OHMS Yearbook

Do you have school appropriate pictures that you took at a school activity that feature OHMS students and would be good in the yearbook? Upload them for consideration for the 2012 yearbook HERE.

OHMS has used thousands of dollars from this fund every year to pay for financially deserving students’ planners, ASB cards, musical instrument rentals, clothing, sports fees, and more. Formerly known as Saul Haas, this organization will match up to $700 of all donations made. Just visit www.invested.org and type “Oak Harbor Middle School” in the “Donation Dedication” field or visit Lisa Yoder in the ASB office.

OHSD Online News

Oak Harbor schools will no longer distribute materials on behalf of non-profit organizations that are trying to reach students and their parents. Instead, the district will provide those materials online for parents to view as they choose. This will save a tremendous amount of paper as well as staff time required to distribute the materials. It's estimated that schools distribute up to one half-million flyers and brochures each year for non-school events. Read the news HERE.

A Note From the Principal

Oak Harbor Middle School is the proud educational home to 600 sixth, seventh and eighth grade students, their families, teachers and support staff. Our school is a friendly place, where students, parents and community are welcome. A few of the highlights of OHMS include:

A responsible educational program that focuses on the basics of language arts, math, science, social studies and fitness/health.
An exploratory program which exposes students to a wide range of activities and pre-vocational classes.
A dynamic PTA that supports our academic program and sponsors parent educational opportunities.
Partnership with three Navy units: NIOC, FRC, & VAQ142.
Parent on-line grading information via the internet accessible program FAMILY ACCESS.
An active ASB organization which sponsors socials, assemblies, and leadership opportunities.
Interdisciplinary teaming which makes use of a block time schedule for students.
An award winning band program, including an after school jazz band.
A National Junior Honor Society chapter (the only chapter on Whidbey Island).
A focus on programs which create smooth transitions from elementary school and to high school.
Many athletic opportunities for students to explore.
A comprehensive counseling program that assists students and supports parents in the developmental needs of adolescents.
An excellent library program which links learning to life. Classroom instruction which integrates technology with a variety of media.

I encourage parents and community members to visit our school to experience the quality programs and observe first-hand the educational opportunities available to our students. I encourage you to call or email me at sevans@ohsd.net.
