Howdy Trailblazers!
June 1-5
Greetings from Principal Bueno
It's the last week of school Trailblazers! I am so incredibly proud of all of the hard work our students have put into this academic year, especially through Distance Learning for the past 12 weeks. Ott administration is looking forward to attending this week's 5th grade Virtual Promotion Ceremonies this week with our students and families. We are hoping to see all of our 5th grade students present to experience a very special farewell from our 5th grade teachers. Please see below for details.
Our Pre-K through 2nd grade teachers will be sharing summer activity calendars this week with families. The calendars have a simple learning activity for each day, along with information on other learning opportunities like Ready Rosie Summer Soar, NISD/FOX 29 Learning for Littles and NISD Streamed sessions. Information will also be shared on the NISD website, please be on the lookout.
As a reminder, June 4th will be the last day for all of our students and report cards will also be posted into student HAC accounts on this day. Please take note of teacher comments and recommendations for this last report card. Teachers have begun to contact parents regarding various options of summer school programs being offered to all students in July.
The #OttPrizePatrol will be delivering prizes next Friday to our winners from “Name That Children’s Book”. Ott Family Nights will continue this summer for all of our Trailblazers, but we will be taking a couple of weeks off. We will begin to promote dates and times through social media soon. The following platforms are additional opportunities for families to stay connected with us over the summer. Please subscribe if you haven't already and please share this information with other Ott families. Thank you to all who are already following us, we appreciate it!

Lastly, I can’t thank all of our families enough for your continuous commitment and support through Distance Learning. I know it's not been the ideal scenario for learning for some, but I sincerely appreciate the genuine efforts from our families. I hope everyone has a safe and restful start to the summer, I look forward to working with you soon. Please stay connected!
