Principal's Message

Greetings Bulldog Families,

We completed IAR Testing this week and students worked very hard! Thank you for reminding them to have Chromebooks charged and ready to go and getting them here on time for testing - it was really helpful!

In this newsletter you will find camp flyers for OP Summer Camps, as well as a few other summer opportunities. We will also be hosting a Drama Summer Camp this year from June 22nd-June 26th and that flyer will be in next week's newsletter.

We are also looking forward to the D92 vs LWSRA Wheelchair basketball event, hosted at Oak Prairie on April 23rd from 6:00-8:30pm. Please see the flyer below for more information and to donate to this amazing cause!

Teacher Appreciation Week is coming and we have several surprises and treats planned for our awesome staff here at OP! Help us "Stock the Lounge" for Teacher Appreciation Week (5/4-5/8). We have created an Amazon List where you can simply ship the items straight to OP! Please place orders by May 1st.
