Principal's Message
Greetings,
Wow! What an amazing past three days! It has been a joy to welcome 1469 Bears to school this week. The school was buzzing with students and teachers are working hard to build connections in their classes and engage students in the exciting content that they are teaching.
I very much appreciate students arriving at school on time and your patience as we iron out the kinks in our dismissal process. Please be mindful of our traffic pattern, students should not be dropped off in our student parking lot in the front of the school. Student drop off and pick up is by the cafeteria doors. This is the safest traffic flow for all parties. Again, I just ask for your patience.
This week, if you are listed as the primary contact, you should have received an email from “FCPSNoReply” that contains a link to a snapcode for you to complete the Online Student Information Form. It is great that we now have the ability to send home less papers to collect this information. You will have the opportunity to update your contact information, re-sequence the priority contacts and emergency contacts, notify the school of important health information, and verify transportation information. Please complete this form as soon as possible.
New this year, we will be able to notify you of student absences via text message. We will be sending text messages in the morning for blocks 1 & 2 and in the afternoon for blocks 4 & 5 if a student is marked unlawfully absent. This new text messaging feature will help us better monitor attendance, but in addition, provide us an additional opportunity to communicate with you. If your student has a planned absence, please notify our attendance office at
OHS.Attendance@fcps.org
.
Next week we have a full week of school, with meetings for our Senior class on Thursday and Friday during SET. It’s going to be a great week!
Have a lovely weekend!
Sincerely,
Lisa Smith
