Week of 10/13/2025
Good afternoon, Osceola Middle School Families. This is your principal Derrik Craun calling to provide a few updates for the week ahead.
Just a reminder there is no school for students on Monday. We return Tuesday which marks the first day of quarter 2 and is a rather quiet week in terms of events. All 8th graders will take the PSAT on Thursday October 16th which is important to do their best for high school course placement among other benefits. Student testing room locations will be shared with students this week. The OMS Band will hold a Chick-fill-A Spirit night Wednesday between 6:30 and 10pm where a portion of your order will go to our program using code OMSB25.
In Athletics, our cheerleading tryouts continue throughout the week after school until 5:45pm. Girls basketball team rosters will be posted Tuesday and those who made the team will start practice before school Wednesday at 8am. As for the boys basketball tryouts, further directions will be provided on Tuesday during morning announcements.
On October 24th we will host our OMS Fall Festival where we will have food, games with prizes, community vendors, Book Fair, haunted house, and more. If you would like to donate any items for the event such as decorations or candy, you can do so by dropping off in our carline of front office this week.
Last, our PBIS focus this week is on being Responsible, and our Fun Friday Tee Day is to wear Yellow and Blue for Down Syndrome Awareness.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thank you for your support,
Derrik Craun
Principal of Osceola Middle School
