OES Family Update
January 26th, 2024
Message from the Principal
OES Families,
We are settling into a routine of being back in school following winter break and the multiple disruptions to the school calendar due to the weather. I want to extend a sincere note of appreciation for your flexibility and support during the weather related interruptions. Our number one priority is the safety and well-being of our students and staff, so thank you for all you did this month to adjust schedules and support student learning whether it be an E-Learning Day, late start or traditional school day.
While we have been in school, I am very excited about the amount of growth our students have shown since the beginning of the year as Mid Year Benchmarking data is being finalized this week. Seeing the conversations taking place in classes throughout the building about individual students or a class as a whole, meeting or exceeding a goal has been a highlight. I commend our staff for taking the time to set goals with our students and work with them to create action steps to meet those goals. The sense of pride and accomplishment I have witnessed in our students when they have realized a goal this month brings a smile to my face every time as I see how hard the kids are working each day and am proud of our school for instilling positive work habits in our students. If you haven't already, I encourage you to have conversations with your child about their progress in the 1st semester and make a plan as to how they can continue to make growth to reach their goals this year!
Ryan Huels
