I hope that everyone had a wonderful week. We are entering the final stretch of the 2020-2021 school year and things are getting very busy at our school sites. Please make sure to review all communications from your champion’s school so that you don’t miss out on any important information.

On behalf of OPA-SV, we wish all of our OPA Moms a very Happy Mother’s Day, and we hope that you have a great day with your family.

OPA welcomes Dr. Stephanie Henry, Ed.D. as the new Chief Academic Officer. Dr. Henry was confirmed at the April 30, 2021 Board of Directors meeting as the new CAO of OPA. She will be starting in this new role on May 24, 2021. We are extremely excited to have her join our OPA team.

Last week was a wonderful week at both of our OPA campuses. We welcomed back over 150 students and all of our in-person students now have a full day program. Our virtual students are also receiving more synchronous instruction and support. Although we are getting close to the end of the school year, this increased instructional time will help ensure that our champions are academically successful moving forward.

We are all very excited to start our extended day program this Monday, April 26, 2021. Our staff and professors have been working extremely hard to make schedule changes, create small group times, infuse more enrichment activities into the schedule, prepare classrooms, and get everything ready for this exciting switch. Whether your student is virtual or hybrid, please make sure that you have reviewed all of the information sent from the chancellors and professors so that your champion is ready for Monday.

Happy Friday OPA! This has been a very busy week for our OPA staff, getting ready to bring back more students and have an extended school day starting on April 26, 2021. We are very excited to have our champions on campus for the longer day so that we can infuse more instruction, small groups, enrichment, and support into our school day for both our virtual and hybrid students! Our on-campus students will also be able to get back to some of the “normal” activities such as a longer day, lunch, and play time. I wish that it had been for a longer part of the year, but at least we get to have this extra time for a few months.
