Welcome back, Patriots! We are excited to begin the second half of the 2024-2025 school year.
Construction is winding down. Over Christmas Break our contractor was able to get a majority of the major projects completed including new flooring between the new administrative offices and the library. There are only minor things that remain along with shelving and furniture for the library. And here is the part you'll be interested in. With construction coming to an end, we are lifting the open toe shoe restriction. Students may wear their open toe shoes starting tomorrow (yes, we know the weather will be a bit chilly).
With the new semester comes some new changes. First, we happy to offer a JAG Program (Jobs for Americas Graduates) at the middle school. JAG will focus on helping students improve their academics, attendance, and decrease discipline referrals. Our specialist is Joel Freeman. Mr. Freeman is an assistant football coach at OVMS.
Finally, as we embark on the new semester tomorrow, I encourage you to log on to PowerSchool and check your schedules. There may have been some changes cover Christmas Break to your schedule, and I'm sure you may have forgotten where you need to report.
We will operate on a 2-hour delay schedule tomorrow. Students will report directly to 1st period in the morning! Stay warm tonight, and we look forward to seeing you in the morning.
