OGMS PTO needs you! If you would like to serve with our PTO this year, please take a moment to fill out this form. You can nominate yourself or another (willing) parent of an OGMS student (virtual OR blended) for any officer position.

IT'S GAME DAY, RAM FANS! Don't forget, tonight's game has been selected as the Soncom Media Game of the Week. If you can't attend, be sure to tune in! The game will be streamed LIVE on www.facebook.com/SoncomMedia #psdrams
Virtual Students: Don't forget to shut down your Chromebooks at night and charge them! Remember, closing the lid does NOT count as shutting down; that just puts the Chromebook to sleep. Make sure you are clicking in the bottom right hand corner of your Chromebook screen, click Sign Out, and then click the Shut Down button. This lets your Chromebook update and it gives it a better rest than just putting it to sleep.
