OVSD is closed Tuesday, February 11th, 2025 due to the timing of the impending weather forecasted for our area.
We are now in a Snow Warning area. Please note that we will not be sending Chromebooks home in case of a potential snow day, as the fourth day of virtual learning does not count toward students' required learning hours. According to HB 33 we are not allowed to count time past the third calamity day as instructional time so we are not requiring the students to adhere to Virtual Learning those days. Thank you for your understanding.
Once we get a little closer to a more precise forecast for tomorrow we will let families know about school tomorrow.
Many have asked if we are at a point where we need to make up hours. We are monitoring our student hours closely in case we find ourselves in that position. Right now we have not hit that mark.

Monday February 3, 2025 will be out on our 8th calamity day. We will treat this with our virtual learning platform. Teachers will report and be available 9-2pm.

Parents, Students, and Community,
We are still dealing with many illnesses in our schools. Please know our administrators are very understanding of students needs to be at home because the student is sick. If your child is not fever free without medicine please keep them home. If your child has a nasty consistent cough or runny nose please keep them home. Students/Staff are passing this around our county like candy. We are deep cleaning, bringing in additional support, parents are sending in disinfectant wipes (thank you) and we are diligently trying to practice safe hygiene practices. We know attendance and those 'formal', legislative driven letters are such a concern. With that, I would add that we appreciate parent sthat also value sending their student to school. This is a time of exception and understanding. As an administrative team we will have grace and patience and ask the same from the community. Our staff is doing amazing things to keep up consistency and structure for students, but they are catching this medley of illnesses as well. Mask up, sanitize, wipe off touch points, and keep the students home if they are coughing to the point it may infect others - students can't help where particles go even with the proper elbow coverings. If their runny nose is colored or you have had to give fever reducing products the morning before school keep them home. Please honor the doctor recommendated return to school date if you have seen a doctor.
Much love, hugs, an d prayers for our district as we combat this together.
Dawn
Multiple illnesses have hit our county and many are absent from school. Working with the Health Dept we will stay OPEN as we continue to reach more students at school than online. We are intentionally deep cleaning as well as encouraging teachers and students to wipe off surfaces to combat the yuckies that are invading us right now- similar to our previous efforts with CoVid.
If your child has a fever please keep them home -we understand AND they will be sent home so they do not infect others. We will work through attendance issues individually with your buildings. We need to have Grace with each other as we navigate this time of year.
