Principal's Message

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

There will be school this week Monday through Friday.    Monday will be a Traditional Bell Schedule with Periods 0-6.  Tuesday and Thursday is an Odd Block Schedule with Periods 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7. Wednesday and Friday is an Even Block Schedule with Periods 0, 2, 4, 6, 7. Please see the OVHS website for more information about this week's bell schedule.

This month we are celebrating Women's History Month.  Throughout the month of March we will be recognizing the many historical and cultural contributions that women have made throughout our nation's history.

This Tuesday at 6pm is our Future Freshman Night.  Please help us spread the word as we welcome our future Seahawks, the Class of 2030!

OVHS and HBAS is proud to host the Second Annual Job and Career Fair happening this Thursday in the OVHS Gym.  The event starts at 10am for adults and community members and beginning at 12noon, students under the age of 18 will have a chance to attend to event.  There will be over 30 different employers and community partners represented in the fair.

Congratulations to our Freshmen Class for winning last week's Clash of the Classes.  It was the first time the Freshmen Class has won our Clash of the Classes competition.  It was great seeing everyone's school spirit last week.  Speaking of school spirit, our next Super Spirit Friday is happening this week.  Show your school spirit at dress in your OV swag on Friday to get 5-Star points!

The ​Unified Glow Dance is taking place this Friday in the Theater from 5-6:30pm.  Don't forget to get your permission slips signed before attending the ​dance.

Just a reminder Seahawks, it is very important that you arrive to class on-time every day.  I noticed a recent increase in student tardies this year, therefore we enforced a tardy sweep last week.  Over 55 students were involved in the tardy sweep resulting in lunch detentions for those students.  We will continue to enforce unannounced tardy sweeps throughout the remainder of the school year.  

PTSO elections are coming up real soon.  Are you interested in serving as the PTSO president, vice-president, or secretary?  These positions are all open and all you need to do to apply is be a PTSO member in good standing.  This means a person who has attended at least one meeting this year and been a member of the PTSO for at least 14 days.  If you are interested in serving on the PTSO board please submit your name to [email protected].

The 4.5 week progress report grades are now viewable in Aeries.  Seahawks, if you are struggling in any of your classes, please make sure you ask your teacher for help.  Your teacher is your best resource!  Academic assistance is also available outside of the classroom.  AVID tutors are available to help students every day at lunch.  Also, don't forget there is online tutoring available 24/7 through tutor.com.  

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

Sincerely,

Dr. Rasmussen
