Sketchnotes allows students to process their thinking from new learning to
identify main ideas, supporting details, make connections within the material and
with previously learned content, and organize their learning. The use of images
(representations) helps students to increase connections in the brain as well as
provide a way of synthesizing the notes. This is an example of Sketchnotes by Miss Mattie Gambill in Mrs. Begley's class.
OCES students in grades 3-5 will be taking the Kentucky Summative Assessment May 9-May 15th. Please help us ensure strong attendance by avoiding appointments, tardies, or early checkouts during this important testing period.
Attendance and being on time are both critical to a successful testing experience. We appreciate your support in making sure students are present, on time, and ready to do their best each day.

88% of Elementary School students agreed with the High School that Sample B was the favorite milk! Sample B was from Borden Dairy. This information will be used when scoring bids for next year's milk vendor. Thank you to all our students that helped us in voting!
This week at OCMHS:
Taste Testing at OCHS! Today, students sampled milk from two different vendors and voted for the milk they like best. This data will be used in selecting the milk vendor for next school year! Sample B won the taste test with 92% of students choosing this brand. Tomorrow, we will see if the Elementary School agrees.
