Principal's Message

Hello Seahawks,    
 
This is Dr. Robert Rasmussen with the OVHS Weekly Update.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  

There will be school this week Monday through Friday.  Monday will be a Traditional Bell Schedule with Periods 1-6.  Tuesday and Thursday will be an Odd Block Schedule with Periods 1, 3, 5, and 7.  Wednesday and Friday will be an Even Block Schedule with Periods 2, 4, 6, and 7. 

Thank you to all of our 11th grade Seahawks for completing the CAST exam this past week.  IB and AP testing is just around the corner.  Good luck to all of our Seahawks who will be taking their exams!

During the month of April we will be celebrating Arab-American Heritage Month.  Throughout the month we will be recognizing the achievements of Arab-Americans throughout our nation's history.

In case you missed my message earlier this week, Ocean View was selected as the School of Excellence award winner of California.  This award highlights OV's commitment to providing access and opportunity for all students to pursue their educational dreams.  Congratulations to our students, teachers, staff, and parents for working as a team to support our Seahawks!

This week our PTSO will be holding a fundraiser event with BJ's restaurant (located at 16060 Beach Blvd) on Wednesday, April 24th from 12noon-10pm. Twenty-percent of all sales will go back to Ocean View PTSO.  
 
Don't forget to mark your calendars for Saturday, May 4th.  OVHS will be hosting the OV Overdrive Car Show.  This free event starts at 10am and includes some pretty amazing cars, music, food, and raffle prizes. Bring your whole family to this event!  I hope to see you there!

Ocean View will be hosting a parent presentation with guest speaker, Tony Orozco, on May 16th from 5:30pm-7:30pm.  The topic of the presentation will be "Parenting and Mental Health through Positive Discipline" and it will be presented in English and Spanish.  Dinner will be served for free and childcare will be provided.   

It's hard to believe but there is less than two months left in the school year.  Seahawks, if you are struggling in any of your classes and you need extra help, don't forget to ask your teacher.  Your teacher is your best resource.  Additional assistance is also available at lunch every day with our AVID tutors as well as online through tutor.com.


That's all for me!  I hope you have a terrific week!  And remember, you can't spell lOVe without OV! 
 

Sincerely,

Dr. Rasmussen
