Dear OVSD Families,
  
 We are very excited to welcome our students back to school tomorrow, September 5, for the 2023-2024 school year! We know that teachers, support staff, principals, administrators, parents, and the Board of Trustees share high expectations for student achievement. We are all committed to quality instructional programs that meet the needs of all students.
  
The Board of Trustees’ number one priority is student achievement.  The District will continue providing effective daily instruction, social emotional learning, and enhancing our enrichment and support services.  This includes ensuring that all students are well prepared for success, academically and emotionally, today and beyond!
 
To support the strong foundation that OVSD has built for continued success, we are focused on student and staff connections, a culture of collaboration and respect, a safe learning environment, and a strong partnership with parents.
  
Parents, you are your child’s first and most important teacher, and vital to our educational program. We invite you to be actively involved with your child’s school. Please feel free to contact us; we are here to serve you and welcome your inquiries and your involvement.
  
 We are looking forward to an outstanding school year! Thank you for supporting our schools and partnering with us to make a difference in the lives of children.
 
 Sincerely,

 Dr. Michael Conroy, Superintendent
 Patricia Singer, President, Board of Trustees
