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.

Winter Conferences

Winter conferences are scheduled to be held during the week of February 15th on two evenings (4PM-7PM). Teachers will provide details regarding which evenings conferences will take place. Similar to this fall, conferences will be virtual and they will be scheduled in fifteen to twenty minute time blocks. February conferences are optional but we encourage you to sign up if you feel you need time to connect with your child's teacher(s). If an additional date is needed for conferences, your child's teacher will communicate a date for early March.

Yearbooks for 2020-21 School Year

If families are interested in a yearbook, they should contact their home school. With the program being new this year and multiple student transfers in and out of the OVLC, we will not have a separate yearbook this year. All OVLC students will be included in their home school yearbook. If you have any questions please contact your home school office.
