Green School
In our quest to become a green school, we are asking not only our students, but our parents to help as well. Please consider sending containers for a no-waste lunch, remined your student to use the compost bin here at school, and have your student participate in our home to school recycling program. Our Paper Retriever Bin in located on our front parking lot for your papers as well. This will be a behavior change for everyone evolved and we hope the changes will be at both home and school. Thank you for your support with the worthy project. Lets take care of our Earth together.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a CCPS system initiative to allow students to bring their own electronic devices for educational purposes. At ORMS, students may bring their own devices, but the usage of devices is limited to classrooms only, at the individual teachers’ discretion. This means devices may not be used for non-instructional purposes at any time, including in the hallways, cafeteria or any other non-classroom area. Devices MUST be out of sight and silent when not in use.
Make sure your device is fully charged before coming to school. Disciplinary action, as outlined in the Carroll County Public Schools Student Handbook, shall be taken when a student fails to follow the directions of a staff member regarding portable electronic devices or if reasonable belief exists that the student has violated the terms of the Acceptable Use Procedures and Guidelines or other school policy.
Devices may be used on buses, at the bus drivers’ discretion.
Carroll County Public Schools assumes no responsibility for the loss, damage, theft, or charging of personally owned portable electronic devices and/or related accessories brought to school or on the school buses. Students bring these devices to Carroll County Public Schools at their own risk.

Fidgets & Spinners
Fidgets and Spinners are considered toys, are prohibited in all areas of the building from entry through dismissal, and will be confiscated for parent pick up. While some students may require an item to maintain focus; our counselors, administrators or Special Education staff will work with those students to identify appropriate items that do not create noise or distractions to others.
Food & Drinks in School
Food and Drinks may not be consumed in the hallways. Water in a clear plastic bottle may be carried and consumed throughout the school day, including classrooms, without a doctor’s note. Bottles that are not clear are not permitted. Glass bottles are never permitted, not even in lunch bags. Students may bring “fast-food” type food or drink to breakfast, but the items must be consumed and discarded in the cafeteria. Food items and non-conforming containers observed outside of the cafeteria will be confiscated and possibly discarded.
