Ocean Springs Middle School Home of the Greyhounds

It is the mission of OSSD to ensure that we make a commitment to see that all students have the opportunities and resources to engage in meaningful reading and learning over the summer. We are committed to make reading a habit. We all know preventing summer learning loss is important to classroom success in the fall, but it does take some diligence and planning. Therefore, we are encouraging and challenging all students to read as many books as possible this summer, fiction as well as nonfiction (informational). Students in grades 2nd - 12th grade will be responsible for keeping a log of what they read as well as completing a question guide for each book they have read. The reading log, question guide and suggested reading list by grade can be found on the district website at www.ossdms.org. The question guide(s) and reading logs will be turned in to the OSMS Media Center during the first week of school. Each school has created some exciting incentives that will be rewarded based on the number of books read. Take this opportunity to exercise your child’s mind this summer and discover the summer world of reading!
