From The Principal's Desk
I would like to thank the parents, students, staff, and community of Ogden for making the successes we have achieved possible. As a high school staff, we are committed to increase our communication with our parents in order to provide the best educational opportunities for our students. Student grades, attendance and a link to communicating with their instructors is available on Infinate Campus.
First semester grades were distributed during our Harbor Group time on Monday, January 11, 2010. Be looking for these reports! If you have any questions or need further explanation with regard to your student's progress, feel free to contact the classroom teacher. I would also encourage you to discuss the report with your student.
We will be beginning the process of obtaining student requests for their 2010-2011 class schedules in the next few weeks. Student transcripts are available on Infinite Campus which provide a history of the classes the student has taken. All classes should be working towards earning 253 credits to obtain an OHS diploma. Students will be working with their Harbor Leaders during our advisor time to create a list of classes they are interested in taking next year. A listing of the course offerings will be distributed to students as we begin this process.
At the writing of this newsletter, we have 5 snow days to make up due to bad weather. We will be having a 12:00 PM dismissal on Monday, January 18, 2010. Monday, February 15 will be a full day of classes. The remaining three student attendance days are: Thursday, May 27, Friday, May 28, and Tuesday, June 1. These days will be Semester Test Days at the high school. A schedule will be generated and available in the early part of May.
Thank you for reading this issue of the B U L L D O G N E W S L E T T E R and working together with the OHS Learning Team for the benefit of your child. We appreciate it!
