SY 2019 – 2020 Material Collection

Attention rising 7th and 8th grade families and students who attended Oakland Mills Middle School last year:  Please read the information below regarding dropping off materials your child still has at home from the 2019-2020 school year. Before we can issue Chromebooks, instruments and other materials for this upcoming school year, we need to collect all items students are holding from 2019-20.  

Does your child have items from last school year that need to be returned?  Most students have novels from their ELA class, some have media center books, and others have instruments and other items. Please encourage your child to gather those items as it’s time to return them!  These items need to be collected next week to give us time to prepare for the distribution of new materials for the 2020-21 school year.

Below is our drop-off schedule and detailed procedures for returning materials. Further, during the drop-off process, it is critical that students and families maintain all social distancing practices, wear masks and remain in your cars.
