We look forward to seeing you!
Laptop Bags
Unfortunately, the cases the laptops came in are not enough protection for the screens on the laptop. Several students have dropped their laptop which has resulted in broken screens. The bag will allow your student to carry the laptop in the bag while having hands free for other belongings. The bag has a pouch for the student's charger so students can always have their chargers with them.
If the laptop bag is lost, a new bag can be purchased at the school store.
If your family is experiencing financial hardship and is unable to purchase a replacement bag, please reach out to Kristi Tolliver, kristina.tolliver@ops.org or (531)299-7513, to discuss your options.

Parent Tips for Successful Students
Schedule a regular study time: Along with a space to complete homework, set aside a specific time each night for homework completion. A structured routine will help your student stay organized. Some kids work best in the afternoon, following a snack and play period; others may prefer to wait until after dinner.
