Traffic Update - Click link below
Beginning March 17, Quarterline Road, near the Orchard View High School, will be blocked off preventing northbound traffic from reaching OVHS. We expect these protocols to last until after spring break.
Please click the button below to watch a brief video from Orchard View's superintendent, Mr. Jim Nielsen, and OVHS' principal, Ms. Sam Wilson that explains the easiest way to get your middle school and high school kids to school.
OVMS strongly urges families to prepare for significant traffic back-ups as families get used to navigating the road closure and school start times.
As a reminder, the middle school drop-off doors open at 6:50am.
Feel free to beat the traffic entirely!

Red Club
Red Club is a fun after school group where students learn skills that will aid them in managing their emotions and behavior and in improving their school performance. Last year's activities included games, arts and crafts, hiking, and group discussions. Red Club meetings will be after school on Tuesdays, and a late bus will be available to provide transportation home. If your student is interested in joining Red Club, they can pick up a permission slip in the middle school office. If you have any questions, please contact Lilliana Duyck by emailing her at lilliana.duyck@orchardview.org.
Reporting and Supporting Each Other
Middle School is a fun and exciting time, but it is important that we take care of each other.
As social groups form, students will seek out attention and validation from one another. While this is typical of your age group, if these social relationships do not stay healthy, unnecessary drama can be created.
Before you act or before you speak, take a few breaths, and think, "who is this helping?"
Ask yourself:
1) Is this true?
2) is this helpful?
3) is this inspiring?
4) is this necessary?
5) is this kind?
If you can't say, "yes" to all of the above, then don't do or say whatever it is you are considering.
If you know about a situation between students filled with drama or emotions that you think could turn into an altercation, whether it be verbal or physical, please make sure to connect with an adult right away. Every adult in this building is trained to support you or to get you access to someone who can support you. Violence is never necessary.
At the start of every newsletter is the:

or
CLICK HERE for Okay2Say - this is completely anonymous (but doesn't get to principals as quickly).
Finally
We are here to help. Please make sure to follow the Hallway SOAR expectations and thank you for helping us make our school community safe!
Gator Recycling
