OMES: APEX Fundraiser begins Monday. Apex works to support student leadership and includes a fitness event. The funds raised will go directly to support the new school's garden, virtual reality equipment, broadcast room, and outdoor classroom.
Early morning creativity in Mrs. Stevens' room! Brain Flakes can be flowers! 🐨❤️🌷 #koalascreate #movingforward
Any questions about the Old Mill Archery Team, should be emailed to the coach, Mary Ann Phillips. Archery is only for 4th and 5th graders at Old Mill. This is a national rule, and we cannot change it.

Our car rider lines are safer than they have been but are now slower. We continue to improve and will fix areas of need as we see them. Our PM process for lanes is being corrected tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding today as I made some errors with the cut points.

We have made lots of changes in the past week. It has been my mission to increase safety and efficiency. Safety is better and we are working on efficiency now.

OMES Bus 1950 is not operating this week. Due to the driver shortage we will not have a driver to run the route. We sincerely apologize for this extreme inconvenience. Any updates will be posted ASAP.
Yes! We have a Bookkeeper! You know Ms. Becky is all about Old Mill Spirit and she is taking that spirit a short trip down the hallway to the Bookkeeper's office. Starting Monday, we will accept Chromebook and Student/Instructional Fees at school. If you are paying by check, you have to separate the two types of fees. BUT, if you have multiple students, you do not have to send separate checks for each student. You can put all Chromebook fees on one check and all Student/Instructional fees on one check. #movingforward #koalascreate #bookkeeper
This picture sums up the first week of school nicely. It was busy, but everybody was happy to see their friends. The weather was beautiful. And, there was glitter. #movingforward #koalascreate #glitterchalk
Thank you Old Mill for a great first day!
The car rider line is a SINGLE line until you enter the oval area then it moves to a double line. Creating a double line too early blocks car rider line exits and buses.
Bus 2091 (Purple bus) will run tomorrow per Transportation dept.
Thank you for your patience as we begin this amazing school year!!!
School is off and running this morning at Old Mill! We have missed our students this summer and are so excited about all of our new friends!
Quick reminder that our purple bus (Bus 2091) is out this week and is self-transport. Thank you for your understanding and support!
We will begin collecting student and Chromebook fees on Monday, August 15. Please do not send fees to school until then.
Yes, Kindergarten parents CAN walk their students to class only on the first day.
The Old Mill Elementary SBDM Principal Selection Council is seeking student, staff, parent, and community input as we develop the final criteria we will use to select the next principal for OMES.
