Welcome to Okaw Valley Intermediate School.  There are many changes in store for our district and our school beginning with PBIS.  PBIS refers to Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports, a system in which positive behaviors are taught with the expectations, will begin on Thursday the 19th.  Also included in the changes for the year is the mandated RtI or Response to Intervention.  RtI encompasses both academic and behavioral aspects of the student and provides interventions to help the student as soon as a deficiencies are discovered.  To accomplish the interventions we are also adding a "Flex" period where students will be divided into their area of need and addressed.

As you can tell there are many changes all in efforts to further your students education.  If you have questions concerning these or other issues please call Mr. McCausland or Mr. Cummins.

 This year students will be dismissed  each Wednesday at 2:00 pm.

I Read to the Principal

The "I Read to the Principal" program was initated this year as an Accelerated Reader reward.  When a student reaches 50 AR points he/she earns the privilage to read to Mr. McCausland.  The student may read from their current book or select a different book.  The students have reacted overwhelmingly to the program.  Below is a slide show of those who have read to Mr. McCausland.
