*OPHS Report-It:An anonymous way for students/parents to let officials know about student mistreatment/safety concerns Site updated 7/29/19
"Make us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong and never to be content with a half truth when the whole can be won." ~West Point
Parents/Guardians/Support Squad: I highly recommend FOUR specific ways to provide support:
- Read the Course Syllabus for the course that your student is enrolled in so you are aware of course expectations/protocols/materials/suggestions. Follow course links above or use "Self-Guided Tour" below to access documents/links.
- Encourage and make it possible for your student to take advantage of all 7th periods - my calendar for support is posted below.
- Go to "From Me: Explanations", here on my Google Site to hear me elaborate on critical course items - especially study strategies and expectations.
- Progress Report Analysis: every 5 weeks your students will be reflecting on their progress, please discuss this with them. Our goal is to maximize their understanding in the most efficient way!
The Self-Guided HyperDoc Tour below will be distributed in 'Google Classroom'.

This is a video recorded as I spoke with students in 2019 who were deciding between Honors and AP Biology. In addition to helping students differentiate between courses it can give you an understanding of what each course is like and how to do your best work in it. Two former students provide excellent advice as well and answer questions.

Cool Story about OPHS Science Department!
Don't be afraid of mistakes - (check out video) make your mistakes, adjust your strategies, try again, the sooner you fail the sooner you will find your success. Try different ways to study, to engage, to present, to design a lab.... you will get better faster!
This video was helpful to me in setting up my Google Site - it might be helpful to you as well!
