Dear OVE Families,
May is just around the corner and that means we are approaching the final month of the school year. The first full week of May marks the beginning of our spring NWEA testing window. Your student will be completing math and reading tests that track growth and achievement throughout the school year. Please encourage your child to do their best work to help us get an accurate picture of where they stand as we start designing class lists for the 2024-2025 school year.
May 6th - May 10th is also celebrated as teacher/staff appreciation week. The entire staff at OVE invests so much time and effort into every position within the building. Again, we have partnered with our amazing PTO to provide many yummy and fun treats as a way to thank everyone for their dedicated work. If you do have an opportunity and feel so inclined, I would encourage you to send them a kind note or share a simple “thank you” for a job well done. We have fantastic people at OVE, and I want them to know how appreciated they truly are for everything they pour into our students and our school!
As we move through the month, there are many fun activities, fieldtrips, and celebrations taking place at each grade level. Please share in the excitement with your student. A continuous goal of mine is to create and maintain a learning environment that is safe, predictable and fun. I’m happy to report that most of our students love coming to school and they are extremely proud of their accomplishments. Stay tuned to the activity calendar and thank you in advance for continuing to be an active participant in your student’s education.
Thank you again for all you do to support OVE! As always, feel free to reach out directly to me with any questions or concerns.
Fly Eagles Fly!
Mr. Martin, Principal
