Welcome to Summer from Mrs. Eyler & Mrs. Comer

Families, we trust that you had a wonderful year at Opequon and that your summer is off to a great start! Please take advantage of all that Berkeley County and the surrounding areas have to offer for students and families. We believe that sharing a story together each day helps us connect to one another and bring our imaginations to life! Getting outside (when it's not 100 degrees) helps keep out brain and body energized. Our Parks & Recreation Dept has programs that are offered weekly. The public libraries have a summer reading challenge going on, and of course Pizza Hut Book it! is back in full-swing. For more information, take a look at the following links:

In addition, we are a host for the Summer Library and Math Explorers Programs this year! Come visit us. Details below.

Congratulations to our Second Graders for a most impressive year as they transition to Intermediate School! Have a wonderful summer! We can't wait to see our new PK-2nd graders in the Fall.

End of the Year Awards Assemblies

We could not have asked for a better end to the 2025-2026 school year. Our Opequon students grew tremendously over the course of the past 180 days. It was a joy to see so many families represented in our audience as we presented awards to students for their attendance, academics, and personal growth, as well as some fun superlatives (Most Likely to be principal/president, hold the door, have the most organized desk, etc.). Thank you for trusting us with your students and sharing in their educational journey together. Congratulations to Xander Butler & Margot Comer, both Kindergarten students, for each winning a bike for having PERFECT ATTENDANCE all year long! We had 8 students in the drawing. Hoping for many more next year! It was a wonderful year. Please enjoy photos of the final awards assemblies by using the following link: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjCWzX2.

Kindergarten Camp Registration

Opequon is hosting Kindergarten Camp on July 28th for students who have registered for Kindergarten and will attend Opequon this Fall. We already have several families signed up, but have space for more! We'd love to host your student during the morning session (9:00 - 11:00) or afternoon session (1:00 - 3:00). They will have the opportunity to meet Opequon Kindergarten teachers, practice some Kindergarten skills, and move through rotations just like they will experience as they enter Kindergarten! We'll have a small snack to share as well.

Please RSVP using the following link to secure your child's spot: Opequon Elementary Kinder Camp Registration Tuesday, July 28, 2026 9-11 or 1-3 – Fill out form
