Happy New Year OPES Family!

We hope you're having a lovely and productive start. These mild temperatures have certainly helped as we ease into the second half of our school year. We're excited for all that is to come in 2019, including our Second Annual Winter Wonderland Dance. Tickets are now on sale for January 26's night of merriment. Ticket prices are $5 per student (this includes one '18 or over' parent or chaperone). Our Kindergarten-Second Grade students will party it up from 5:00-6:30 p.m. and the Third-Fifth Grade dance will follow from 7:30-9:00 p.m. Ticket forms are available under your Account Tab-Paperwork/Forms. Hurry and grab before they run out-Supplies are limited! We hope to see you there!
