OPES Academies Information Session
Join Orchard Park Elementary for an information session on OPES Academies, a school-led initiative designed to support students in becoming 21st-century learners. Academies focus on essential life skills such as organization, motivation, personal responsibility, emotional regulation, social skills, and respect.
The PTO is pleased to help share this opportunity and encourage families to learn more about how Academies support the whole child both in and beyond the classroom.
