A message from Mr. Berson: $400K grant awarded for municipal share with Georgetown
I am very pleased to announce that a $400,000 grant application intended to support a municipal share by the Otselic Valley Central School District and the Town of Georgetown has been fully funded. District and community leaders have been working with Mr. Pete Walrod, Town Supervisor of Georgetown, and others to realize a vision: a shared facility that will serve as a transportation facility for the district AND a highway facility for the Town. This significant award from the New York Department of State Local Government Efficiency Program will be provided through the New York Regional Economic Development Councils. Read More

Students work on 1940 John Deere Model B tractor restoration

A lot is happening in the Power, Structural and Technical Systems class including recognition of history, workforce preparation, a little recycling, and plenty of school + community connections. Ms. Parrott explains: "Last week our class started a new project in the shop, and are the students excited or what?! They are working on restoring a 1940 John Deere Model B tractor, and working on removing and rebuilding many parts throughout the tractor. Talk about hands-on learning! We are very thankful for community members like Peter Robinson, the tractor's owner, for allowing our class this opportunity. Stay tuned for progress!"

January 2020: Principal's Message, and a request
I love taking this time to reflect upon the wonders of the New Year. Watching your children flourish with the guidance of our teachers at Otselic Valley is truly a blessing. While visiting classrooms, I witness children who are engaged and excited about learning. I am very proud of the children and the staff at OV, and I look forward to more great things in 2020! One of my New Year’s resolutions is to improve communication with our families. In order to do this, we are asking that you update us on your home, cell and work phone numbers, addresses and any email addresses. If you have recently had a change in any of these, please be sure to call the school for any updates. Read More
