6th Grade Orientation Details

By Anonymous -
6th Grade Orientation is right around the corner and we can’t wait to meet our new 6th grade students! On Wednesday, August 10th from 10:30-12:00 students will have a chance to join our staff in the multi-purpose room, (MPR) located at the west end of the school. During orientation, students will have an opportunity to meet their teachers, hear about Panther Pride, and find their way around. (6th Grade parents are invited to join our Counselors and Curriculum Technology Integrator in the Library for an overview in how OGMS partners with you to know our different communication venues and resources.) Your meeting is from 10:45 till-11:45 a.m.

To help make drop off and pick up run smoothly, we are asking parents to use two different entrances.  If your child’s last name is from A-K please go to the bus bay to park or drop off your child.  Teachers will be there to direct students to the MPR.  If your child’s last name starts with L-Z, please park or drop off at the front of the school.  Again, teachers will direct students to the MPR.  The map below provides an illustration of our campus and parking areas.  If there are no parking spaces in either lot, please park in the Catalina Foothills Church's lot on the corner of Orange Grove Road and Camino La Zorrela and cross the street at the crosswalk.

After the event at 12:00 please pick up your child in the same location you dropped him/her off. Thank you for helping us to make this a safe and fun experience.

I am excited for our new school year to begin.  It will be wonderful to have students back on campus.  A special welcome to our new sixth grade families from Manzanita, Sunrise Drive and other elementary schools!   The staff at Orange Grove Middle School extends a warm welcome to all new and returning families. Please contact us if we can do anything to support a smooth transition into the school year for your child. At Orange Grove Middle School, we receive students who have been prepared at the elementary level, and in turn, we prepare them to transition smoothly to the high school level.   This preparedness begins on day one as we begin to help students gain a sense of belonging and we help our young adolescents develop ownership for their learning.   Taking ownership for one’s learning is David Conley and his research team’s work.   Teachers and staff will model and express the importance of what it is to be persistent, self-aware, seek help and ...

Counselor's Corner

Counselor's Corner December Edition The theme of the month is “Kindness”, which blends well with the Holiday Season upon us.  In the hustle and bustle of all December brings, it’s important to step back, take a breath, and reflect on the season’s true meaning. Celebrating family traditions of kindness and giving, or starting new ones, is a great way to reconnect with your middle school child. Need some ideas? Here are a few: Volunteer at an animal shelter.  Donate towels or your time, both would be greatly appreciated. Also, consider sponsoring an adoption which will allow a cat or dog a better chance of finding a forever home. Visit a nursing home and spend time talking with the residents.   Volunteer at a homeless shelter preparing and serving meals. Go to the grocery store together to buy food for a charity. Donate money to your favorite charity. As always, your counselors are here to support you during this time of the year. Plea...
