THE PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
January 25, 2019
Thank you to the SGA students who planned and implemented our Mental Health Week! The yoga sessions, therapy dogs, valentine crafts and lunch bunch session on grief and loss were well attended and provided meaningful activities for students. Part of the emphasis on Friday was getting at least 7 hours of sleep each night and limiting evening screen time—TV, video games, phones, computers, etc. Do you have a set time that your family turns off all devices at night? If not, think about ways that you can implement this time as a family so that everyone gets a good night sleep and has more time to talk with one another. Thanks again to the OHS SGA for their work and creativity this week!
As a reminder, the FCPS perceptual survey went live on Thursday, January 24 and will be open until February 22. A random sample of OHS students will take the survey at OHS and will have a separate link that contains student centered questions. All parents are encourage to complete the survey the using following OHS family link. Please do not share this with other families that do not have students that attend OHS as each FCPS school has a specific school link:

Remember…students are off on Monday, January 28 and second semester starts on the 29th!
