Principal's Update
We had another great week at OP!
I would like to remind all parents that the circle drive at Oak Prairie is strictly to be used for buses and emergency vehicles. While it may be more convenient to pick up your child at the circle drive, all car riders should be picked up along the regular pick-up/drop-off location by the parking lot, not the circle drive. This applies to all before and after-school activities.
IAR scores should have come home with your child earlier this week. Please check your child's folder or backpack if you have not seen them. An additional copy can be requested from school if you can't locate them.

Sept 26th - 6th Grade Forge Field Trip
