A Message from our Principal, Mr. Pflugrath...
Dear Osbourn Family,
As we start another week of distance learning and a great start to the second quarter, a friendly reminder that first quarter report cards are now available in PowerSchool! To learn how to access your child’s report card, visit https://www.mcpsva.org/Page/4681 . We are celebrating Digital Citizenship Week and Bullying Prevention Month at Osbourn High School. Advisory classes participated in a lesson titled "Osbourn Eagles Against Bullying," organized by the OHS PBIS Team. Thank you PBIS team, we had tremendous positive feedback for this lesson. This week we are also offering the PSAT and SAT tests at no charge to those Juniors and Seniors that pre-registered for the tests. I wish you all the best of luck.
We hope that you are able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful fall weather. As always, our teachers, counselors, and administrators are here for you if you need anything. Please let us know if you have any questions!
Sincerely,
Mike Pflugrath
Principal
Osbourn High School

Having Trouble connecting your tablet to WIFI?
If you are experiencing WIFI issues on all tablets, please do a double restart from the screen using the power button icon before logging into the tablet.
Make sure you are putting the right password in for your network and make sure you are near or in front of your router. Many routers have dead zones on the top and behind the router. If you are located in these areas access may be limited. There are several articles online that address ways to fix dead zones in your home and there are phone apps that you can download to help find your dead zones around your home as well.
Another way to troubleshoot the WIFI connection is to run Troubleshooting network connection issues, found in the Network Internet Setting Menu on your tablet. If it does not resolve the problem, please write down the error message or use the snipping tool to record the message you are getting and enter that information into the Virtual D.A.D. link on the OHS webpage.
