OMMS School Supplies Tip:
The school provides a supply list but advises parents not to buy everything on the list. Instead, the PTSA says this: "Keep it simple when buying school supplies. Students need a three-ring binder, pencils and pens, and loose leaf paper to start the year. Backpacks are kept in lockers all day, so a zippered binder can be really helpful. Some kids also like having a morning binder and an afternoon binder." Throughout the school year, teachers may ask students to bring other supplies according to the needs of the class.
