Class Connect Participation
It has been proven that student participation during class is directly linked to their achievement level. There have been dozens and dozens of studies that have been done on this topic. As teachers, we see this proven in our classrooms time and time again.
We look forward to interacting with you in class and watching you grow!
Seesaw, Mindplay, and Exact Path
If you do not have your student's login information for Seesaw, Mindplay or Exact Path, please contact your homeroom teacher for that information.
You will be seeing Seesaw used a lot more often starting this quarter. Your student will have exit tickets, writing practice and other things in Seesaw. They should look under the "Activities" button to find those assignments.
The expectation is that every 4th grader spends 60 minutes a week working in Exact Path either on their specific Learning Path or on an assignment assigned by the teacher. The work that students do in Exact Path will be used in the gradebook.
The expectation for Mindplay is just like other courses within the OLS. Each 4th grader is assigned lessons with specific due dates in the OLS. They will be need to be completed just like all other course work. You will notice Mindplay showing up on the Bison On Track Calendar.
If you have questions, please reach out to your 4th graders teacher.

Media Release Form
OVCA is focused on providing a safe virtual learning environment. With this in mind, we ask that a legal guardian complete the below survey for each student enrolled with OVCA. The media release form includes two sections: Photograph, Testimonial and Interview Release, and Face to Face Platform (webcam) Usage School-Guardian-Student Compact. You will be given the choice to accept or decline each opportunity.
Together we can help students reach their full potential through personalized learning this year! Thank you for taking the time to complete this form.
