All families are required to complete an annual update (even if nothing from the previous year has changed). It's incredibly helpful to our school staff when this information is completed prior to the start of the school year. Please take time to fill this out for each student attending Opequon Elementary this year: https://bcswv.jotform.com/251564788986985.

This information was previously sent by BCS. To reference a more detailed version, please access: https://secure.smore.com/n/pdk1q

It's an exciting time as teachers have returned to the building to prepare for the upcoming school year! TOM'S Coffee truck will be visiting Opequon tomorrow, Tuesday, August 12th from 9:30-11:30. The majority of our staff run on... coffee! 😉 If you have the resources to "Send a Sip" to a staff member or two we'd be very appreciative. Just click the QR code above to donate (it will say "latte", but teachers can select whatever beverage they want at the truck). Thank you for your continued support!

Please join us at your child's assigned time on Thursday, August 14th to meet their teacher as well as the staff of Opequon Elementary School! We ask that you report to the cafeteria upon arrival for a quick welcome and introduction of our leadership team and teachers of each respective grade level. You'll then be dismissed with your child's teacher to visit the classroom!

Kindergarten 5:00-6:00

First AND Second Grades 6:00-7:00

PreK 5:00-7:00 Report directly to classroom upon arrival

*Parking can be a challenge with so many wonderful families rolling in and out. We will open the doors promptly at 4:50 and ask that once you've had time to meet with this year's teacher, that you enjoy time at home over the weekend and we'll see students on TUESDAY for their first day of the 25-26 schoolyear!

Postcards are still being delivered, announcing your child's classroom teacher for the 25-26 school year. Keep an eye on the mail! It's okay if you haven't received a postcard yet. We'll have plenty of staff available to assist with who your child's classroom teacher is at Orientation Thursday. We're looking forward to partnering with you this year at Opequon.

Last year, Shenandoah's Community Health program supported over 375 encounters with students and staff across participating schools. We hope it continues to grow and increases access to needed care for even more students this year. Shenandoah's mobile unit will be visiting select school sites throughout the year. Opequon's typical day for PM visits is Thursday. For more information and/or to register to participate at any point in the year, please visit: https://www.shencommhealth.com/files/SCH_SBH_Enrollment_Packet_BLANK_2025.pdf
