Principal's Message
Hello Seahawks,
This is Dr. Robert Rasmussen with the OVHS Weekly Update. I hope you had an outstanding 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. Please visit the OVHS website for more information about this week's bell schedule.
This month we celebrate Arab American Heritage Month. Throughout the month of April, we will be recognizing the many achievements that Arab-Americans have made throughout our nation's history.
Testing season continues with the start of IB and AP testing this week. Good luck to all of our Seahawks who will be taking IB or AP exam in the next few weeks. Study hard and always do your best!
Don't forget to mark your calendars, the 2nd Annual OV Overdrive Car Show is happening on Saturday, May 3rd from 10am-2pm in the Warner Parking Lot. There will be music, food, and a lot of amazing vehicles and the best part is it is free to attend. I hope to see all of you there!
Our 5-Star End of the Year Blowout is just around the corner. What does that mean? It means that our Seahawks will be cashing out all of their 5-Star points accumulated this year. 5-Star points don't carry over into the next year. There will be some pretty amazing prizes that our Seahawks will be able to redeem with their 5-Star points. This is where I need your help! We are currently working to resupply our 5-Star store and are looking for donations for this year's event. Please contact the Activities Office if you would like to donate any items for our 5-Star End of the Year Blowout event.
Attention Seahawk parents, if you know ahead of time that your student will be absent for up to 16 days, please call the attendance office in advance so we can set up an Independent Study contract. Independent Study allows the student to continue to complete their coursework during their time of absence. It also allows the school to continue to collect ADA, average daily attendance, which helps the school continue to fund its programs.
The 12-week Progress Report Grades will be viewable in Aeries this Friday, May 2nd. If you are struggling in any of your classes, please make sure to ask your teacher for help. Your teacher is your best resource! If you need additional help, AVID tutors are available to help all students everyday at lunch in Room 415 and don't forget we have online tutoring that is available through tutor.com.
Hey Seahawk Parents, are you looking for a great opportunity to participate at OV? Then look no further! Senior Reflections are coming up next month on Thursday, May 22nd and Friday, May 23rd. We are still looking for any parents who would like to participate on a Senior Reflection panel. If you are interested, please contact me at: [email protected].
A big thank you to all of our Seahawk students and staff for the successful implementation this week of our a revised Technology Use and Engagement Policy. Students stored away their cell phones and other electronic devices during class. In the classrooms that I visited I saw an increase in student engagement and collaboration. It was awesome to see classrooms free of cell phone distractions and an improved focus on learning and engagement.
That's all for me Seahawks! I hope you have a wonderful week! And remember, you can't spell lOVe without OV!
