There will be an informational meeting about the ski trip on Friday, 2/3/17 from 10:40 -11:30 in Eve Heyman's classroom. Students going on the trip are required to attend. Parents and guardians are welcome to attend the meeting (but we understand if this won't work out for you to do so). If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact Eve Heyman, eheyman@mvyps.org. Also, if there is anything you think I need to know about your child being away from home or any additional information that would be helpful for me to know regarding taking care of your child overnight, please let us know.

2017 8th Grade Graduation Tuesday, June 13th @ the Tabernacle in Oak Bluffs

Graduação da 8a série, terça-feira, 13 de junho, no Tabernacle em Oak Bluffs

Graduation Requirements 

The Oak Bluffs School wishes to create a graduation ceremony that reflects the hard work and citizenship that we expect of all students. Each eighth grade student at the Oak Bluffs School is required to meet established academic and social expectations in order to graduate. Receiving a diploma and/or participation in the formal graduation ceremony, or any other school sponsored graduation function in June is not automatic. In order to graduate, eighth graders must have completed all course work, have a cumulative passing grade in each subject area, returned all books and materials (including uniforms for athletic teams/clubs), and paid all fines and fees. Students are also expected to complete twenty-four hours of community service over the three years spent in grades 6,7, and 8. Every effort will be made to provide early and ongoing assistance to students. Students not meeting academic graduation requirements will be expected to complete the work during summer school before going on to high school. Parents of students who are in danger of not participating in graduation ceremonies will be notified by May 1st. Final determinations and notifications will be made by the building principal to both student and parents by June 1st. It is possible for a student to be placed at the high school without participating in the graduation ceremony, and/or without receiving a diploma. Parents can make appeals regarding any decision to school administration. All decisions are subject to final approval by the principal.  

Requisitos de Graduação

A Oak Bluffs School deseja criar uma cerimônia de graduação que reflita o trabalho duro e a cidadania que esperamos de todos os alunos. Cada aluno da oitava série da Oak Bluffs School é obrigado a atender às expectativas acadêmicas e sociais estabelecidas para se formar. Receber um diploma e / ou participação na cerimônia formal de formatura, ou qualquer outra função de graduação patrocinada pela escola em junho, não é automático. Para se graduar, os alunos da oitava série devem ter concluído todos os trabalhos do curso, ter uma nota de aprovação cumulativa em cada disciplina, devolver todos os livros e materiais (incluindo uniformes para equipes / clubes atléticos) e pagar todas as multas e taxas. Espera-se que os alunos completem vinte e quatro horas de serviço comunitário ao longo dos três anos passados nas séries 6, 7 e 8. Todos os esforços serão feitos para fornecer assistência inicial e contínua aos alunos. Estudantes que não atenderem aos requisitos de graduação acadêmica serão esperados para completar o trabalho durante a escola de verão antes de ir para o ensino médio. Os pais de estudantes que estão em perigo de não participarem em cerimônias de graduação serão notificados até 1 de maio. As determinações finais e notificações serão feitas pelo diretor do prédio tanto para o aluno como para os pais até 1 de junho. É possível que um aluno seja colocado no ensino médio sem participar da cerimônia de graduação e / ou sem receber um diploma. Os pais podem fazer apelos em relação a qualquer decisão de administração da escola. Todas as decisões estão sujeitas à aprovação final pelo diretor.

Mrs. Robinson's Second Grade Class met with their Bridges Together seniors on Friday, January 19th.  The Bridges Together program brings senior citizens from the Oak Bluffs Council on Aging together with our three second grade classrooms and students here at the Oak Bluffs School.

Oak Bluffs residents, voters and friends are cordially invited to two Open Houses to participate in the concept development and design for a new building to replace the present Town Hall.  It is an opportunity to visit with members of the Building Committee and discuss the process and concepts being considered for a new building.  

The first Open House will be held at Town Hall from 10 AM to 5 PM on February 1, 2017.  Please enter the Open House on the lower level at the far-right door into the conference room.  A committee member will greet you and guide your self-tour of the many varied planning documents, sketches and photos available to the committee.  For the intrepid, physically able visitor, there will be a self-guided walking tour of Town Hall spaces, some not normally open to the public.  For everyone, there will be some light refreshment and a virtual tour of Town Hall.  

The second Open House will be held at the new Fire/EMS building from 10 AM to 5 PM on March 1, 2017.   There will be parking provided in the Station’s paved area next to Fire House Lane.  Please enter the Open House through the office door facing Fire House Lane.  The Open House will start in the first floor conference room.  A committee member will greet you and guide your self-tour of the many varied planning documents, sketches and photos available to the committee.  For the intrepid, physically able visitor, there will be a guided walking tour of the new Station spaces, some not normally open to the public.  For everyone, there will be some light refreshment.
​
The Town Hall Building Committee is very interested in hearing from you.  Please come and share your thoughts and insight with us.

Red's Best, a premier seafood wholesaler based out of Boston's historic Fish Pier, aggregates from over 1,000 small vessels annually.  The mission is to sustain the livelihood of American fishermen by purchasing whatever fishermen land and moving over 60 species daily. 

​Menemsha Fish House is the island coordinator working with Red's Best to provide fresh fish to the local school community through the Catch of the Day Program. Catch of the Day species typically include the following flaky white fish fillets: haddock, hake, pollock or redfish. Occasionally cod, flounder, sole, scup or whiting fillet.

​Here at the Oak Bluffs School we will be having fish tacos on Friday 1/20 and fresh fish again on 1/27.  Ask you child if they tried it?
