Important Information 

  

  • Orchard Hills Driveway and Traffic Safety Improvements Project Update - The long awaited project to improve traffic flow and safety at Orchard Hills now has the green light to begin construction the day after school gets out on June 14th. You will recall that the project had to be postponed a year because we only received one bid last year and the contractor could not guarantee completion by the start of school in August 2022. 

  • Expected Behaviors: There has been an increase in unexpected behaviors in all grade levels: unkind words & actions; physical aggression; disrespectful behavior towards other students and staff. Please review soaring eagle behavior with your child(ren). 

As OHS Eagles We:

Care for each other

Act responsibly

Show respect

AND Never Settle for less than our BEST!
