Principal's Message

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

There will be school this week Monday through Friday.    Monday is 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 Arab-American heritage month.  We will be recognizing the many historical and cultural contributions that Arab-Americans have made throughout our nation's history.  

Don't forget to mark your calendars!  This year's OV Overdrive Car Show is taking place this Saturday, May 2nd from 12-3:30pm.  Proceeds from the event will benefit OV Athletics. I hope to see you there!

Senior Reflections are happening this year on May 19th and 20th.  Seniors who complete a CAS portfolio as part of the reflections will receive a CAS pin to be worn on graduation.  We are still looking for parents and community members who would like to participate on the reflections panel.  Please let me know if you are interested in participating with the Senior Reflections.

Ocean View will be going through its WASC accreditation process next ​school year in February. ​ ​This is where I need your help Seahawk ​parents!  If you are interested in participating on a WASC ​parent focus group panel, please let me know.  We will ​be scheduling an ​information meeting later this spring to share more information.

Just a reminder Seahawks, it is very important that you arrive to class on-time every day.  Since there has been an increase in student tardies this year, we will continue to enforce random tardy sweeps until the end of the school year.  Students who are tardy during the tardy sweeps will receive a lunch detention.  

It's hard to believe it is already the 4th quarter and there are less than two months left in the school year. 12-week progress report grades will be viewable in Aeries beginning this Friday, May 1st.  I want all of you to finish the semester strong and do your best in all of your classes.  Don't forget, if you are struggling in any of your classes, please make sure to ask your teacher for help.  Your teacher is your best resource!  Additional help outside of the classroom is also available.  AVID tutors provide in-person tutoring every day at lunch in the AVID room and online tutoring is available 24/7 through tutor.com

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

Sincerely,

Dr. Rasmussen
