RSD considers the safety of children our greatest priority. Everyone is welcome in school and we recognize the diversity and worth of all. We ensure physically and psychologically safe, secure and orderly learning environments. Secondary schools provide proactive instruction and student need-based tiered supports. It is our goal to create a respectful and welcoming school culture for students to thrive in. Full-time counselors and deans provide support for bullying prevention. RSD uses SafeOregon to report unsafe behavior and follows all policies outlined in our Rights & Responsibilities Handbook.

Extracurricular Activities

Obsidian offers a comprehensive music program. Band/Choir students have an opportunity to attend multiple festivals as well as host concerts periodically. Obsidian embraces student passions in regards to student-generated clubs and activities. Our students compete in interscholastic sports throughout the school year. These include volleyball, football, cross country, boys and girls basketball, wrestling, soccer and track. In addition our student leaders serve in a variety of ways outside of the classroom including community, athletic, and social events.

Parent Engagement

Parents and families are the experts when it comes to their children. The role they play in supporting emotional, mental, physical, and academic growth can’t be overstated. We believe that family partnerships are essential to growing lifelong successful learners and citizens. Therefore, OMS hosts a number of family-centered events every year in response to requests from the community. OMS believes in using family voice and feedback to improve the quality of our services. At OMS parents are encouraged to volunteer both during the school day and at evening events.

Community Engagement

The community that comprises Redmond School District is deeply invested in building a strong economic and social outlook. Therefore, Obsidian seeks opportunities throughout the year to engage with our community. This includes: partnering with local agencies to improve the quality of services to students and families, engaging community organizations in meaningful growthcentered dialogue, industry-focused listening sessions, and inviting dozens of local professionals into the school to speak with students during career day.
