Dear OLHS Families,
Thank you for your continued patience and support during COVID-19. Many things are constantly changing, and we’re all learning how to live our daily lives differently. I appreciate you so much. As the world’s attention focuses on coronavirus, during the holiday season, turn your attention to those close to you. The faculty and staff of Ocean Lakes High School wish you peace, joy, and an amazing holiday. May this wonderful time of giving and spending time with family convey to you the joy that lasts throughout any virus! Please let me know how OLHS can best support you during this time.
Keeping an Eye on the Metrics
As of December 7, we report 10.1% positivity and 477 cases/week, which place us in the red/red. Therefore, we are announcing to families and staff that the SLCs are closing, select SWD receiving in-person learning will revert to virtual-only, and winter varsity athletic tryouts are postponed. Also, given the current trend regarding these health metrics, we have decided to reschedule the high school SOL writing test. Please understand that we cannot reopen schools while the health metrics are red/red. Our numbers will not change for the better if we do not work together to stem the community spread of COVID-19. I encourage you to please wear face coverings, wash your hands often, and please keep your distance from others whenever possible. Thank you for your continued patience and vigilance during this pandemic.

Planning for Term 2
Password Reset and Recovery for Secondary Students in ClassLink
Parking Pass Refund
You may have seen a social media posting indicating all student parking fees will be refunded. It was recently decided that any student who paid for a parking decal would receive a full refund. Our bookkeeper will complete the refunds on or before Friday, December 18th. The checks will be mailed to students' homes, so they are received before the holiday break.
Advanced Technology Center Virtual Open House
NHS Tutoring
OLHS National Honor Society will open its virtual tutoring center on Dec. 8. The tutors would like students to join a Schoology group if they are interested - that way, they can advertise the Zoom link through that page and use the update wall for tips and sharing resources. The Schoology code is KNJJC-WK6VG.
