We Are Hawks!
Oct. 18, 2021
Irons Family,
We had another exciting week of learning, along with many student activities on campus. I loved seeing all our students participate in our ORHS Homecoming week celebration. I enjoyed seeing all current and former students at the ORHS homecoming parade. We finished off the week attending the ORHS Homecoming game. While ORHS did not get the results they were looking for, our former Hawks fought hard the entire game. Thank you to all the teachers, students, and parents who attended the game to support the ORHS War Eagles!
Irons open house will take place on October 27th from 6-8. Open house will be a come-and-go event for you to meet your child's teachers and tour the building. To help keep crowds down, we ask students with last names starting with A-L try to attend from 6:00 to 7:00, and last names M-Z attend 7:00 to 8:00.
Irons PTO is excited to announce our Fall Dance!!! Save the date for Friday, November 12th, from 7-9. The dance is a casual event (NOT semi-formal/formal). All attire must meet the school dress code for students to attend. We will have more details on ticket sales and volunteer opportunities very soon.
Our school yearbook is on sale now for the best price of the year! Purchase early before all copies are sold out!
Report cards were passed out this week. If you have not viewed your child's report card, please ask them for it, or you can log into Parent Access Center to check all grades, attendance, tardies, lunch money, etc.
