Orientation & Meet the Teacher Night
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
*Parking can be a challenge with so many wonderful families rolling in and out. We will open the doors promptly at 5:00 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!
Teacher Announcement Postcards Coming Soon
Postcards will be delivered throughout the week, announcing your child's classroom teacher for the 25-26 school year. Keep an eye on the mail! Postcards are being sent to the mailing address on file. We're looking forward to partnering with you this year at Opequon.
Shenandoah Community Health
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
