Principal's Update
This week was such a great week at OP and our students showcased what wonderful kids they are, over and over. I can honestly say, I was so proud of them and it's such a privilege to be their principal. Our 8th Grade students received multiple compliments from docents at the Holocaust Museum about their maturity and respectful behavior, and the 6th and 7th grade students modeled great character and behavior during two different assemblies this week. I even heard some adults talking about the OP students out-and-about during Halloween and the fun, yet respectful manner they witnessed in the local neighborhoods. These are just a few examples that were shared with me this week alone. Our OP students really are THE BEST!
As we approach Veterans Day, please consider some different ways to help recognize and support our troops. Oak Prairie will have an assembly with our students to recognize those that have served and we're participating in Operation Support Our Troops to collect much needed supplies for our troops. See the flyer below for items that are being collected.
Parent Teacher Conferences are right around the corner! Scheduling for individual conferences is open using the Meet the Teacher platform. See the attached letter for more information on signing up and using the platform. We did have a small technology glitch that impacted a few teachers and caused for a double booking. You should have received a message if this impacted your schedule. Please contact Ms. Lynette to help with rescheduling if the teacher is not showing up when you attempt to rebook. We apologize for this inconvenience.
