Principal's Update
Today ended with a Splash! The Color Splash was a HUGE success thanks to the combined effort of many staff, the maintenance crew, and our super involved students!
Next week we are participating in the "Caps for Kids" fundraiser. Please consider donating to this worthy cause that has directly supported one of our very own students at OP! This year we are also taking part in "Wear it Wednesday," and each Wednesday will be a theme day. Please see the flyer below for our theme days this month.
I need to give a special thank you to all of our families who have been impacted by the shortage of bus drivers this school year. Many routes have had to be combined and have been later than scheduled and we appreciate your patience with this ongoing issue. We will always communicate with affected routes as soon as we get information from First Student.
September Dates:
Sept 12th-16th - Caps for Kids Week
Sept 14th - Themed Hat Day for Caps Week
Sept 14th - Fire Drill & Severe Weather Drill
Sept 16th - Armed Intruder Emergency Response Drill - 8:45am
It's a great day to be a Bulldog!
