OCHS Letter to Families 12-14-25
Dear Hornet Families,
The final week of the semester is here, and it promises to be a busy one at OCHS. This week, we will hold SOL retakes for History, Science, Reading, and Math.
Report cards will be distributed electronically on the last day of the semester, which is this Friday. Student schedules will also be distributed this week. Please note that if your student did not pass a sequential course, their schedule may not be accurate until after the semester break.
We want to take this opportunity to thank all of our students and families for their hard work, dedication, and cooperation throughout this semester. Your support plays a critical role in our students’ success, and we truly appreciate the commitment you have shown to learning and growth.
We hope everyone has a restful and joyful break, and we look forward to welcoming students back for the next semester.
Sincerely,
Nick Sodano
Principal
