WELCOME TO ORRVILLE MIDDLE SCHOOL
“Rider Strong”

Respect, Prepare, Perform, Persist

Dear OMS Community, 

We would like to thank all of our students, staff, parents and community for a great start to the 2024-2025 school year! We are excited to have the kids back at school and we look forward to providing a safe learning experience, with academic growth and memorable moments. If we can be of any assistance to you, please feel free to let us know.

We met with each grade level and went over expectations for the year. We challenged our students to work hard, use their time well and treat each other with respect. We discussed the value of having “Grit” which is continuing to work through things even when it gets hard and you want to quit.

Again, we are excited to be back at school and if you need anything, please feel free to contact us at school.

Go Riders!
Dave Sovacool, Principal
Sly Slaughter, Asst. Principal

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!
