Principal's Notes March 2010

NEWS FLASH

Otter Valley Union Highs School learned today that it has been removed from the list of the Vermont Department of Education’s list of “Lowest Achieving” schools.  In a press release issued on Tuesday, March 16, Commissioner Armando Vilaseca announced that due to a human error, “one element of a calculation was not included and therefore we mistakenly identified two schools…This error has caused both individuals and communities much concern and angst, and I take full responsibility for that.”

While we are pleased to be removed from the list of “lowest performing,” we also realize that we need to continue to improve learning outcomes for all students and we are committed to doing so.

To see the complete press release and an explanation of the error, please follow the link below:

 The Freshman Academy

This last month has been a busy one for the Freshman Academy team.  We’ve presented our program to the CAPP Committee of the board, the OV faculty, and this year’s 8th graders, and we’ve sent letters and questionnaires to their parents.  If you received one of these and haven’t sent it back yet, we are eagerly awaiting a response from you. 
 
We’ll host a series of question/answer sessions for 8th graders and their parents in January:

March Sports Report 2010

 

 As the winter season winds down we want to thank our senior athletes who will be moving on. We have watched them grow and mature as young men and women over the course of six years. They have played hard, have grown from the experience and have represented our community well. Thank you for the opportunity to watch you compete.

Senior night for varsity wrestlers was a very emotional event. Michael Brouillard's win early in the match set the stage for a great evening. Evan Bathalon and Shaun Mills had to win both of their matches for OV to win the overall match. Evan won quickly and Shawn came back after being down by two points to win his match with a pin. OV ended up winning the match 44-42 over a worthy opponent in Vergennes. Both Evan and Shawn have worked diligently over their careers at Otter Valley to be competitive wrestlers and it's great to see them enjoying an excellent senior season. Vermont wrestling assigner and ref Tim Ayer described the match as the best of the season. Congrats to the entire team for a great win.
