Our theme this year is "It Takes a Village"
Well, our village showed up and showed out and helped us PASS the bond restructure! We are beyond thankful to everyone who voted FOR the Rams! Let's continue to work together towards achieving our goals and driving the Paragould School District to new heights. Our village is strong! Great things are happening and even greater things are to come.
Good afternoon OGMS Family!! Tomorrow we take the writing portion of the ATLAS test. Please make sure your students get plenty of rest tonight, eat something tomorrow morning, and come to school encouraged. Thank you for helping us do our best on the test!

Have we told you lately how much we love our math classes? Our 6th grade math students spent some time outside on Friday of last week taking measurements of real-world objects and calculating the area of those objects.
Practical use + outside time = a WIN!

The Paragould Police Department is investigating a threatening note found on the Junior High School Campus. They have determined where the note originated and have arrested the student that wrote the note. The District encourages parents to speak with their children about the seriousness and potential consequences of making threats, even as a joke. All threats are taken seriously and investigated, and any students caught making threats may face possible criminal charges and expulsion from school. Student safety will always be paramount within the Paragould School District.
