Oley Valley Elementary School - January
Principal's Update
Welcome to 2017 and Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday break.
The end of the second marking period is January 17, with report cards being distributed to students on January 24. School will be closed on Monday, January 16 in observance of Martin Luther King JR. Day. Students will be treated to guest readers on Friday, January 13, in support of the Reader’s Win program. Retired OVES staff and community members will help promote the program by reading their favorite story to a classroom. Girls at OVES will have the opportunity for a date night with dad on Friday, January 20, as the PTO hosts the annual Princess Ball at 6:30 p.m.
I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the district Angel Tree fund in December. A BIG THANK YOU to all the students and staff at OVES for raising approximately $3,000 as a school. The monies raised help support 31 families and 74 students in the Oley Valley community. The support from the OVES community never ceases to amaze me!
As a reminder, the Oley Valley School District will be using one, two, and three hour delay schedules this year. Bus pick-up times and parent drop-off time are either one, two, or three hours delayed based on the delay issued by the district. Also, please make sure contact information is kept up-to-date with the school to ensure correct information is used for weather related delays, early dismissals, and closings.
Parent Lunch Visitations
Parents are invited to join their son/daughter for lunch at school during the second semester. Grade level homerooms have been assigned specific days throughout the second semester when parents will be encouraged to come and have lunch with their child. Please click on the link below to access the form that needs completed by parent(s) who will be attending a lunch(es).
Paper copies will be sent home with students. Only one form needs completed.
Best Wishes Mrs. Allbee
THANK YOU TO THE PTO!
OVES Works Hard for Different Charitable Efforts
During the week of December 5th, the OVES Student Council joined forces with the PTO to raise money for the Angel Tree Project. The Angel Tree Project is an annual fundraising drive which donates gift cards to families in need during the holiday season. The elementary school conducted a week-long coin war. Students and staff were extremely giving and donated almost $3000. Grade 5 was the winning class and received a soft pretzel party. The entire school, for their generosity, received a hat day on December 12th.
Thank you to the PTO, Student Council, and all students and staff that helped support our charitable efforts during the holiday season
Student Attendance
Please remember to send in excuse notes when your child is absent from school. After three (3) days without an excuse the absence will be unlawful. Students missing school for medical reasons should have a doctor's note. All excuse notes should be sent to the elementary school main office.

Kindergarten registration for the 2017 - 2018 school year will begin in February of 2017.
