OMS Mission

Learning for ourselves, each other, and the world.

Vision of an OMS graduate 

 OMS Citizens show respect, responsibility, and empathy when they:

• ask meaningful questions
• think independently and work collaboratively
• analyze information and communicate effectively
• address challenges creatively
• take ownership of how their actions affect themselves and the world
• advocate for equity and social justice
• serve their community

 
2020-2021 OMS Theory of Action

 When all staff use collaboration and flexibility to

• Disrupt inequities through reflecting on beliefs/assumptions, analyzing inequitable systemic practices, and implementing anti-racist and anti-biased strategies to make curriculum and instruction culturally responsive
• Partner with students to develop meaningful relationships and a positive learning community
• Create essential standards-based and social-emotional learning targets that foster student-driven growth
• Design relevant, challenging, and active learning experiences that promote student choice and agency in creating, reading, writing, critical thinking, and reflecting
• Use formative assessment; timely, specific, and actionable feedback; and goal setting to drive instruction and move learning forward
• Maintain clear, concise, consistent communication with instruction, routines, and procedures

Then all OMS students will be engaged and grow as learners.
