Counseling Support for Students and Families
Meal Support for our Community OPS is expanding meal opportunities for students throughout our community. Beginning May 18, packages of five breakfasts and five lunches will be available for students at 25 different locations. Each site will distribute meals once a week, but different locations will be open Monday-Thursday.
Monday sites (open at 11 A.M.)
With a focus on health and safety, families will drive through to pick up food. One breakfast and one lunch package of meals will be available per student/child in the vehicle. If you are unable to bring children in the vehicle, please bring a student ID, report card or other verification for each student.
We hope to continue this service depending on the health conditions and guidance in our community. If additional dates will be available, we will communicate those weekly.
Food Bank for the Heartland hosts drive-through food distributions across the community. Several pantry partners also provide food for community members.
Dear Marrs Families,
Thank you for your support during such a uniquely challenging time. Your partnership in student learning is more important than ever.
This email is to communicate the process for the return of items for students who will not be returning to Omaha Public Schools in the fall.
Technology and Equipment Return
To limit traffic and prioritize health and safety, we ask only students who will not return to the Omaha Public School district in the fall to return items checked out from school. These items include:
If your student has items from school (I-Pads, books, instruments, etc.) and they will return to the district this fall, we will coordinate the return of materials in the fall.
For the Health and Safety of All
Our Schedule for dropping off items is:
Please contact us by email with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Angelique Gunderson, principal

Counseling Supports for Students and Families There are social-emotional supports available for your student and family during this time. School counselors, psychologists and social workers continue to be accessible by email with questions or concerns. Omaha Public Schools also partners with the Boys Town National Hotline to offer 24/7 access to trained counselors by phone. That number is 531-299-SAFE (7233). Please reach out if you or a loved one is struggling.
We will keep in touch with updates as we receive them. We are committed to keeping you informed.
Please continue to look out for one another. We are here for you.
Important Update The COVID-19 Pandemic is for real and we need to adjust our lives around it until we all feel safe to return to school. This will challenge us all as we try to do the best we can to continue to communicate and provide learning experiences for all of our students without meeting face to face. The teachers have already started to reach out to students with learning activities. Please remember that these tasks are not graded and are designed to keep students engaged in meaningful learning. Our staff will be working from home and have been informed to check their emails daily. Feel free to email each individual teacher with any questions regarding any of the tasks or assignments that are provided. Teacher emails are on this website. We all need to be united in our efforts and work as a team as this form of online teaching and learning is new to everyone! Daily Routines are Important We do not know how long this closure will go on so it will be important to begin to set up a daily routine for learning. This will help you relieve any stress you have about what is going on in regards to COVID-19 and provide a sense of purpose in each day. We are on a 4-block school day with 90-minute class periods. We realize there may be things going on at home that need to be taken care of and we do not expect students to be fully engaged for 8 hours of the day however, it is a good idea to create some kind of schedule to use to set up some daily routines for learning.
Food Bank for the Heartland Resources We know food insecurity is a community-wide need during this unprecedented time. We are grateful for Food Bank for the Heartland’s partnership to support community members in need. We have attached a list of upcoming drive-up distributions.
