Dear Families,
We hope you all find the time to enjoy the summer weather this weekend! We had a wonderful week at Orchard Hills. Please read below for important end of the year information!

Important Information
Car Arrival/Dismissal Reminder- please be mindful of the neighboring houses so we do not block their driveways. As the arrival and dismissal car lines move, please leave space so that when it stops you do not block the driveways. We are so fortunate to be a true neighborhood school and have very supportive neighbors. Showing them the respect back is one kind way we can support them as well.
Parent University - Join us for our next Parent University on Tuesday, June 7th at 6pm at Milford Library. More information and to RSVP, click here.
Room 17 Math Sidewalk Challenge & Summer camp
5th Grade Parents/Guardians- On April 25 a letter was sent to each Grade 5 family listing the district assigned Middle School for the 22-23 school year along with information on the May 19, 2022 middle school visit day. Please contact the main office if you have any questions. As always, thank you for your continued support. We value your involvement, partnership, and support in your child’s education!
Library Book Returns- As the year begins to wind down, we are working to collect library books that have been checked out to students this year. Bins will be placed around the school for students to return books and reminder slips will be sent home to students who have books checked out. Please take time to look through your house and bookshelves to ensure library books are returned! The last day that students can check out books from our school library is Friday, June 3. Thank you!
