Our PTO is continuing to expand! Thank you to those who attended our most recent meeting. :) If you're looking for a way to get more involved in your child's school experience, check out our PTO! We are a Parent-Teacher-Organization that supports the students and staff of our school. Any dues paid or funds raised 100% stay at our school. We also have volunteer opportunities for parents and guardians at our school events and activities, both during the school day and after hours. Please join us and bring a friend to our next meeting on Wednesday, October 8th at 4:30pm in our Opequon Elementary Library!

We hope you'll join us in creating another great year at Opequon Elementary!

One of our favorite events of the year is quickly approaching! It begins next week! RSVPs should have already been submitted to the classroom teacher by using the form provided in your child's take home folder/binder. It's a wonderful experience and has tremendously helped families partner with teachers in seeing their child succeed. Don't miss this chance to see your child and his/her teacher in action.

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

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

Parents! Students have had a great opportunity to try new foods over the past few weeks. As a reminder, the choice offered M-F remains the same from week to week:

Monday's Choice is Soft Pretzel with Cheddar Dip

Tuesday's Choice is Chef Salad with Breadstick

Wednesday's Choice is Cheesy Pull Apart Bread with Marinara

Thursday's Choice is Cheeseburger with Toppings

Friday's Choice is Whole Grain Chicken Nuggets with Dipping Sauce

These remain an option for students throughout the week on each day. We continue to see lots of salad eaters!
