Dear Parents and Guardians, This message is to share information regarding ACOVSD’s plans for virtual learning. If we miss school on Friday and next Monday, our school will transition to virtual learning starting on Monday, January 13th. To ensure that all students can participate in online classes via Google Classroom, it is essential that they have access to a device. If your child does not have a working device at home, we will be offering a Chromebook pickup at the school from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM on Thursday, January 9, 2025 and Friday, January 10, 2025 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. If one of these timeframes do not work for you, please reach out to one of the principals via email (mike.roades@ovsd.us, tad.mitchell@ovsd.us or rodney.wallace@ovsd.us) and we will schedule a time that will work for you. Our district will continue to monitor weather and road conditions over the weekend. In the event we are not in school on Monday, January 13, 2025, students will be participating in virtual learning through the Google Classroom platform. Upon returning to normal school operation, students will be required to return their Chromebook and charger if they received one from school. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we prepare for this possible shift to virtual learning. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

It is really nice to see your students showcase their skills. I got to see these three students perform at a piano recital yesterday. They all did an amazing job.
