Current 4K - Current 3rd Grade Families
As we plan for the 2021-22 school year, we are seeking feedback to inform planning for an online elementary option. We are currently looking to continue OVLC for grades 5-12 and if there is enough interest, we will move forward with K-4 program planning.
We understand it may be difficult to decide the best educational option for the next school year while we’re still in the midst of the current public health challenges. While some families chose the OVLC in 2020-21 primarily for health safety reasons, we recommend families make this decision going forward based on which educational model will be most conducive to their child’s long-term (post-pandemic) academic, social, and emotional success.
Please use this LINK to indicate interest no later than February 1st.
