Week 1

WE ARE ORES
What a first week! We are blessed. Our students are so enthusiastic, so motivated, and so willing. We have made some routine changes and they are rocking it! Thank you for sending your student to school every day by dropping them off at the K-12 entrance. Thank you for the goodies. Thank you for the encouragement. Just...thank you. My heart is so full.

New Changes to MORNING Elementary Drop off!
Elementary Drop Off and Pick Up
THANK YOU for dropping your elementary student at the K-12 entrance. We love having all the elementary enter the same way. Students go straight into the cafeteria and are greeted by Mrs. Bellis (from Secondary) and Mrs. Amanda (she teachers computers!). Thank you for making this change so effortless. Our kids are safer this way!
Pick up can be either at the K-12 entrance (if you have secondary students too), but can also be at the preschool entrance. Our pick up time is getting shorter each day!
