Return to in-person
hybrid learning

Communication to Families, Return to In Person Hybrid Learning Form

Dear Overlea High School Families,

As stated in the BCPS Reopening plan, families who have selected virtual learning or not responded to the return to school survey, will have ongoing opportunities to update their choices and choose in-person hybrid learning. Our staff will be able to accommodate requests, make necessary arrangements and work with transportation (if applicable) to ensure a smooth transition back to school. The schedule below is in alignment with the phased re-entry to school. If you would like to return to hybrid in-person learning, please submit your request at:  Link To Hybrid Learning Form

Please use the schedule below to identify request date windows and hybrid learning start dates for students.  The specific start dates will be cohort dependent (Cohort A- Mondays and Cohort B- Thursdays). Families will receive a cohort assignment message before the first day of school.

Families must fill out a separate form for each student returning to hybrid learning using the school-specific form. Return to learning form links can be found on school websites. A member of our staff will contact you if we have any questions. Thank you and we look forward to your return!

 Monica C. Sample, Principal

OVERLEA

ATHLETICS

2021 Athletics Update

The past few months have brought many challenges for our program, and programs everywhere.  As we move forward with the 2020-2021 school year, we have several major announcements, changes, and updates to communicate.

We look forward to continuing to offer an exceptional program, that fosters growth for our student-athletes on the field, in the classroom, and as citizens in our community.   Please review the following sections carefully.  As always, if there are questions, concerns, or feedback that you feel you should share, please contact Athletic Director Bruce Malinowski at bmalinowski@bcps.org

Fall Mini Season

Athletics for the following fall sports will be starting Saturday February 13th

Transportation for Fall Mini Season

The below stops and times will be used to bring student athletes to Overlea for participation in Fall athletics from February 16^th to 19^th and from the 22^nd to 26th. There will be one bus per stop and it will leave from Overlea at the time below. Masks must be worn on the bus and safe social distancing must be maintained.

The following things need to be completed prior to participation in fall sports

Participation Eligibility

Students are, in a wholly inclusive manner, able to participate in the fall athletic program to start the 2020-2021 school year. Following the completion of the virtual period, and with the start of in-person instruction and in-person athletics, standard eligibility protocols will be followed. This means report cards distributed on February 11, 2021 will impact eligibility. In order for students to be eligible to participate in interscholastic athletics, the quarter grades that are received prior to the start of that season must demonstrate a minimum GPA of 2.0 (unweighted) and no more than one ‘E’. A student who does not meet either of those standards, or both, shall be ineligible until the next sport season, given that there is an opportunity with another quarter grade to re-establish eligibility.

Registration and Physical Exam

Registration of BCPS interscholastic athletics is hosted by FormReleaf.com

The specific page for Overlea High School registrations can be found here:

https://app.formreleaf.com/organizations/overlea-high-school

Students will need to be registered in order to participate in the Fall season.  That registration will carry-over into the second semester, where more traditional, in-person seasons, are scheduled to be conducted.  There is a separate registration for each sport, and we will work with the following calendar and registration windows:

The Physical Exam forms which are still required, are now slightly different.  The new form includes an additional COVID-19 page, which must be completed for all physical exams prior to participation. You may fax completed forms to 443-809-3249 or email bmalinowski@bcps.org

The updated form can be found by clicking on the following link:

https://www.mpssaa.org/assets/1/6/Physical_Evaluation_Form.pdf 

As always, a completed physical exam that is on file, is good for one calendar year. 

What Does the Season Look Like?

Semester Two: In-Person Interscholastic Athletics

Fall starts on Saturday February 13th

At this time, the tentative plan is for a resumption of the competitive, in-person seasons, according to the table above.

More details about scope and sequence of seasons, schedules, equipment distribution, etc. will follow.
