Principals’ Message

Dear OMS Community, 

We hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable Spring Break!  We are racing towards the finish for this school year.  Yet, there is still a lot to do!  It is important for our students to keep their focus and work hard for the remainder of the school year.  Please note that we have many important events coming up that are listed below under Important Dates.  These events include our state testing dates, music events, class trips and end of year activities.  If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.  We wish our 8th graders the best of luck at the high school and look forward to seeing our middle school students and parents at our 24-25 Open House on August 14 from 6-7:30 pm.
 
Go Riders!

PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy of Orrville Middle School centers on the belief that all students have the capacity to learn, grow and develop into knowledgeable and caring citizens of the Orrville community. Our students will be engaged in learning that is relevant, challenging and exploratory. It is our goal that our students develop socially, emotionally, and academically in a trusting and respectful environment in which family and community are actively involved. In order to achieve these goals it is necessary for the school and family to work closely with each other so that the child is successful at school. During the middle school years, our students may face many important life choices and needs the support of both home and school to make wise, healthy decisions.
 
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Orrville City School District, in partnership with the parents and the community, is to inspire all students to become successful and lifelong learners and to be prepared to responsibly contribute to our community and society.

SCHOOL RULES
All middle school students follow three basic school rules. These rules are followed in every location of the buildings. The students pride themselves on following the three R’s.

  • Respect yourself!
  • Respect others!
  • Respect property!

Go Riders!
