IT Help
To more effectively and efficiently serve our teachers, students, and parents I have created a Google Form to fill out if you have technical difficulties. Please bookmark this link in your child's device so you can fill it out when you are facing technical challenges.
Please do NOT email help@ollv.org as you will be directed to fill out the IT Help form. This form will help us track data to help us address reoccurring occurring problems in a more systematic manner.
In-Person Picture Day: Wednesday, September 16
Please make sure students wear their winter uniform on Wednesday, including your cardigan sweater. See the parent-student handbook if you have any questions. We will not be permitting missing students to change into the summer uniform, however, we will unbutton and take off our ties.
Virtual Students will take place on Wednesday, October 21st.
Parent Notifications
Students will be required to attend detention after receiving three “Parent Notification Forms” and/or notification of more serious behaviors (such as poor conduct in class or during recess, inappropriate language, fighting, violation of academic honor code, etc.). Please note: one merit erases the issuing of one “Parent Notification Form.” Parents/guardians will be notified at least one day in advance when a student is assigned a detention, and are expected to cooperate. Students will serve detention under the supervision of Mrs. Bello.
Hot Lunch
iXL for Classwork or Homework
iXL is an amazing tool that helps individualize education for our students. Teachers will be using it for classwork and homework. Your student's username and password are as follows:
The username: student####@ollv
The password: last name####
https://www.ixl.com/signin/ollv
If iXL is assigned for either classwork or homework students are NOT required to earn 100 SmartPoints. To earn 100% credit you must earn a score of 70 SmartPoints or higher. Though it is always encouraged to earn 100 SmartPoints it is NOT required for full credit.
iXL can also be a way to enhance or support our students at home. Outside of homework and classwork students are always welcome to complete on "Recommended" topics.
Sick Students: 72 Hours Symptom Free with Doctors Note
Terra Nova Testing: September 21-25
Next week, Terra Nova testing will be administered to students in Grades 2 through 8. Taking tests can be hard work – requiring lots of energy. We recommend that students get plenty of rest and eat a nourishing breakfast and lunch on test days. Please be sure to have your children arrive at school on time. In addition, we would ask you to schedule routine doctor/dentist appointments away from next week. Homework assignments will be minimal during test week. Most importantly, don`t forget to ask your child(ren) about the testing each day. Thank you!
Virtual Learners: Terra Nova does not offer online assessments, however, our goal is to administer the Terra Nova to all virtual students upon their return to campus. During the hours of testing each day, our virtual students will not be scheduled for classes as our teachers will be fully engaged with those students who are testing. Each teacher will provide the schedule for virtual class times during Terra Nova test week.
Reading Books
Please make sure that you send your child with an independent reading book each day. Even through COVID-19 we want to make sure that we are developing Life-Long Learners that want to read when they finish their work early.
