Lesson Plans

OBHS has a digital learning initiative and EVERY students will receive their own personal laptop. The cost will be $25 annually but this is a necessity for this school year. We are implementing a new ELA curriculum and your student will need his/her device DAILY!

This year we are excited to implement a new curriculum: StudySync. This synchronous textbook will permit the students to work both online and through consumable workbooks.

READING IS ESSENTIAL

  • READ EVERY DAY 20 MINUTES
  • Journal what you read
  • Look up words that are unfamiliar

 

 

You are your own key to success push yourself daily and make a better you!
