Principal's Message
Hello Seahawks,
This is Dr. Robert Rasmussen with the OVHS Weekly Update. I hope you had an amazing 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 week is Clash of the Classes. This is one of my favorite times of the year when school spirit is on full display. There will be spirit dress up days and lunch time spirit events planned each day this week. Students who dress up will earn 5-Star points. Also, Friday is our Clash of the Classes Rally. I am excited to see who will win this year's Clash of the Classes event. May the best grade level win!
This week also marks the start of Smarter Balanced testing. Attention all Seahawk Juniors, this is your moment to shine! On Tuesday and Wednesday, 11th grade students will be taking the SBAC Math exam. This year students who score Standard Exceeded on two of the three SBAC exams this year and Standard Met on the other exam, will earn a district SBAC honor cord to be worn at graduation. Also, to qualify for the California Seal of Bilteracy, students must score Standard Met on the ELA exam. Good luck to all of our students who are testing this week. Remember, take your time, do your best, and make us proud!
Attention all seniors, if you bought a Grad Night ticket, please don't forget to turn in your permission slip. Permission slips must be completed and turned in to the Finance Office if you want to attend Grad Night.
Just a reminder Seahawks, if you drive your car to school, please make sure to park in one of the three designated OV parking lots. Students parking in the Huntington Beach Adult School parking lot will be ticketed. Also, if you ride your bike, scouter, or skateboard to school, please make sure you lock it up in the designated bike rack or skateboard locker. Students are not permitted to lock them up in any other area on campus.
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 district LCAP survey is now open. I encourage all students, parents, and staff to complete the LCAP survey. The survey helps the district to prioritize and determine how resources are spent to support our students and our schools. Please refer to the separate email message with the link to complete the LCAP survey. The deadline to complete the LCAP survey is on Friday, March 20th.
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 an outstanding week! And remember, you can't spell lOVe without OV!
