Message From the Principal

OHS Families and Friends,

I hope this email finds you safe and well. The school year is in full swing. It has been great to see students enjoying themselves back on campus. Thank you for all of those who came to our Back to School night last week.

With progress reports only a couple weeks away, students are encouraged to attend consultation at 8am on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday mornings to get help from their teachers. Grades are available in the Aeries portal. You can find tutoring times and places at the bottom of the newsletter.

Included in this update is additional information regarding the upcoming school year. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions or need assistance. We are here to help, and we look forward to a great school year!

You can also email us at mdelatorre@ouhsd.net or smedina@ouhsd.net
Only persons listed in Aeries can excuse an absence.

Attendance Policy

Students not feeling well while at school are to let the teacher know so they can be sent to the attendance office where the nurse can check them or the we will contact the parent/guardian to come pick them up. To avoid texting in class, we will not send passes for sick students.
