Our students worked hard individually and collectively to complete science and engineering projects spanning topics such as water filtration, best cleaning products, equestrian studies, and building structures. Our Science teacher, Mrs. Johnson, invited multiple scientists from the area, including teachers from St. Augustine's High School, to judge our students' projects. The follow projects received first place and will move on to SARSEF: 7th grade Environment and Plants Electrolytes Crushing Cans 8th Grade Water Hardness Artificial Pancreas Fruit Oxidation Enlightened Equitation   Mrs. Utegaard recounts that the The Nutcracker and Christmas performance, in one day, were simply amazing! The children's anticipation and excitement of performing on stage was so wonderful to witness and participate in. Many thanks to all of the families who donated for and attended our Carols, |

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is around the corner? This is a great time of the year to reflect on the gifts that have been given to us this year.
We know that many families are looking forward to a few days off. Regardless of your Thanksgiving plans, I pray that you and your family remain safe and healthy. On Wednesday, I sent the recommendations for the holidays from the Pima County Health Department which are based on the fact that community spread is happening at large social gatherings. If you plan to participate in large gatherings over the Thanksgiving break, we are asking families to transition to online learning for the 2 weeks following Thanksgiving break in order to continue to keep our teachers, staff and students healthy. If your child will participate in online learning following the break, we are happy to provide you with a Chromebook. Please contact Mrs. Kane at lkane@omosschool.com if you need a Chromebook.
Our school community has remained healthy during the pandemic so far. There have been zero reported cases on the physical school campus! This is due to the combined efforts of our families and faculty. We continue to practice our mitigation strategies including social distancing, frequent hand-washing, and daily health checks. Please continue to help keep our community healthy by keeping children home when a child or household member is ill.
Additionally, masks are effective when they fit properly. Please ensure that your child's mask fits correctly meaning that the mask covers the nose and mouth and fits snugly around the face and chin. The mask should remain in place when your child speaks and moves. If the face mask is falling while your child speaks, it is too big. There is also evidence that the single layer masks are not very effective when tested relative to masks with 2 or more layers. The recommendation is that masks have a minimum of 2-layers. After the Thanksgiving break, students, faculty, and staff must wear a mask that is a minimum of 2 layers. Please ensure that your child is wearing a mask, whether gaiter or traditional mask, that has a minimum of 2 layers that fits properly
- I am thankful for the excellent work of our faculty. Our teachers have worked so hard this fall to deliver high-quality instruction to the students both online and in the classroom, and they have overcome the new challenge with grace.
- I am thankful for the staff who have worked behind the scenes in many instances to make sure that lunches are served, paperwork is completed, and the technology is running.
- I am thankful for our priests who have continued to celebrate the sacraments with our community.
- I am thankful for our students who allow us to fulfill our mission. Their laughter and smiles are always a gift too.
- I am thankful for our families who have partnered with us in the education of our children. Thank you for the prayers, the support, and the extra cleaning supplies!

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to determine whether a faculty member and/or student will need to quarantine following a trip. In order to help determine whether it may be necessary to quarantine, please answer the small questionnaire.
If you answer yes to any of the questions, please speak with an administrator to determine whether it is necessary to quarantine for 14 days upon returning from your trip.
If you answer no to all the questions, you are welcome to return to campus following your trip as long as you are free from all symptoms related to COVID-19.
The COVID-19 situation is constantly evolving, if the number of cases in an area changes during your stay, please re-evaluate your need to quarantine.
If follow-up is needed, please contact Mrs. Vu and/or Mrs. Kane.
