The 100th day of the school year was celebrated in multiple buildings across the District last week! H.B. Patch had a dress up day, stacked 100 cups and colored 100 day crowns. OES had a special 100th day photo booth in the media center! Taking the time to celebrate different milestones throughout the school year is just one way that our staff builds a positive learning environment.

Congratulations to our Fox Paw winners from H.B. Patch and OES for the week ending on February 14, 2025. Thanks for exemplifying the Fox Four of being safe, responsible, respectful, and positive!

The 10th Annual Family Literacy Night is Thursday, March 13, 2025 from 5:30-7:30. We look forward to welcoming families to OES to experience "Dive Into Reading - Let's Go Under the Sea" activities.

The District Calendar for 2025-2026 has been released. The calendar communicates the first day of school for students to be August 21, 2025, and the last day of school to be May 22, 2026. This change elongates the duration of summer, which will enable the majority of referendum construction to take place during the summer months.
