&lt;h3 dir="auto"&gt;OVS Middle and High School Students:&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 dir="auto"&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h4 dir="auto"&gt;Many of you have DBAs scheduled with your teacher between now and the end of the semester. If you miss your scheduled DBA, we have another option for you:&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4 dir="auto"&gt;You can complete your DBA by going to the Open DBA zoom any day from 12/11/21 (Saturday) - 12/17/21 (Friday) from 9 AM to 9 PM by going to the following link:&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4 dir="auto"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="https://flvs.zoom.us/j/88486102587?fbclid=IwAR32tHRzpdkyo2iC9M61LsbvhPeE4Xu5kPi7kKbfC4obPGWJTLfCaGdNpzM" target="_blank" class="oajrlxb2 g5ia77u1 qu0x051f esr5mh6w e9989ue4 r7d6kgcz rq0escxv nhd2j8a9 nc684nl6 p7hjln8o kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x jb3vyjys rz4wbd8a qt6c0cv9 a8nywdso i1ao9s8h esuyzwwr f1sip0of lzcic4wl gpro0wi8 py34i1dx"&gt;https://flvs.zoom.us/j/88486102587&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4 dir="auto"&gt;Our OVS teachers are available to assist you. Please wait in the waiting room until a teacher pulls you into a breakout room for your DBA.&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4 dir="auto"&gt;Remember that while you are waiting for a DBA you should complete any and all work that does not require one.&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4 dir="auto"&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4 dir="auto"&gt;Sincerely,&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"&gt;
&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
