Osborne Middle School recognizes that not all students learn in the same way or simultaneously. With this in mind, we will implement a comprehensive framework to fully operationalize a multi-tiered support system to address academic and non-academic student needs and remove barriers to success.  

1. MTSS team will facilitate "Kid Talks" every Wednesday, in order to collaborate with content team teachers to develop Tier 1+ interventions to best support each and every student.
2. The focus and theme of Professional Development will be to implement more frequent and effective formative assessments, and then utilize the data to support students in small groups based on strengths and weaknesses as measured by AKS standards.  We will have a kick-off "Engage" conference on July 28th, and then will continue to provide PD related to this theme on the remaining DLD days.
3. Hawk Time (CQI) will be reorganized so that every teacher will have a consistent core group of students each day for 30 minutes.  Teachers are tasked to support their Hawk students with interventions and facilitate the completion of missing assignments or test retakes.  Students will be grouped based on Fall iReady data, and strategies will be implemented to support students needs.
4. CLT's will incorporate "data talks" to identify areas of weakness based on summative assessment results.  Content teams will work together to integrate additional support for the identified weak standards into the instructional calendars, so that these areas of weakness are addressed prior to State and local assessments.
5. In addition to the academic focus, the MTSS team will also work with teachers to address behavioral needs of students.  Our behavior coach/ISS teacher will be present at "Kid Talks" and will be available to coach and observe students in the classroom setting.
6. Tier 2 & 3 intervention supports will be available through our Math & Reading Connections intervention program, both newly full-time this year.

Osborne Middle School will provide students with access to high-quality, rigorous coursework that includes activities designed to enrich the learning opportunities for each child while expanding student opportunities to engage in other non-academic enrichment activities.

1. We will continue our thorough and comprehensive process of screening and identifying gifted learners.  Dr. Parra continues to lead this effort, as increasingly more gifted students are identified and served throughout the year.
2. More students have qualified for accelerated math pathways, with approximately 60% of students enrolled.  Any students with mid-proficient or distinguished GMAS scores were encouraged and invited to enroll in ACC math. 
3. Increased expectations often requires increased supports.  Both Hawk Time and afterschool Study Hall will be utilized to support students needing additional help.  The MTSS team is partnering with MCHS to recruit student volunteers to help tutor afterschool for community service hours. 
4. Carnegie credit opportunities are expanding this year to include Biology, Spanish, Engineering and Marketing in our Connections classes.
5. A focused and systematic approach to assessment retakes will also be facilitated through Kid Talks, as students not mastering standards will be held accountable for reteaching and retakes.  We believe that a child does not have the authority to decide to fail.

Osborne Middle School has a tradition of excellence and high achievement.  Our goal is for OMS to serve as a model for middle school public education, and become a preferred educational destination for families choosing to move to Metro Atlanta and the Gwinnett County area.  In order to fulfill this goal, Osborne MS must be recognized not only as a school with annually consistent high achievement on State and local assessments, but also a place where students have a positive and productive experience while working with an engaged and effective faculty and staff.

1. Through rigorous course instruction and robust support systems, students will achieve at increasingly higher levels.
2. The expanded GCPS & OMS athletics program provides a renewed sense of school spirit, as well as a highly competitive multi-sport experience.  Our girls teams won both the basketball and soccer championships this past season.
3. In partnership with the OMS PTA, a series of events are planned throughout the year, providing positive experiences and an involved community.
4.  The OMS Fine Arts department will continue to be recognized as a model program throughout the district and State.  The Band, Chorus, Orchestra, Theater and most recently Dance programs enjoy participation from an ever increasing number of students, and is a critical component to the success of the school.
5. The OMS PBIS Team provides a robust student reward experience for illustrating positive behavior, and facilitates a quarterly reward event outside, including concessions, games & sports, and fun & fellowship.
