Our levy has made a profound difference for students by providing what the state doesn’t consider “basic education” like athletics, arts, after school clubs, and other national award-winning programs.

This is just a replacement of our existing levy and there is no increase to the estimated tax rate. Please visit our website for more information by clicking on the picture above, and remember to vote on Feb. 9!

February 1 thru 5 is School Counselors' Week: All In for All Students. Please join me in giving a huge shout out to our school counseling team:

- Guidance Counselor Grant Finney, A-L

- Guidance Counselor Chandra Mays, M-Z

- School Psychologist Terri Potter

We have always valued our counselors for their supportive services for students and families. Behind the scenes, they work together to set the stage for student success via student social circles, master schedule, prevention and intervention services, individual and group counseling, class lessons on topics like suicide prevention, and so much more. This year, most of us have come to truly value the importance of these services as we work together to endure the hardships of COVID-19. As someone once said, "Counselors cannot fix all of your problems, but they can make sure you're not alone to face them." Our counselors stand steadfast and at the ready for our students and families!

OHI's love and care for our students are deepened by the wise counsel and guidance of our counselors as they work tirelessly to keep each of us focused on the needs of our students and the relational dynamics of all adults engaged in their well being. "All In for All Students" is at the heart of every counselor. Let's extend our gratitude to our counselors each day during the week of February 1 thru 5 by sending them words of appreciation via email, sticky notes, handwritten cards, verbal thank-you's, and any other way we can show how much we adore them.

College and Career Week!

Parents, you are the #1 influence on your child’s career choice.

It’s not surprising when you think about it. After all, from the very day your child was born, you have influenced many of his or her choices – through the advice you have provided and the examples you have set. Your children naturally look to you for leadership and guidance in all aspects of their lives, including choosing a career path.

Good news!- You don’t have to have all the answers! You have teachers, counselors, and coaches to help, but you are your child’s greatest leader! You are in the best position to see the big picture and your role is to help your students access the people, tools, and resources to put them on the path to success.

The week of February 8th-12th will be College and Career Week at Oak Harbor Intermediate. All students will have the opportunity to participate in a Career Interest Inventory (Click the link to do it yourself!) to jump-start their thinking.

Join us by helping your student to remember the following College and Career Spirit days!

A Cohort-

Monday- Professional Outfits - dress up in the outfit of the career you want to have!

Tuesday- Real-life Hero Day - dress up to look like your real-life hero (this can be a specific person, like your teacher, or a type of person, like nurses!)

B Cohort-

Thursday-Professional Outfits - dress up in the outfit of the career you want to have!

Friday- Real-life Hero Day - dress up to look like your real-life hero (this can be a specific person, like your teacher, or a type of person, like nurses!)
