The annual High Attendance Day for the 2024-25 school year falls on September 12 this year.
We are encouraging all students and families to set a high attendance mark for their school.
Each of the schools within OPS will compete against each other to see who has the highest attendance for that day. The winning schools will be awarded with prizes for both students and staff for their efforts.
Get a good night's sleep and set your alarm to join us tomorrow, September 12 and help us set the high attendance mark for this school year!
Donatos is a good choice tomorrow!

For the month of September, we are asking kindergarten students to bring in non-perishable food items for our Blessing Box that is in the front circle.
Items can be dropped off in the front lobby, students can bring them to the gym in the mornings this month, or taken directly to the Blessing Box.
Examples of items are macaroni & cheese, pasta, crackers, cereal, etc.
Please help us show compassion for our neighbors in need.
Our first All Pro Pal meeting is right around the corner!! We encourage students to either bring their fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, or a positive male role model to All Pro Dude. Likewise, we encourage students to invite their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, or positive female role models to Mighty Ma. During these meetings we provide a light breakfast and spend time diving into character topics such as problem solving, creativity, integrity, service, and more!! We hope you will join us! As always, our meetings are open to everyone! Future meeting dates posted below.
