Keep the Reading Momentum Going!

Our school community has already logged an amazing 155,612 minutes in the OCPS Reads Challenge. What a fantastic start!

With just two weeks left, we’re working toward our goal of 500,000 minutes, and we need your help to get there. Don’t forget to log your reading time each day!

Mrs. Do has been celebrating students who are logging their minutes with special awards, so keep reading and recording for your chance to be recognized!

Let’s finish strong and show what our school can achieve together. Keep those pages turning!

OCPS Code of Student Conduct Updates: End-of-Year Reminder: Let’s Finish Strong!

As always, the OCPS Code of Student Conduct can be found HERE.

As we head into the final stretch of the school year, we sometimes see behaviors start to ramp up with all the excitement of what’s ahead. This is a great time to remind students that our school’s Code of Conduct is in place all the way through the very last day.

We appreciate your support in reinforcing expectations at home and encouraging your child to continue making positive choices each day. Together, we can ensure a safe, respectful, and successful finish to the school year!
