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. This week's bell schedule will be a little different. Monday and Friday will be an Even Block Schedule with Periods 0, 2, 4, 6, 7. Tuesday and Thursday is an Odd Block Schedule with Periods 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7. Wednesday is a Minimum Day Bell Schedule and students will be dismissed early from school. Please see the OVHS website for more information about this week's bell schedule.
This month we celebrate Native American Heritage Month. We will recognize the traditions and cultural contributions that Native Americans have made throughout our nation's history.
This year's district food drive benefits our local community. We are in the process of organizing and distributing all of the donated food items for local families in need. If you and your family is in need of food, please make sure to complete the OV Cares Food Distribution Survey sent out through ParentSquare on Friday. We will begin distributing food bags this week. Thank you to all of you who donated to this year's food drive!
All parents, students, and staff are welcome to attend the next PTSO meeting scheduled this week on Tuesday, November 18 from 6-7pm in Room 307. Following the PTSO meeting, I will be hosting my first Principal's Coffee event. All are welcome to join me in a cup of coffee or a sweet treat. I will be available from 7-8pm in Room 307 to answer any question or concern you have or if you have a suggestion that you would like to share. Thank you for your amazing support in making OV the best school in the district!
Ocean View's English Language Proficiency Advisory Committee (ELPAC) will be having its first meeting of the school year this Wednesday, November 19 from 10-11am in the OVHS Library. The ELPAC Committee is an important group of parents and staff that discuss the policies and priorities of support for our English Learner students. Please consider participating in the ELPAC Committee and I hope to see you at our meeting.
Don't forget to mark your calendars, the PTSO Skate Night is happening this week on Wednesday, November 19th from 6-8pm at the Fountain Valley Skating Center. This fundraiser event will cost $10 and includes the cost of the skate rental. Please consider coming out to the skate night for a whole lot of fun while supporting our PTSO.
This Thursday during lunch we will be celebrating a Friendsgiving Food Fair and an extended lunch period. In addition to the school provided lunch, students will be able to purchase some sweet treats and some savory snacks. Don't forget to bring some money if you want to purchase any of the items in the food fair.
Hey Seahawks don't forget that maintaining good attendance and arriving to class on-time is important! Students who receive five or more tardies during a two-week period, will receive a lunch detention. Lunch detentions have already been issued for students the past month. Please make every effort to be on-time and engaged in all of your classes. Currently, our school's overall attendance rate is 93%, this is 2% less than my goal of 95%. With your help we can achieve our goal of overall school attendance rate of 95% by the end of the school year.
Hey Seahawks, how are you doing in your classes? if you are struggling in any of your classes, please make sure to ask your teacher for help. Your teacher is your best resource! Academic assistance outside of the classroom is also available. AVID tutors are available each day at lunch to provide in-person tutoring and there is also online tutoring available 24/7 through tutor.com
That's all for me, Seahawks. I hope you have an outstanding week! And remember, you can't spell lOVe without OV!
