|| UPCOMING SAFETY DRILL NOTICE
Dear Otselic Valley Central School District Parent(s) and/or Guardian(s),
The safety of our students and school staff is very important to us. One of the ways we stay safe is by holding school safety drills. To help us practice and learn, we will be having a safety drill this week.
We will be initiating an EVACUATION DRILL.
Before we practice a drill, we teach students and staff what they need to do. We talk about how the drill will be announced and we always inform students and staff that it is a drill. These drills serve as a valuable learning experience, helping to ensure that our students and staff are familiar with building procedures and can respond quickly and effectively in the event of an emergency.
After the drill, students and families are encouraged to ask questions. Below are resources to help you talk to your children.
If you have any questions about the drills or other safety concerns, please contact the Otselic Valley Central School district office at 315-653-7218.

The OV Lady Vikings put up a strong and determined fight at Brookfield on Friday. The backline and hardworking midfielders were relentless, successfully stopping multiple attacks and keeping the game close at 1-0 through halftime.
Despite facing injuries and illness that left the bench short and dealing with unseasonably warm weather, the team showed incredible resilience. In the end, they fell 3-0, but not without a tremendous effort. Senior keeper Carli Golden was outstanding, making an impressive 25 saves, showcasing her talent and dedication.
Lady Vikings will have two shots a redemption later this week:
A Tuesday home turf match at 4:30 p.m. vs. Madison, and a Friday evening match Vs. S-E at Blackhawk Stadium in Oxford, also at 4:30 p.m.
