Class of 2018 High School Registration Calendar
Fitnessgram Reports Students enrolled in Physical Education this semester recently completed the Fall Health Fitness Assessment (Fitnessgram). The results from the assessment will accompany your child’s interim report on Mon 12/9/13. Please review the scores with your child and use the attached “Get Fit Exercises” to help your child either maintain or improve their fitness levels. Fitnessgram will be repeated in the Spring, which will allow students to assess their improvements. We hope
that reading the scores and comments will give you and your child healthful information. For more information, please visit the OMMS Physical Education website at http://ommspe.weebly.com/. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Hlavka or Ms. Procida at 410-313-6937, or by email at Timothy_Hlavka@hcpss.org or Davia_Procida@hcpss.org. Have an active and healthy school year!

Marker Published in Ohio Journal of Mathematics Mon 11/5/12 – Congratulations to 8th grade math teacher Jennifer Marker for being published in the Fall 2012 edition of Ohio Journal of Mathematics. Her article "Taxicab Travel: Mathematically Touring Baltimore" explores how to engage students in critical thinking through a
virtual field trip. From the mathematics classroom, students problem solve using the surface area of three-dimensional shapes, non-Euclidean geometry, probability, and Euclidean constructions. By the end of these activities, students have applied their mathematics understanding to mummies, travel, code breaking, and treasure hunting.
