Enjoy your weekend!
Please see the attached from the bus company. There is now an email address to send non-emergent matters to.
Have a wonderful weekend!
This year our staff were reminded to be marigolds, not walnuts! Our second graders talked about how marigolds are companion plants they help the plants around them grow and thrive. They connected that to our school community and talked about how we can be marigolds too by being positive influences, helping others, and making the people around us better.
Each student planted their own marigold seed, and now we’ll get to observe them as they grow throughout the year. What a fun way to tie together our “Be a Marigold, not a Walnut” message with some hands-on science!
Cheer camp opportunity!
Important message from the bus company! Again, if you have concerns, please contact them at 618-632-3399.
🚌 Important Bus Transportation Update
We have an important transportation update for our families! The bus company’s My Ride K-12 app is now up and running. 🎉

We are soooo JOYFUL for your return to school!
OTHS has asked we share this concerning their events.
Our second graders read "Our Class Is a Family" with Mrs. Icenogle. She gave them bracelets for the day they became a family. Take a look at this!
AND...that's a wrap! We had a fabulous first day back to school!
Our families are just amazing! Thank you so much for your patience as we navigated arrival this morning. Apparently, the bus company did not communicate the change in map to their drivers. Attached is our map to clarify the change in arrival and dismissal. We greatly appreciate your cooperation and support!
We are soooo excited to see you all tomorrow!
