Summer Newsletter
As we wrap up another wonderful school year, I want to thank our families for your continued partnership and trust. Together, we have created a nurturing environment where every child is known, supported, and inspired to learn.
If you are new to our community and exploring school options, we are proud to be part of Collier County Public Schools, an A-rated district committed to academic excellence and meeting the unique needs of each student. Enrollment is simple and convenient through our district’s online system.
Looking ahead to the 2026–2027 school year, please note the following important dates and times:
- Meet & Greet: August 10, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
- First day of school: Tuesday, August 11, 2026
- School hours: 8:25 a.m. – 2:50 p.m.
Families are also encouraged to explore CCPS Summer Learning activities, which are available now and are a great way to help students stay engaged and prepare for the upcoming school year.
As you begin preparing for the new school year, please take time to review the School Supplies information available on our school website to ensure your child is ready for a strong and confident start.
Our school is more than a place to learn. It is a caring community where students build friendships, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. We are proud to be a school you can trust and a choice you can feel confident making for your child’s future.
OES is the Best!
