Get Involved at OMS

School Site Council

All parents are welcome to attend these meetings. Elections for School Site Council members are done in the fall and periodically as needed. If you are interested in being on the School Site Council, please call the school office at (707) 994-6447 and let one of our school secretaries know.

The School Site Council serves as the school community representative body for determining the focus of the school’s academic instructional program and all related categorical resources. The Legislative intent for the formation of School Site Councils is that individuals who are most affected by the operation of the school should have a major role in the decisions regarding how a school functions. Education should be a joint effort of parents, teachers, administrators, and other school staff—those whose common goal is the success of all students.

School site councils are composed of two equal groups in number, one representing school staff, including the principal, and the other representing parents, students, and community members. Legal requirements of a school site council include the following:

Annually develop and approve the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)
Review and revise School Safety Plans
Develop site level parent involvement policy and advise the district on the district-level parent involvement policy
Review the school parent compact (Title I Schools)
Advise the district in the development of the Local Control Accountability Plan

Volunteers

Volunteers are welcome at our school. Our school office is more than happy to help get you signed up as a school volunteer or you can fill out the volunteer form to the right. In some cases, parents, guardians, etc. who come to the school on a regular basis to visit the classrooms or campuses will meet the qualifications for a volunteer and be asked to go through our formal process to become an official volunteer.

We look forward to you being on our campus and helping our students and staff.
