Attendance

If your child is going to be late or absent from school please report the absence by calling the attendance line prior to 8:20 a.m., whenever possible. The OMS Attendance Line is available 24 hours a day. If a child is absent and not called-in by the end of 2nd period (10:06 a.m.), the OMS Office will attempt to verify the absence by contacting a student’s parent/guardian and/or emergency contacts if a parent/guardian cannot be reached.

Phone: 608-835-4000

  • Dial 1 to access main attendance line
  • Select OMS by dialing 5
  • Select grade by dialing - “1” for 7th grade students OR “2” for 8th grade students
  • Leave message and then hang up

When calling the Attendance Line, state your child’s first and last name, date of absence, and reason for absence such as illness or doctor’s appointment. Include your name and where you can be reached should we need to contact you.  The Office will inform your student's teachers of the absence.

OMS Pre-Absence Form

Absence Due to Doctor/Dentist Appointments

Learners who need to leave school to go to a medical/ dental appointment should bring a note from a parent/guardian to the Office prior to the start of school on the day of the absence. This information can also be left on the Attendance Line. Although there are times when advance notice of an appointment is not possible, calling the office shortly before an appointment to request a child be released from class is not ideal.

Learners will be issued a "Permit to Leave the Building" pass.  Upon returning, students must check-in at the office and will be issued a pass to return to class. If medical documentation is presented to the office, the absence may be coded as an excused absence due to medical reasons.

End of Day Student Messages

If you need to reach your student during the school day, please contact the office with student messages no later than 3:00 p.m. We cannot guarantee messages received after 3:00 p.m. will reach your student by the end of day.
