As part of an ongoing effort to strengthen campus safety, we are pleased to announce we are using a visitor management system called “SafeVisitor Solutions” at our school to add another layer of security. 

Keeping our students and staff safe means knowing who is in our school buildings at all times in the unlikely case of an emergency. The visitor management system will allow us to screen visitors, contractors, and volunteers entering our schools electronically. 

All visitors at OHE will be asked during regular school hours (8:45 to 3:05) to present a government-issued form of identification to enter school grounds or to check a student out of school. Accepted IDs include U.S. government-issued licenses, identification cards, permanent resident cards, or active military cards. Staff members do not need to use this system.

If no such identification is available, the parent or guardian will not be allowed past the front office.

Any live animals on campus should be pre-approved by the principal unless they are a service animal. If your pets are accompanying you to pick up or drop off your student, please keep them in your vehicle or on the sidewalk off campus (not on campus in the parent loop area). 

This is for the safety of our students, as well as your pets. If you have any questions, please direct them to the main office or the principal. at 360-279-5100.

Fall picture day is approaching fast. We will have every student photographed on Friday, September 27. To place an order please visit: www.oconnorphotographystudio.com and click on "Fall School Portraits" and then find our school.

We are still looking for volunteers for our next High 5 Friday on Friday, September 20. Trust us, it's a great way to start your day.

We will have staff and local community members line up at arrival time (8:15 am to 8:40 am) offering high fives, fist or elbow bumps, and words of encouragement to students on their way into the buildings.

The High Five Friday is intended to allow community members to make connections with our students, build positive relationships, and gain a greater sense of friendship with students in our community. 

If you would like to volunteer to greet our students, please contact our office at 360-279-5100.

Military and Family Life Counselor (MFLC) - Ms. Codi is here at OHE this school year 2 days/week (Tuesday & Thursday)! Eligibility is for Active Duty, National Guard, Reserve, or Gold Star family member(s). The MFLC provides confidential non-medical counseling services to children and youth in groups and individually. She also offers support to families, staff, and support personnel. Working with a counselor can help improve behavior, performance in school, and relationships. Parents must consent (via parental consent form, see below) and must be service-eligible. 

New Deployment group(s) will commence in October and will run for about 6 weeks. Deployment group is an opportunity for military students to meet and talk with others about deployment, get support, and learn ways to help deal with deployment. This group is for students with a family member who is deployed, will be deployed soon, or recently returned. The deployment group is considered a "closed" group which means once the group is formed, no new members are permitted to join. **New groups will be established each trimester of the school year**

If you are interested or have any questions, talk to a school counselor, the main office, or our MFLC.

Thanks so much,

Codi
