Mr Snyder and some of our 7th and 8th grade student leaders (or Smilies as we like to call them) welcomed our 6th grade students to the middle school with a morning filled with fun activities. We got to know each other, played games, answered common questions about the middle school, did a 'Mission Impossible' style assault course, made crafts, tried locker combinations, ate pizza and had a water balloon volleyball event. Everyone left feeling a little less anxious about moving up to the middle school and some of us left a little damp!

Back to school paperwork is going digital!

Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, every Ovid-Elsie school will use FinalForms, an online forms and data management service, to complete all enrollment paperwork digitally.

If you or your child have been involved in athletics over the past few years you have interacted with Final Forms . We will now be utilizing FinalForms for academic paperwork as well as athletics. This allows you to complete and sign school forms for your students. The most exciting news is that FinalForms saves data from year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice! FinalForms also pre-populates information wherever possible, for each of your students, saving you time.

You may review your data at any time to verify it is current. You will be required to sign your forms once per year and after any update.

Look for an email from Final Forms and click on the Parent Playbook ( https://aptg.co/0DvS22 ) to get started. If you require any support during the process, scroll to the page bottom and click “Get Help”.

It was great to welcome former Ovid-Elsie Spanish teacher Mr. Don Barlow back to campus this morning! Mr. Barlow spent 24 years teaching at O-E before relocating to Florida to finish his career. Now enjoying retirement, he stopped by to visit with Superintendent Mark Horak and generously presented him with a copy of his book, Teacher to Teacher.

Thank you, Mr. Barlow, for taking the time to visit and share your book. We enjoyed catching up and reminiscing about your years at Ovid-Elsie.

Once a Marauder, always a Marauder! 💙💛
