Reminders:

Tips & Tricks for a Successful School Year at OVCA
- Class connect attendance is extremely important in addition to completing online coursework. Please prioritize attending class every day and email all teachers if you know you are going to be absent.
- Create a family schedule to stay on track with all students' class connects.
- Come to class prepared. Log in to class a few minutes early with your materials to be ready to start on time.
- All assignments require 80% mastery in order to be marked complete. Click here to watch a video showing how to retake an assessment. If you run out of attempts, contact your homeroom teacher.
- If assignments are not completed by the date they are due, students will receive a letter M in the gradebook. The M is calculated as a zero until the student completes the assignment. Once complete, the grade will automatically replace the M.
