Oviedo High School Principal’s Weekly Update May 10, 2021

Congratulations to Senior, Sam Austin, who won the 800 and is a state champion! So proud of you Sam!

From the Yearbook Staff and Sponsor Anyone who did not get their book at the senior signing party will be able to pick it up outside of Bldg 5 from 7am through the lunches. This will be on the sidewalk between Bldg 5 and the Chiller. Seniors and underclassmen can come and get their yearbook. They must bring photo identification of some sort. A very small number of books will be available for sale--$85 dollars cash only. Anyone who needs to pick up their book after Monday, will need to come to room 5- 023 with their Id and see Ms. Pope to receive their pre-ordered book.

Tentatively, we will be returning to a 7-period day with 2 lunches next school year. The district reopening committee will finalize this in June.

SGA/Leadership applications due 5/12 at 2:30. No exceptions. See the link below. TINYURL.COM/OHSLead21

Congratulations to our Teacher of the Week Congratulations to our Teacher of the Week, Ms. Jen Pecoraro! The parents of students in Ms. Pecoraro’s class say she does a great job and has helped their students for many years now. They are very appreciative of her caring for all her students.

Congratulations to our Students of the Week Congratulations to Jenna Cossairt! Jenna is being recognized by Ms. Savage for being mature and empathetic to others.

Congratulations to Thomas Justice! Thomas is being recognized by Ms. Latimer for his work in Design 1. He asks important and pertinent questions. He does a great job preparing for exams and emails questions that can benefit the whole class.

Mr. Langevin would like to recognize senior, Patrick Costello (our editor-in-chief) and junior, Veronika Maynard (our art director) for student of the week. Their leadership and guidance this year has been invaluable to the team and their amazing work received such high praise from our state’s journalism association. They’ve had 3 advisers in 3 years, faced a split online editorial team, and a complete redesign of the paper and still maintained such a high-quality product where student’s stories are honored. Congratulations!

Stop the Spread

How can you help?

1. If your child is feeling ill or displaying any potential symptoms, please err on the side of caution and keep them home. Every student does have 10 absences that a parent can write a note for making them excused. This is per semester, so you don’t have to worry. Also, at home a student can log into eCampus/Canvas and stay up to date on the class material.

2. If your child has recently been tested for COVID-19 due to symptoms, has symptoms, or potential exposure, please contact Tanya Cameron at 407-320-4008. 3. If your student tests positive, please immediately contact Tanya Cameron at 407-320-4008 or call the school at 407-320-4050.
