End of School Year & Returning Items
Our last day of school is Wednesday, May 26th. Do not return materials prior to this date.
K12 will provide prepaid UPS shipping labels to return materials to you. Labels will be sent prior to the first day of school. Materials can be sent back in any box, not just the boxes you received them in. If you need additional prepaid shipping labels, go to www.k12.com/support and select Click Here to Request UPS Return Labels found on the right hand side. Note: If you are returning to OVCA for the 2021-22 school year, do not return your computer.
To find out which materials should be returned, learning coaches should log in to their OLS account.
- Click the Learning Coach's name, located on the top-right of the home page.
- Click the My Info link.
- Select the student name, and then the "Orders" tab to see a list of all material orders.
- Select the order number that you would like to view.
- Scroll down to Course Materials to view a summary of your order; this includes a list of the materials provided for each course, the kit name/SKU number, the order status, and tracking information.
- Click the arrow (>) to see the items provided in each course kit.
- Use the icons (next to each item) and the Return status listed below, to determine which materials will or will not need be returned once the course and/or School Year is complete.
If you have any additional questions, please visit our help website available here.
Letter Name Fluency
Letter/Alphabet fluency charts are a great way to give students practice with letter & sound recognition. These charts have duplicated letters to give students the repeated practice they need. Point to each letter as the student recites the letter. Once letters are recognized with ease and promptness, use the fluency charts to practice letter sounds. The goal is to achieve quick letter recognition and immediate letter sound production. This is vital to begin putting letters together to make words and ultimately, beginning to read.

Technical Issues?
One thing to do if you are getting error messages is to check your email first. A lot of times if something major is happening (ie: trying to enter class) it has been addressed and an email has been sent out. With everyone having the same issue and emailing the homeroom teacher you may not get a response quick enough. If class isn't working or you suspect class may have been canceled, check your email and see if your teacher or Mrs. Claggett has sent an email regarding the situation.
