Conferences
When: Wednesday October 23 4:30-8:00 and Thursday October 24 12:30-8:00
Where: OVS 3215 Cuming Street-2nd Floor Auditorium
Why: Parent teacher conferences are a time for the learning team (learning coach, learning facilitator, AND learner) to connect regarding the learners' growth goals for the school year using MAP data, current progress, and how the team can work together to finish this semester off strong. Think of it as a huddle in football! You are strongly encouraged to attend so you can rally the team around your learner to ensure a winning season!

COFFEE!
Hardy Coffee Fundraiser
Don't forget to add the OVS pawprint to your cart so OVS gets credit. Choose the last name of the learner you want to support. Doing so ensures that if a friend or family member orders coffee, we can get it to your learner for delivery. Orders will be fulfilled in November.
