ILEARN testing continues this week. We will test mostly in the mornings. During testing no cell phones, wireless earbuds, or smart watches are allowed. These must be stored outside of the testing room. Students will need wired headphones and charger Chromebooks. Tuesday we will finish the Language Arts CAT test. Students will start it if they didn’t start yet.
Do your best! #socsowen #beawesometoday

We have several library books that need to be returned. Please call Mary Sadler, our librarian, if you have questions. #socsowen

It's a beautiful night for a track meet! Go OV!
Students did a great job with testing today! Please continue to remind them to bring a charged Chromebook & positive attitude. Some students didn't finish their test today. They will get to finish. They can go ahead and move to the next next with their groups tomorrow.
Students played BINGO with test taking strategies during SEL today. Winners chose snacks or drinks as prizes. Lots of winners today! We will all be winners when we bring a charged Chromebook, and come to school ready to do our best this week! #beawesometoday #socsowen

ILEARN testing begins this week and continues until all students are finished.
We are taking the state mandated tests for math and language arts.
We will be testing most students Tuesday through Thursday, starting first thing in the morning. Tests can occur on other days as well.
Please make sure students have CHARGED Chromebooks!
They will also need wired headphones/earbuds. Bluetooth earbuds, cell phones, and smart watches will NOT be allowed in the testing rooms. These will be stored safely nearby.
Students should be rested, be on time, eat a good breakfast, stay calm, and do their best!
Thanks for your help in making this experience stress free and smooth!

OVMS students raised just under $462 for our Sullivan friends. This included a $200 from our NJHS group. Way to go, Patriots! #socsowen #beawesometoday
Students should have brought home their 4th quarter midterm progress reports today. Please look over those and contact specific teachers if you have any questions or concerns. Please talk with your student about a plan to increase any low grades before the end of the school year.
Congratulations to the new OVMS National Jr. Honor Society members!

Our Lady Pats are the Patriot Invitational Champs! They knocked off Parke Heritage 10-1 in the opening round, and beat Riverton Parke 13-5 in the championship. They improved to 4-0 on the season with their two wins today. Great job, ladies! #socsowen #beawesometoday

Thanks to Mrs. Zigler and our National Jr. Honor Society members for their work on their fundraiser. They delivered filled Easter eggs and made bunny prints for those that ordered. It was a fun afternoon! #socsowen #beawesometoday
Our fantastic SRO’s are often involved in a variety of situations and experiences with our students.
One of those experiences included time with Mrs. Tucker’s Adulting Club at Owen Valley Middle School. Today’s lesson included learning how to jump start a vehicle.
Thank you, Deputy Brown and Deputy Rhienhart! (Special thanks to Councilman Neff for riding with SRO Browne today and taking photos!)
