How to Talk to Kids About the Coronavirus

Making the most of School Closure

Dear Parents,


We want to continue to encourage our students to grow as learners while school is out. Therefore, we put together some suggested resources for you to help the days pass more productively. Parents, feel free to utilize the video featured above to talk to your child or children about the Coronavirus. We are delighted to partner with each of you as we continue to move from "Good to Great" at OVE.


Stay Safe,

Your OVE Family
