Parents and students in grades 7-12 who want to play Modified or Varsity Soccer are invited to an informational meeting on MONDAY, AUGUST 15 at 7 PM in the gym. We will go over expectations for both levels, explain student and parent behavior expectations, review the concussion protocol, and sign forms. If you are unable to attend the meeting, forms are also available on the website. These completed forms must be submitted to our school nurse before the first day of practice for Varsity (August 22),  and the first day of school for Modified (September 7).

Children 18 years old and under, including those who don’t live in our district, can eat two FREE meals per day at Otselic Valley Central School thanks to the USDA-sponsored Summer Food Service Program. On Mondays through Thursdays from July 5 till July 28, breakfast is served from 7:30 am - 8:30 am, and lunch is served from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm. No application or proof of need is required.

Please note our new bell schedule for the 2022-2023 school year (see more in the article). Doors open at 7:30 AM for breakfast; the first bell is at 7:45 AM; students are tardy at 7:50 AM. Also, 10th period has been built in to help us offer additional electives throughout the day and to offer extra help and enrichment to all students at the end of the day.

[EXPANDED PROGRAM -- Vikings from Kindergarten through 12th grade in the fall are welcome to join!] NEW THIS SUMMER: July Summer Sports Camp (for Vikings who will be Kindergarten through 12th grade in the fall) and Basketball Sundays (in two sessions held each Sunday morning through the end of August). Staying active, developing skills on the field and on the court, learning teamwork, and having fun are the goals. We hope these sessions will help promote our Town Rec sports program, support our school's future Modified and Varsity athletes, and assist parents. Space is limited so sign-up (linked HERE) will close when we're at capacity.

The Otselic Valley Central School District is pleased to welcome Mr. Brett King as our new P-12 Principal and Special Education Director.  He officially joined us on June 29, and also attended our graduation ceremonies for the Class of 2022. We also appreciate the excellent leadership provided by Mrs. Deb Kurtz in the interim. Our good wishes are extended to both Mrs. Kurtz for her service to OV, and to Mr. King as he joins Executive Principal Shelly Principal in their work with our school community. Thank you, all!

We have lift-off! And sometimes we don't...at first. Recently Ms. Beck's two science classes of 6th graders took their experiments in chemistry and engineering outdoors as part of a project integrating concepts studied throughout the school year. "If students were able to design a rocket that overcame gravity, they got a 100%. Students helped each other, gave advice, and tried/re-tried different methods. It was a true experiment in the scientific method."
