that is! While that is awesome, the best part is the school raised over $2,100 to donate to the Special Olympics. Great job, OGMS!

We are still reading the Tale of Despereaux! Here is our reading schedule for this week. (If you're ahead, that's okay! Take this time to talk about what's happened so far....How do you feel about Despereaux's family? Do you think Roscuro is going to be true to his rat self, or will he try to be kind? What do you think of the king?)
Virtual students: if you still haven't picked up your book, we have one for you in the front office! Come and get it - you can catch up quickly! :) #onlytheBESTatOGMS
Paragould School District will be open for school today, Thursday, 1/20/22.
Here's our reading schedule for this week! We hope you are enjoying Despereaux's adventures as a family.
As promised, here is the link for the Press Conference with Coach David Gunn. Tune in TODAY (1/14) at 10:30am to watch it live. You won't want to miss it!

PDF copies of the OGMS 5th and 6th grade AMI Days packets have been uploaded to our website. To access these files and print them, please go to https://www.paragould.k12.ar.us/o/ogms
From there, click on Menu < Documents < AMI Day Packets. Once you click on the file, it should open in a window that will allow you to print from a desktop or laptop. If using a phone or tablet with no way to print, your child can complete the work on a separate sheet of paper.
These packets are also available on Google Classroom for your child; they can log on and find them there.
You can also email (or have your child email) your child's homeroom teacher, Mr. Dial (jdial@paragouldschools.net), or Mrs. Cook (kcook@paragouldschools.net) to get a copy of the AMI packets.
Questions? Please feel free to contact our office at 870-240-2241.
Stay safe and warm!
Have you ordered your yearbook yet? Now is the time! Go to jostens.com to set up an account and order!
As winter is upon us so is the potential threat of wintry weather and possible school closures. The letter below is from our superintendent, Dr. Jankoviak, and outlines the AMI process that PSD will utilize this year in case of school closures. Packets will come home tomorrow (Wednesday 1/5/22). Please keep these in a safe place until they are needed.
Our character ornament tree is full of fabulous ornaments! Very soon, we will begin uploading images of each of the character ornaments for 5th grade, 6th grade, and our big kids (AKA our staff). Keep an eye out on our Facebook page. Remember, for the votes to count, you have to visit the original post on Facebook and like the photo from there.
We are so excited to share our student and staff creations!
We are SO EXCITED about next week's dress up days and activities! Check out our dress up schedule, and feel free to send in your early morning "before they get to school" dress up day photos! You can email them to kcook@paragouldschools.net or spoindexter@paragouldschools.net
